First: Herman Edwards was a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE, HC in every area that matters. His team did not get up for big games (playoff or division) and he had no clue at all how to "manage" a game.

He had no ability to respond immediately to how the defense or offense ways playing. Complete disconnect in game. Horrible clock management (not just here but in NY as well.) Horrible "feel" for the game or what was or wasn't the right decision at the time.

That said, he's an excellent scout of talent. Always has been. He should be hired by someone right now. He's as ****ing far off the ranch as anyone can be but he knows players and knows how to find them.

I'd pay him top dollar to be our head of scouting (is that even a position? I'm not sure. But I'd make him the Tzar of that. You're the Tzar of scouting.)

I hate Herm for destroying one of the best offenses in the history of the NFL.

At that point it was rotten and full of teh 'mites and he just lit it on fire.

And he hired the best guys to fix it. He spent good money on it. He just woke up one day and realized he was Corey Haim...

Herm didn't destroy it. Injuries and age leading to the end of Trent Green, Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson, Willie Roaf, and Will Shields, among others destroyed it.

that illegal hit on Gaither still fires me up.
Can't believe there wasn't a call; and or a fine.

if that shit happened to Manning or Brady there would probably be a flag, fine, and suspension for trying to kill the NFL's Golden Goose.

I disagree. Early on in one of his first interviews he was talking about the "Circus Offense" and he wanted it to be HERM'S team, not Dick Vermeils. He DID destroy the offense, without question.

Clearly, this is worth arguing...

This. Its death came in the preseason that year when Solari tried to pass to score a TD as time was running out of the first half and the ball was intercepted. The Chiefs came out in the second half and were a total run run pass offense and settled for field goals. KC ended up winning that game barely, and Herms mind was made up. He had proved his point to himself at least. He publicly called out Solari for his play calling afterwards saying things lime Solari was new and would get better...The Offense was never the same after that. Never.
