Bob Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hey, there's a new offensive coordinator, you know. These things take time. Don't you be criticizing Hermie, damn you. DON'T YOU DARE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hermie's having the bus serviced as we speak. If I were Dick Curl or Mike Westoff, I'd have my resume ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Henderson is bus-proof. Dinger gets one year of immunity. SOMEBODY will be Cottrelled, though. Count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 So the head coach shouldn't try to make the team better. Interesting. Parcells is considered to be the best coach we ever had. He threw plenty of people under the bus. Remember Charlie losing play calling duties? It is called being held accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Jets & Ham Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Are the Jets ready? Or will we be hearing the word "gel" alot in September? We already heard an elusion {illusion?} to the word "Gel", though Herm didn't actually say the word When asked last nite if the offense is ready to GO, Herm responded ... "Obviously the offense will be better in Week 8" In other words, the offense still needs time to Gel Now that may be true ... in fact, I have no doubt that it IS true ... but what do you gain by saying it out loud, other than to give yourself {and the players} an excuse to fail? I mean, that doesn't exactly inspire confidence ... Uh, we'll be better by mid-season And don't make me have to post "Patton" to draw a contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Every year, I see some of you same doomers say that the Jets will not win more than 6 or 7 games with HE at the helm, so why should you change course now?

Bob Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 No, you haven't. I do predict, however, that Hermie will get less than the best from a very talented team, lose at least two games with idiotic coaching decisions, get embarrassed by Belichick again and preside over, at best, an early exit from the playoffs.

Bob, in that case, I apologize for attributing you to something you did not say. I thought you were in that boat, too. Lay this out for me if you will: State in terms of # of wins where you feel the talent resides on this club with a "mediocre" coach State in terms of wins where you feel the talent resided on this club with a "very good" coach State in terms of wins where yo feel the talent resides on this club with Herm. And, finally, what coach that you see available at the end of teh year, woudl you like to replace Herm with.

What do you care about how press conferences sound? Or, are you one of those guys that got all puffy chested when Parcells lashed out at a reporter with his machisimo. Is that your conception of a coach. With me-It is pure w's and l's and a comparison to where that is with talent. I could care less if he speaks lebanese.

Bob Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Herm is a mediocre coach, not an awful one, so those numbers are the same, 8-10 wins. Belichick would get at least 13 wins out of this squad. I'd like to see Hermie fired and Henderson promoted. Point taken on the conferences, but he could at least give some actual information if he's going to hold the damned things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomShane Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Herman is a nitwit. He's shielded himself with good coordinators. If the Jets fail, we'll hear all about how the new offense didn't take, yadda yadda yadda. If the Jets succeed, Herm will be a matinee idol. That's the way it works here.

LionelRichie Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I'd like to see Hermie fired and Henderson promoted. Why? the team as a whole would be worse b/c the defense excels with hendu running it full-time. why take away a strength? i watched a lot of herm on tv this year and truly believe that all his preaching isn't jive; that really is the way herm is, it is not an act. the jets are organized, well run, well disciplined, and prepared - as much as any team in the league. herm knows much more about football than people on this board give him credit for and far more than any of the people on this board. you knock him for his lack of football knowledge but my guess is that at least on the defensive side of the ball herm could call the plays or coach any position on the field. just because he isn't an overbearing micro-manager he is somehow a lousy coach?
