Dude, that is a TOTAL load of BS. The team was a sinking ship before Herm got there. Don't act like Herm was the one who brought them there. The team hit rock bottom because between 1995 and 2007, Carl Peterson was arguably the worst drafter in the NFL. And they had the oldest roster in the NFL. And to top it all off, they made "band aid" moves for 5 years, which put them in one of the worst cap situations in the NFL.
But by all means, let's blame that on the head coach. Nevermind that the head coach was screaming up and down to tear that team apart and rebuild while our stubborn GM insisted on forcing Herm to play veterans. And yes, it's widely believed that it was Herm who forced Clark Hunt to let him blow the team up. And thank god he did.
