Chiefs Herm Edwards needs to finish what he started - Page 7

Chieftain58 · 12-24-2008, 02:19 PM

Throwing Herm Edwards out now would be a step backwards. He started this youth movement and needs 1 more year to prove himself. If he fails so be it but give the guy a chance he has created a competetive team that looks good for the most part except for the pass rush. He has done alot of positive on our team.

(1) He has found a potential QB of the Future
(2) Great Corners and Safeties
(3) Offense is clicking and improving
(4) Offensive line is good
(5) Made us the youngest team in the league

Herm is a great motivator and the players love him even if the fans don't. Throwing him out now would create another year of rebuilding in the new image of the new Coach and set us back another year.

(flame away)

I'm not even wasting my time.

If you think a HC that has a 15-33 record over 3 years deserves to be back, then you don't deserve to breathe the same air as I do.

**The Bad Guy** · 12-24-2008, 09:54 PM

8 losses by 7 points tells me this team has talent, but the coaching is awful. The 2nd half adjustments are just ****ing terrible.

If this team had a capable coaching staff, it would have at minimum 7 wins. There is no way a knowledgable coach would put Dorsey in the position he is now, Hali on the right side to start the season, Derrick Johnson at MLB and think Brodie Croyle could be anything but a clipboard carrier.

I can't wait for this new GM to be hired so he kicks Herm's ass out.

Hey Bad guy,

Im in the same boat as you man. You know, records speak...they are very powerful. kinda like that saying, actions speak louder then words. know what i mean? no matter how herm tries to spin it, that this team is young and its growing and through growth comes losses. i dont buy it! i think its an excuse for herm to coverup for his losing ways...im all for change a breath of fresh air is definately needed bro.

I'll give Herm 1 more year, but there better be drastic improvement,I like what I see in Thigpen, it will be nice to see him get all of the reps after Croyles funeral. Working with the first team for months should improve his play. Secondary is three deep at both positions.Defensive line needs a rushing end and we'll be set there. Linebacking is where we'll pay the FA price.Draft youing tackle with tallent and move MacIntosh to guard.Line should improve. Fill in the right ball handlers and this team could win 11 games next year.

Neg rep... Sorry can't let this one lie.

suds79 · 12-24-2008, 10:37 PM

I wouldn't give him another year because while I agree with the rebuilding process, don't think he's the man to direct the team.

- His teams always are unprepared come regular season. 0-2 is pretty much a given. With those bad starts, it's hard to imagine this team ever having a 13-3 record.

- A lot of his 1st day defensive picks have disappointed or regressed. Isn't defense suppose to be his expertise?

- poor clock management

- Poor halftime adjustments and all the close losses. Those things speak directly to the coaching and obviously it has been bad.

Time to cut bait.

Yep. Just look at our 3rd quarter stats for proof of that.

It's always a good time to fire Herm.

(2) Great Corners and Safeties (Great corners and safties? must be why their in the pro bowl)
(3) Offense is clicking and improving (so from shitty to ok got ya)
(4) Offensive line is good (maybe one game)
(5) Made us the youngest team in the league (Not difficult)

They fear change, maybe? Let go. There are better coaches out there. That's what I don't get. There are other coaches out there with innovative ideas and, I'm certain, better ability to adjust at halftime and finish games.

If you have a Dodge Neon, but you can easily upgrade to a Mercedes, what do you do? There's no issue with taking a young team and handing them over to a more talented coach. This sick obsession with keeping everything "Carl" (Herm, Gunther, any mediocre player or coach you have an unjustified woody for) has potential to hurt this team.
