Yes the offseason, training camp, preseason and 5 regular season games is enough to see if he was failing. Hell Marty messed around with players as well, remember William White? JC Pearson? That big signing of a DL from Denver that flopped bigtime, cant thank of his name... Chester McGlockton... Dude the list is long and dirty...
Herms commitment for playing the best players? JFC he didnt have the balls to blow this up last year and tried to sell a playoff run with Huard... Dear God man, stop massaging his sack and take a look at what he has done here...

I have always said that the offensive scheme is all chan. The decision to commit to the type of players they have is on herm. You have refused to give herm any credit whatsoever and are finding a way to even use the offense's success to slam herm. What is that?
You should probably be a head coach in this league, because you apparently think it's really easy to come up with a scheme that best fits the strengths of 4 new lineman, a new fullback, 3 different QBs, etc.... And you can obviously spot in a preseason game which players are playing well, where players like Tyler Thigpen are throwing up INTs against third string defenses.
Player evaluation is hard. Coming up with a scheme is hard. It is absolutely unreasonable to expect any coach to be that perfect in their scheme/talent evaluation. I don't care if you're Herm Edwards or Marty schottenheimer. The key is, they got it right and they got it right quickly. Most of the moves I complained about the team making (i.e. sticking with Darling, Sams, etc...), the coaches got right in the end. They gave both of those guys a chance to succeed and then very quickly cut the cord when they didn't like what they saw.
I don't deny that the team should have been blown up last year. But let me again ask you how we would have blown it up, given that 5 years of bad drafting under Carl Peterson's direction gave us pretty much no youth to work with. Let's be clear that a major reason we were able to rebuild this year was because we had 10 draft pick rookies to work with.
