I do not dislike Herm. I just don't have any faith in him winning a SB. How hard is that to understand? I'm sorry but unlike you, and Carl, I don't consider making the POs a success. There is only 1 winner every year, and I don't think Herm will ever be the last man standing. It's nothing personal.

This is literally word for word what used to be said about Cowher.... before he won the Superbowl. That's not a defense of Cowher(don't want him, don't want him), but an example of how impatient fans can be with a head coach.
I want to win a Superbowl too. I want that very badly. But it isn't simply a head coach that's holding this team back from winning a Superbowl. If that were the case, I would gladly agree with you. The team still needs pieces. And a new head coach isn't going to wave a magic wand and get us to the Superbowl more quickly. I think Herm is the right type of coach for a team in this phase of development. And if the new GM has a coach in mind with the same mindset for building a team, then bring him on in. That wouldn't disappoint me at all. I just don't want to lose the philosophy of building through the draft. I don't want to lose patience now, and make things worse. I understand that there are other coaches who would support a rebuild, but I know there are a lot more who would go in a different direction.
