This where Carl's hard-ass negotiating tactics could be beneficial.

I agree. It makes too much sense, IMO.

I think he's playing it right, so far. He's walked the Jets out on a limb. Everyone now knows they're willing to cut Herm loose. They gonna keep him around now? In New York? That'll be fun.

They either take Carl's lower price or they fire Herm and they get nothing in return.

Carl's going to call their bluff. They can't take Herm back now that it's clear they are looking to get rid of him, and are lining up interviews with others.

Carl's going to tell them where to go, and they'll have to fire him, then we can get him for free.

Hey, a mediocre coach for free is better than paying with picks for him.

Does anyone on this board think Carl isn't a bastard in negotiations? I have no doubt he'll wear down whoever he is negotiating with except Nick Saban.

ROFL

Agreed. I hope he's a dick to the nth degree.

Here's to CP fng this thing up...........in a good way!

He's wearing down Terry Bradway who just happens to be a Carl trainee. Petro had several comments about this and indicated that we have all of the power in this situation because our worst case scenario if this drags out involves us hiring someone else. The Jets would be stuck with Edwards who they aparently don't want anyway.

If Herm is who Carl wants and it's not the worst possible choice (not even close IMO) then I'm glad he's doing everything possible to get him at the price that he wants. I'm betting that we're going to lose a pick or two but a 4th and a 5th isn't horrible if that's what it ends of being. I think that we have an extra 5th rounder anyway.

Bradway is going have nightmares after this is all said and done.

Good news...
 

I wouldn't mind having Herm as long as no picks were sent anywhere.

He needs all the help he can get.

I agree we have them by the balls.

And I hope Bradway let's pride get the better of him and he keeps Herm.

CP may just save himself from himself.

I doubt they even started.

I agree. This article smells of CYA after running with a bogus story yesterday.

I assume you want yourself as HC? :)

Seriously though, who would be your #1 choice.

agreed, if this falls through, I have a feeling right now similar to just avoiding a car wreck.

I would rather be DC than HC...
