Last year against Pittsburgh he blew the game by not being more aggressive trying to get more yards for his kicker. And this came a week after Marty Schottenheimer handed him a gift with the same play not to lose strategy.
That might have been the Jets one chance, now that Pennington's hurt and Martin is old.
I bet we'll see KC in the playoffs next year, and we'll see Herm do something dumb to blow it for them.
The Jets have enough problems on the field that if they can get rid of a mediocre head coach for draft picks, they gotta go for it.
ReplyDeleteSeparate note - Herm asked for a raise two years ago and got one. Now he asks for another raise after a 4-12 season. Am I missing something?
As a Jets lover, my comment is good bye, but not good riddance. I dont think he gets quite the credit he should - this team has as bad a history of any team, yet Herm really instilled a sense that they could beat anyone. No, he's not Belicheck or even Nick Saban, but not every coach is a terrific motivator and terrific xs and os coach. I dont think he ever will win a conference title. He's the turkey sandwich of coaches - he's never going to be all that impressive, but it's never going to be awful. If someone wants to give a high pick for him, it's their problem. Now if I'm the Jets, i go get a smart offensive coach (Jim Fassell anyone?)
ReplyDeleteBring back Coach Walton....
