He went over Petersons head to hire Gailey and made the ballsy move to give Gailey license to run pistol. And yes, herm absolutely deserves credit for giving that a shot.
He could have traded for Chad Pennington and this team could have limped its way to 8-8. Instead he chose to blow the team up and build around youth. At least he tried something even if it didn't work.

I thought the draft where we got JC, Albert, Carr and Flowers was decent - Herm had a lot to do with that.
