Look, I'm not saying Edwards is the greatest coach since sliced bread. But I do give him credit for changing the culture and attitude of the team. Bringing in a lot of good young talent. And getting that young talent ready to play. I also give him credit for turning around a defense that was humiliating to watch.
All I'm saying is that I don't think he deserves as much hate as he gets.

This is a good take if your talking NCAA football. In the pro ranks, coaching staffs work off a game plan to utilize your strengths vs their weakness's on a week to week basis(IMO). Teammates rely on team leaders to motivate one another gameday ala Ray Lewis/Joey Porter to name just a few.
Herm had no other choice but to "re-build". And thats what scares me, is our coaching staff will be doing it.
