Debating Herm's Future

He thinks his staff has done a fine job and wants to bring back ALL the defensive coaches on the worst defense in the league. Carl has absolutely nothing to do with any of that. It's clearly time for him to go.

Herm is definitely to blame for not wanting his assistants fired, but to say Carl has absolutely nothing to do with any of that is absurd. I think you're forgetting who's the boss of who. If Carl Peterson demanded that Gun be fired after last season, there wasn't anything Herm could do about it.

I don't like Herm's gameday coaching. You're not going to have a hard time convincing me of that. But from a personnel standpoint, I think he's done a good job given the resources he was given.

Carl has noting to do with game decisions. I'm not forgetting anything. There is no rational way to defend this coaching staff. They have proven, along with Herm, they are pathetic.
