The guy seems like he would be a FANTASTIC defensive coordinator to me. But I just don't understand what he's ever done to make anyone believe that he can maintain a consistent football team, let alone navigate the playoffs and deliver a championship.

The only explanation for someone defending Edwards at this point is wishful thinking. You have to be a blind homer to think that he has the capacity to lead a team.
His entire persona is bull. 1st he comes off with "you play to win the game" like it's actually his philosophy. Then you hear him consistantly in his press conferences saying "if you can keep it to a one score game you always have a chance to win"
The two are a contradiction in terms. The latter is the one he subscribes to. Which means he doesn't have the mentality to build a team to win, but instead one not to lose. Herm definately plays "not to lose the game". It's a defensive mentality.
Personally, I would coach a team like we were 2 scores down from the kickoff and not let my foot off the throttle until the game was over. I would play to win the game.
Not many have faith in Edwards. It could be better described as hope. Either way, the feeling is pretty empty on Sundays.
I have zero faith in him.
