What is your opinion of Herm's coaching style?

**Bowser** · 08-16-2007, 12:27 PM

After watching Hard Knocks and watching Herm jump aorund like he does, what do you think? I try and put Belichick in his shoes, and just can't see it. Even Shanahan, for that matter (blech).

Do you think Herm is an effective coach/leader, or do you think he is all antics and no show?

Niether Belichick or Shanahan have the physical ability to hands on coach the way HE Does. I can however picture Shanahan with a man bag and fishnet stockings giving $2 tic checks in an airport mens room

Herm's doing okay. I like the way the franchise "seems" to be headed. Only time will tell. Everyone else has been a failure, so maybe my bar is low.

I'll let you know in January.

Personally, I like Herm Edwards as a coach. I don't like his offensive "mind", but that's another subject.

He also seems that he is tough with his players, but able to relax and joke with them as well. I like him in KC, but not when the offense is on the field.

He's Okaaaaaaaaaaay

I loved how he was dogging on Sapp, telling him he still had those worms on his head, saying he was gonna put in that activator and 'pop' he'd turn into Wesley.

He plays to win the game. Nothing wrong with that

Your question about his coaching style is a tough one.

I have a hard time overlooking what I perceived as total ineptitude last year. I grew to question his true motives. Did he actually want to win a playoff game with "Dicks Team?" Did he make a deal with Dungy when he went to their house for dinner? Terrible thought, but it ran through my mind. I began to despise him.

However, after watching him in the hard knocks series, especially the first one, I think his style of leadership will work in the long term. I think his talent and leadership are much greater than his personna through the media.

Is he a good game day coach, probably not yet. But if the team and other coaches are properly prepared, they should be able to overcome his shortfalls.

Love Herm's style of coaching. He always interacting with players and expects nothing but the best from them. However it is Solari I think that will define this year's progress offensively. I think if this year is rebuilding then we need to consider another option at OC if he doesn't pan out.

**noa** · 08-16-2007, 12:53 PM

I imagine it would be easier to take direction from a coach like Herm than a coach like DV.

chiefs4superbowl · 08-16-2007, 12:54 PM

I like his mentality and draft picks. He understands defense.

I don't like this stuff.

If he brings home a couple SB trophies I don't care if he acts like Nathan Lane in The Birdcage.

I know Gunther would like Herm to grow a beard, but.......
