Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Herm was traded to Kansas City in a rather nasty little transaction that left a lot of people in New York ticked off and/or grateful. Herm left behind a team good enough to go 10-6 under Eric Mangini the next year. At the time, people in New York were saying that this proved how bad a coach Herm was — look at what Eric Mangini was able to do with the boys! I think now you can argue pretty persuasively that Mangini can’t coach a lick.

Good article

And he summed up Herms situation pretty good.

Herm got caught up in the transition between the Chiefs being a decent team and it falling apart. At the time Herm came in, no one would have accepted scrapping the old players and starting over immediately because we all loved those veterans, even though they were on their way out.

Its a shame they couldn’t have started the rebuild a year earlier and seen it through to the end to see if Herm was right or not.

I think five years from now

Both Jets fans and Chiefs fans will see Herm in better standing than they do now.

+1

Already hearing about him compared to Mangini out here. At least Herm got them to the playoffs 3 out of 5 years.
