In this case I think it's that they shared the same belief in building the team through the draft. That's how I think it should be done but starts with the QB from the draft. Herms problems were game day but he was good at the draft. The proof there is the guys that were left over are still our best players. I'd take Herm over Romeo Crennel.
A big problem Herm had was our O-line got old and Carl Peterson didn't address this problem before it became a problem. They thought they all had another season in them but then Roaf and Shields retired too they weren't prepared for that.
I kind of wish we could have kept Herm for bringing in players and getting a top QB. Herm was a better coach than the team he was given at the time. He got us to the playoffs, he won playoff games with the Jets did he not? So yeah I think Herm is better than what we have had since. I don't want him back don't get me wrong, but his teams wearn't getting blown out on a consistant bases either like they have been the last couple of years.
