(To say nothing of some of the fans, but that is another story.)

Dante Hall wanted out because Herm didnt pat his head and rub his tummy after every practice. Trent Green wanted out because Herm actually wanted him to compete for the starting job, rather than hold his hand, kiss his forehead, and tell him everything would be all right.

And now, after the team wins their first game in a year, Tony Gonzalez leaves the locker room pouting over not breaking a record in the exact manner he wanted to. Because he got used to DV and Saunders and crap like the final game in 2004, when they threw him a dozen 1-yard passes just to break the single-season TE catches record. Even though the record was completely cheapened by the way they it.

What we had here under Vermeil were a bunch of soft, weak teams, and he turned a bunch of guys on the roster into soft, weak pussies.

Just imagine in 3 years what we can write about what Herm did to this franchise... I think drool buckets and Helmets are in order....
