Herm Edwards to be fired today

Two Chiefs assistant coaches told the Kansas City Star that they expect Herm Edwards and his staff to be fired as soon as Tuesday.

New GM Scott Pioli will want to bring in his own man, possibly Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

Please let him come to Carolina!

Lots and lots will shake upthis off season with the amount of changes. The "final four" looks strange this year compared to recent past and that has sent a rippling effect throughout the consortium of ownership.

Why weren't we one of those newcomers?

Why didn't we make it back?

There is no telling what is going to happen not only with coaches and their staffs but even the key players they developed relationships with. Lots of news this summer. Yeah for ESPN.

Unlike most of these boneheaded threads where people suggest people that would never come here, Herm actually COULD come here. Him and Fox are very tight.

I mean, he practically had Lucas kicked off the team in '05 for criticizing how the Herm Edwards-coached Jets laid an egg against us and quit.

OK, you guys are no help, so I looked it up.

He's never been anything more than a defensive backs coach before becoming a head coach, which he has not done well at.

This season, his defense was 31st in the league...check it out before we all jump on the Herm-Wagon.

Herm was a player. That demands instant respect from the players and then he is a great motivator as well.

As a head coach in KC Edwards has had a lot of issues to deal with on his team.

But any man who's opinion is -- YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME-

Can be my DC any day of the week.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
