Really? hmm...the guy has been a head coach in this league for less than a decade and hasn't been with one team long enough to build his program. No body knows what Herm could do with a long tenure at one team.
Herm has gone to the playoffs more than half the time he's been a head coach..i like that in a coach. But, that's just me.
I'd rather have Herm, a young defensive minded coach who's potential hasn't been realized than to go thru another coaching change for some guy like Bill Cower, who was with the Steelers for 2 decades and took them to only 2 Super Bowls and only one SB win.
Umm, i'd like to see what Herm's ceiling as a coach is before we bring in someone who will get us to a Super Bowl in 2017 and win us one in 2027. But, again, that's just me. Herm may be able to do it before then. But it might require patience
By the way...that SB win was AFTER they took a QB in the first round.
Bill Cower didn't win a Super Bowl until he drafted a QB in the first round. Just a fun little fact.
But, impatient fans who don't appreciate going to the playoffs since '06, a rebuilt, young, potential laden defense call for Damon Huard to start at the beginning of the season and call for the coach's head.
Impatient people generally don't like to wait. Letting a 3rd round QB mature during this season probably would've meant "waiting" for wins until next season. But, turns out, we're still having to wait with Huard.
Also, fans calling for Herm's head don't see all the things he's done since he's been here. Just because it isn't on the offensive side of the ball, doesn't make him a bad coach. The guy can only do so much in one season.
He's built what COULD be a dominant defense. Now, he can work on the offensive side of the ball. But, he IS defensive minded coach, so obviously, that was his priority. Plus, it's not like the offense needed THAT much attention when he got here. He kept most of the previous offensive staff. He hasn't done much to the offense. Which is the problem.
By the way, no one knows what kind of head coach Saunders is going to be either. That would've taken patience too.
Someone was talking about Al Saunders as head coach rather than Herm Edwards. I keep forgetting he did SO much for the offensive jugernaut that IS the Washington Redskins. It would have been just as tough to bear with Saunders as a head coach as it is Edwards.
But, what are you gonna do?
...drinking a beer.
