The NY media needs to back off Herm
I know that Herm didn't learn from Marty Schottenheimer's mistake from a week earlier that helped the Jets advance.
I know that the TO that Pennington burned in the first half was crucial in the end.
However, any talk of how Herman Edwards somehow being on the hot seat once Doug Brien and Paul Hackett are let go as this year's scapegoats has got to stop.
Herman Edwards is a darn good football coach. He gets his team to play hard week in and week out. He also is a good person.
Plus, he's won with a team that isn't exactly the most talented bunch in the world.
I'm looking at the roster of the Jets and looking at what they did this season, and I'm wondering why Herm is getting so much heat. This team simply is not that talented.
They've got talent in spots. However, they also are not as talented on the whole as teams like Pittsburgh, New England, and Philadelphia.
And when you factor in that the Jets starting QB was playing hurt and the team's best defensive player refused to play hurt, I'm wondering why hanging really tough on the road and against the best team in the NFL this season was somehow a horrible loss. And more to the point, a bad coaching job.
The loss stings. However, I find it hard to believe that too many coaches could have taken that team and gotten them to that point.
Herm Edwards is a darn good football coach. And he should remain with the Jets for a very long time.
Heck, check out his counterpart on Saturday. Bill Cowher was 6-10 last season and many people were calling for his job. Instead, Cowher got an extension. Much to the chagrin of many in and around Pittsburgh.
And that move seems to have worked out for the Steelers.
Besides, if the Jets were to replace Edwards in the near future, who's to say that his replacement would be any better than some of the guys that have preceded him with the Jets like Pete Carroll and Rich Kotite?
