He was originally hired because he was a friend of Carl Peterson’s. This is only his 3rd season. It’s not unusual to keep a coach that long even if he is losing.

We’re just waiting on the new GM to make his decision on Herm and I think that’s all there is to it.

I am sure that is why Herm isn’t fired. Give me a break. The new GM will decide if he stays or not.

It’s because Hunt’s holding off on any other moves until he gets the GM hired. It’s also likely why Gunther, Krumrie and Priefer haven’t been canned.

But whatever the case . . . being a good well liked individual does not make you a good coach.

It has nothing to do with race. Clark isn’t making any moves until we get a new GM. However I disagree with thepriest when he says that Herm isn’t a good coach on any level. He is an excellent secondary coach, and if he wants to continue being a head coach, I think he would be an excellent college coach. Kinda reminds me of Pete Carroll (except Carroll was never that bad with clock management). Just my opinion though.

would him being black help him keep his job ? It’s because Clark understands trying to build through the draft takes time. I think he gets another year.

it’s clearly a conspiracy intended to keep the white man down. I mean in a league where 65-67% of the players are black, black people make up a hefty 0% of owners, a bigger 13% of all GMs and a even more massive 22% of head coaches. I mean when Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy were playing for the Superbowl a few years back, I mean that was just because the NFL decided that it needed to black coaches to play each other in the Superbowl, the Colts and the Bears clearly weren’t the best teams they we just filling the quotas. Or the Giants team that Jerry Reese built as a GM and subsuquently won the SuperBowl, it’s obvious to anyone with a pulse that the teams they beat clearly just laid down in order to let the black guy take it. I mean Herm’s hiring couldn’t have been based on the fact that he was qualified (what black person really is anyway???) to be a HC. I mean look how the Jets fans react to him, they are usually so loving and supportive, second only to the Eagles and the Giants. You know that white coaches never keep thier jobs after consecutive losing seasons as a matter of fact I can’t remember the last white coach who had a losing year or a year where they didn’t make the playoffs. The bottom line is this……. Black Men have to have White Man lead them. Herman Edwards is just a result of the black power structure in the upper echelons of the NFL flexing its collective muscle to keep him in power. See the look of certainty he has in his eyes? He’s a man who knows he’s coming back next year.

Effectively ran our best player into the ground (although LJ is also running himself into the ground)

Tony Gonzalez is our best player…

I’d like to axe him what he thinks will make a difference between this year and next.

Doing the same thing he did this year isn’t going to work. If he is going to stick around, some things are going to have to change. His strategies don’t seem to be effective – whether it’s going soft on the players during training camp and the bye week. His “low scoring, posession” type game strategy.

Of course, if you were to axe him, I’m sure he’d just ice-skate around a real answer and give you the normal cliche answers we got all year – we’re young, we’re injured… yada… yada…
