My feelings on Herm are undecided. I'd rather not give up draft picks, and I'd rather have Saunders, but Herm's success or lack thereof will be determined by his coordinators. He's not an Xs and Os. guy. Once we find who his coordinators are, I'll be able to answer the question.

As a motivator / administrator, Herm is fine I think. I wanna know the damn coordinators, though.

I'd say it did. The year he left the Jets the Patriots gave him over a Million dollar deal for a year. I don't think he even played the whole year out but he damn sure got paid.

OK, maybe it worked for STEVE, but not for his teams.

I like his press conferences more than any other coach.

And really, thats whats important.

His quote?

"Herm is a dick. You play your ass off and he just keeps expecting more."

That is EXACTLY what we need right now...

Yep, Herm is not Parcells, but he's not some softie who just gets walked all over. I think he's a good fit for the team we have right now. Maybe if we had a different kind of team I'd be more in favor of someone like Stoops or somebody else, but I think this team would respond best to Herm Edwards.

I'd be more comfortable with the Herm hiring if I knew he cried as well as DV.

I don't think Herm can take a sow's ear and make a silk purse. He's not going to make Eric Hicks a player. It took DT on the other side to do that. He's not going to make Bartee a player. Herm can't make John Browning 10 years younger.

We need talent. And to get that talent we need draft picks. And we are (reportedly) giving up picks to land this guy.

I think it's just huge mistake.

Yeah, but look who's doing the drafting (LJ pick excluded)

I agree, the Hermie era will rival even the John Mackovic era that will help Clark usher Carl out the door sooner than 4 years from February.... (god I hope I'm wrong... about Hermie, not Carl)

Indeed he did.

Martin has always been a role player.

He's great against the run and fundamentally sound, but he's got poor NFL speed. As far as the college game he was great, but he can't get after the QB.

Honestly, I'm shocked someone didn't make him a 3-4 end with the strength he's got...
