I understand the change in philosophy with player acquisition in 2008 but damn man, 2-14?
We won 4 games with a reeruned head coach and a non contributing 2009 draft. |
Herm made a bold step by cutting a ton of veterans and focusing on youth in 2008. It was a ballsy move and it was in the best interest of the team. It's not like he was trying to pretend the team was good.
For as much as people hate him, he made a move that was right for the team, even if it meant hurting his reputation. Hard to disrespect that.
