Another Hermie quote that speaks volumes

[Mr. Laz]

first it was the scoring alot isn't real football it's Arena Ball.


then Herm comments about the illegal motion penalty that nullified a touchdown.

=====================
"We didn't let (Jason Dunn)get set before we went in motion," Coach Herm Edwards said. "That's what happens when you run all those shifts and motions. You have to be in tune."
=====================


yep herm .... when you run all dem dere fancy,smancy offensive plays it just means trouble.



seriously ...... instead of blaming the shifts, why don't you blame yourself for not having the team prepared to handle a pro level offense.

it's becoming increasely clear that Herm didn't want Trent Green, didn't want all the shifts and motions ...... basically just didn't want any part of the league's #1 offense that he inherited.



offense is teh debbil!!

Without a doubt, Herm has been promoted beyond his level of competence. That's all there is to it.

4 playoffs in 6 years.

THat's at least competent.

Sometimes I wonder if he says these things just to yank everyone's chains, to play off his reputation for being hostile toward/ignorant of offensive football. I mean, he can't be that stupid, can he?

But the more I watch, the more convinced I am that that reputation is duly earned.

And it's funny how he said he wasn't going to change the offense. Remember that?

Exact opposite happened.

What did he say exactly? Just that when you have a lot of shifts and motions (and we motioned on virtually every play) - you need to be in tune. That is precisely true.

Herm's teams have been top 10 in fewest penalties in every year (possibly every year but one) of his 6 years of coaching. But he's incompetent.

He's squeaked in twice at 9-7 and has never won more than 10. And he is under .500 W/L and getting worse all the time.

Herm sucks so much, i dedicate my username to his coaching philosophy.

[MGRS13]

I don't Boo players when they are announced coming out of the tunnel at the stadium, I just don't clap for them, i.e. Warfield Hicks and never once did I clap for Dick when he was announced. But is it ok to BOO Herm when he comes out of the tunnel on sunday? I mean he does deserve it doesn't he?

[Chiefnj2]

That's the risk you run when you go all vanilla with no motion in preseason.

I just want to see him take some ownership for any aspect of the game. It's his responsibility to get the team prepared but every week he has an excuse deflecting blame.

Please - early year 2 of a rebuilding program. You would have fired Belichick in Cleveland and Dungy in Tampa. Some people never learn. We'll have Brodie within a month - possibly even this weekend.
