When Herman Edwards was fired by the Chiefs on Friday, he said he was going to choose between working as a defensive backs coach, taking time off or trying his hand as a TV analyst. It looks like the bright lights of television have won out.

Adam Schefter reports that there is mutual interest between networks and Edwards, and all signs are that he’ll be spending the 2009 season in front of the camera.

It seems like the right move for Edwards at this point. He’s a good talker with strong opinions and he’ll have producers helping him with clock management. A third shot as a head coach may not be in the cards for Edwards, but if he does well on TV he could find himself in the mix at some point down the road.

I don't understand why anyone would want him. I hate his manner of speaking....maybe I'm weird, but he always sounds dumb to me.

Trust me...it's not just you.

"Alright, so we didn't score and that's bad. But the other team didn't score much either and that's good. But we lost and that is bad too."

Sounds like a blubbering idiot, I was always embarrassed when I heard him speaking on SportsCenter.

Hes made for some interesting sound bytes over the years.

This would probably work out well for him.

At least you can make out what Herm is saying. He may say some stupid off the wall things, but he can enunciate.

I don't see how doing well on TV merits one a head coaching job.

It's done wonders for Jim Fassell.

If Emmitt Smiff can get away with saying "Eli Manning has been given the rice of passage," then it is perfectly acceptable for Herm to say "flustrated."

I figured this was coming. TV and Herm Edwards are the perfect marriage.
