To me he made about the same amount of sense as the guy in the corner of the TV screen that does sign language.
Don't forget that he signed, "It's not the skill, men, it's the will!" - which means my Grandpa can suit up and run the field because he wants to. No skill necessary. Hehehe.
The Herm era is already going fuzzy for me. He brought a lot of cotton candy to the table during his press conferences and it tasted kind of nice but melted away pretty quickly. In three or four years I'll still be remembering the Tuna but I think my memories of Herm will be lost in a Pete Carrollish way. It occurred to me the other day that Herm was the Anti-Parcells. He joked and laughed and dissembled and never found fault with anybody --- until he fired them for his mistakes. Parcells on the other hand would scrape his coaches over red hot coals if they made a mistake but he was fiercely loyal to them and rarely fired them. Herm isn't going to win a Super Bowl anywhere. He's too much of a weak-willed lightweight.
i recently went to a poultry farm to pick up a capon for my grandmother....there were all these chickens cluckin and freakin out in their cages.....i picked out the bird I wanted and as the guy reached into the cage to pull out the frantic chicken....well, I thought of the ole herminator
0-5? With our schedule being what it is, I guess that is possible. Most of the tough games are at the begining. You are a good fan though. 0-5?
It's the sign of a true fan. He didn't say he HOPED they'd go 0-5, which is an altogether different, distasteful story. It's like this: "Oh, lookee, there's light at the end of the tunnel!" "Of course. It's a locomotive." Jets fan. Simple. Hehehe.
Personally, i will miss him. He was the single greatest source of inspiration for my song parodies. I just get the feeling I won't have as much material to work with from the current regime.
R.I.P. "The Herm Edwards Library". Another gem lost in a gg crash. Man, that thread was classic. Sigh.
don't act like people on this board won't be saying how much they miss Herm if the Jets start to lose early
The only consolation with our 0-5 start will be that Herm joins us somewhere around 1-4. Then he'll pull out a one page sheet that says: "How the Chiefs Win." It will include all truths, but none of which were implemented or enforced at his country club training camp. Then, slowly, he'll leak to the press that it's all Gunther's fault on defense, and that Solari is having trouble implementing the offense in his first year as coordinator. At some point, he'll pull Trent Green and play Brodie Croyle. Then he'll get lucky when Jake Plummer goes down with a season-ending injury and Cutler can't hack it as a full-time starter. He'll narrowly miss the playoffs at 8-8 or 9-7, and consider the season a success, when in reality, the emperor has no clothes. In '07, they will have to gut the O-line and restart over across the board as his aged team requires a facelift. What he thought he was escaping in New York with a rebuilding effort will be looking him right in the face.
No, I'll be blaming Herm and disliking his legacy more if they start off 0-5 like you say. He had some good seasons with the team, and I dislike him way less than others on this board, but he left the team a shambles, and I expect it will take Mangini time to instill the kind of work ethic and bench depth Herm left withering at the vine last season. 0-5 will be more Herm's bad than Mangini's. 0-16, on the other hand...
