However I do want Carl/Herm and co gone after this year. It really would be a good team for someone to take over. The team is full of young guys, a lot of them will have some experience after this year and the new organization should have high draft picks to work with and a newly remodeled facilities. :)

Truthfullness....

He's a fraud that's being exposed now. one of his biggest supporters and staunchest defenders was htismaqe. what happened to him?

I have to admit, you were right. You knew. I feel so stupid.

So, who's coaching the Jets next year? :evil:

I don't know why anyone thinks he's:

A good judge of talent.(I give Kucharich(sp) most of the praise for this recent draft)

A good defensive mind

A good head coach

There is absolutely 0 proof to support any of these claims.

I think hes a pretty average drafter.

Sounds like a bunch of hypocrites to me.

Well ... you have a point, Mr. RustShack. As for me (and I think most Planeteers), I was and remain fully prepared for losses ... even embarrassing ones. You're quite right that inconsistency will be the hallmark of a team loaded with young players. There are only two things I want to see; The first is improvement in a particular area week to week. It could be the DBs, the LBs, the Oline, the WRs, whatever. I expect it to be inconsistent - in other words, the DBs might look better one week and the RBs the next - I just look for some aspect of the team to improve. The second thing I want is that they never, ever, ever quit. I want to see them fight and scrap and gouge and kick until the final click of the clock ... even when they're losing.

When neither one of those things happen, you have a problem - and it's not necessarily with the players. Last year, for example, we had games in which several of the players seemed to quit on Herm. I think we saw a little of that in Carolina, as well. That's troubling.

I think about this, too; We've had a problem defensing the run for a long time. Plenty of time, in my view, for Herm and Gunther to address the issue. There's only so much "they didn't play their gaps properly" that you can stomach before you realize that, if they aren't playing their gaps, the coaches need to teach them how. Stuff like that bothers me.

The Jets have to win the next 3 games. then we'll see how this play's out.

How'd you like that washed up old man? :evil:

True, but come on....the guy is in his 3rd year now. At some point you have to stop blaming everything on the previous administration.

Think about where the team was at in DV's 3rd year..

Im thankful to Herm for cleaning out the trash of older vets, but we have yet to see any sort of "real" improvement overall.

So far, that 2006 draft looks like a huge disappointment.

There are a lot of us who were right. D2112 was the oracle that allowed us to see behind the curtain. But anyone who was a fan when Marty was here knew what we were getting.

You're enjoying the season, aren't you?

I have to admit, it must be kind of cool. Glad I got Coles on my fantasy team.

Favre is great at going through his progressions. those TD passes he threw against Arizona were the 2nd, 3rd and 4th receivers he looked at. it's amazing when you go from pathetic to that at QB overnight.

Sorry TJ I don't know anyone on here that thinks Herm can win a SB.

sure, but even so, he's not motivating the players and that's the real sign of a good leader/coach - and the team is only getting worse

So WPI is just a side job? You are actually an NFL player? Yet you still can't get laid?

after the playoff game in Indy, I knew Herm hadn't evolved, and this was not going to end well because the team was crumbling and he and Carl weren't good enough in the draft to fix it.

i think you are a ****ing tard.
