Herm Edwards: Eunuch

Herm Edwards Sells Soul to Devil.

Two years ago, the Jets had one of the worst defenses in the NFL. This was capped off by a series in which the Oakland Raiders ran up the middle over twenty times in a row until they scored a Zack Crockett touchdown. Jet response: fire defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell.

Last year, the Jets had a horrendous passing game and an overall lousy and conservative offense. Yes, Curtis Martin won the rushing title, but I'd gain a few yards too if I got 35-40 carries per game. This coaching wonder was capped off when the Jets sat on the ball against Pittsburgh to force a long field goal in a difficult kicking stadium with a weak kicker. Brien missed the field goal, the Jets lost the game and the Jets drafted a kicker with their fist pick in the 2005 draft. Jet response: fire offensive coordinator Paul Hackett.

Herm has always had trouble managing the clock. Jet solution: hire a clock management coach and give Herm Edwards a contract extension.

Now that the Jets have two strong coordinators in Henderson and Heimerdinger, a clock management coach and a general manager Herm Edwards has been effectively castrated. He doesn't call plays on either side of the ball and he doesn't manage the game clock. He's basically a very highly paid cheer leader and idiot.

Jet fans everywhere can celebrate, but really, this man must have sold his soul to the devil.

  • I want his job...

    On the flip side, my team is stuck with Tom Coughlin, who's more hands-on than Michael Jackson at a boy scout camp.
