I'd still question his coaching methods. Despite the 'plans' he has for this team, the fact is that his teams CLEARLY are not ready to compete when week one rolls around. That's on him. The game or 2 lead he routinely gives the rest of the league could mean the difference between a road wildcard game or a bye with a home game.

Now, back to reality....

He is too easily influenced by Carl to do what he thinks is necessary for this ball club. He has repeatedly mentioned he is trying to build to something and, I don't care what he says, he wants to start Croyle but it was obvious to everyone who watched Hard Knocks that Peterson is too afraid of taking a step backward.

On top of ALL that....The man mismanages a game horribly. Don't tell me that every head coach gets second guessed. I don't see Belichick, Fisher, Shanahan, Holmgren routinely mismanaging the clock or situation. If you'd like, I could point to at LEAST 3 obvious terrible stategic calls yesterday. Now maybe some of that is on Solari and other assistants, but the buck stops with Herm.
