Herm can easily identify talent, but just has no idea what a good offense entails of.

I agree, though Herm was definitely pushing for the rebuild by year 2. He insisted on Croyle starting while Peterson pushed Huard down his throat.

I also believe the era would have looked much different if Herm was given one more year. I'm glad he didn't, because I knew he wasn't a coach that could take us deep into the playoffs. But with the roster he had in 2009 + #3 pick in the draft + $57M in cap space + a much better offensive system under Gailey, the team had a good chance of at least being respectable in 2009.
