Herm was the one who scored the TD on that "miracle in the meadowlands" game. That was between the NY Giants and Philadelphia Eagles. About 20 seconds left in the game, Giants were up by five, had the ball deep in their own territory, Eagles out of timeouts, Giants only needed to run out clock. Giants QB Dan Pzarcic botched a handoff to RB fumbled, and Herm, Eagles defensive back at the time, recovered fumbled handoff and scored TD. Eagles won by 2. That play promted "victory formation"
1) It's funny how ex-Jets coaches are all considered royalty, even though they didn't do much while they were there. Edwards, Mangini, and Carroll had sub-.500 records by the time they were fired, and Parcells only won ONE playoff game.
2) Herm Edwards has made a career out of yelling and talking down to people. His schtick is fucking annoying. Dude talks to someone like they're 5 years old and then hits them with the "you dumbass" stare. Why aren't you still coaching then, know-it-all?
@sivret20 yea that's a really good one too...i think i agree with Jaime4City that one should be in there instead of the Kellen Winslow one its wayyyy funnier...i had forgot about that one when i posted that comment
@ajbahus yea that is definitely a good one...me and a friend of mine were watching that live when it happened last year and we nearly fell out of our chairs laughing....he just snapped LMAO
what I hate about Professional Sports is that a lot of Professional Sports owners see and view their Sports teams as a Business Entity, not a Sports team, they care about money only, which is why owners like Donald Sterling and William Clay Ford are around, also Mike Brown of the Bengals
You play to win the game! Really?! I thought you played just for fun. Looks like my dad was wrong when he said "It's only a game. As long as you have fun playing it"
Lol I was told to watch this even tho I hate sports, I was told to watch this becuz I dnt Care about winning in video games, I play theme to have fun.(Dislike Button)
Might not been the greatest coach, but a great motivator he gets my nod and as a competitor like me I'll endure pain to play hard for a coach like that.
@zimmcat: That's obvious. You don't play to win. You play to be the best. If you are the best, you will win. You ask any of the great coaches of any sport and they'll tell you that. Joe Paterno, John Wooden, Bill Walsh. Strive for excellence, not for wins. When you reach excellence, you will win.
One thing for sure is that only teams that play football are the teams that are winning cause u are at ease to have fun but if u lose 1 or more games your job seems to be on the hot seat as a coach so the word play the game shouldn't even be used because lets be real if every game lost is like a strike on your resume then it becomes not fun but very serious..
You play to win the game but Herm has to be the worst NFL head coach I ever saw, other than maybe Rich Kotite or Dave Campo. Couldn't figure out how to win to save his life.
@artheriford yea tht exactly why in 2002 when the Jets were 2-5 and they finished 9-7 and won the AFC East division title .....pretty sure he can figure out how to win and hes not the worst coach
They barely got into the playoffs that year because they owned the tie-breaker wtih Miami and New England. His career record as a head coach is 54-74. He is a good evaluator of DB talent and that is it. He is a bad head coach.
@artheriford He Is a good defesive coordinator, which is what he did with the buccaners and made them a powerhouse defense. But as a head coach he was horrible, the two seasons under the jets, they barely made the playoffs in 2002 and 2004, cause they started 5-0 and finished 10-6. Not to go into the playoffs.
Can't blame Singletary. Alex F***ed up and clements wouldn't get down. alex needs to go to the practice squad and clements needs to be put in a triangle choke hold!..Alex WOW. Clements WHY? Singletary had these guys prepared like always! Alex Smith, the Falcons are who we thought they were, and thats why we took the damn field. If you wanna crown them, then crown there ass, but they are who we thought they were, and you let them off the hook!
@OMGWTFShizznat i remember . they was like 1 win that season and there qb went out early in the season. and they asked if they was throwing games to get teh #1 pick in the draft. He lost his freakin mind, hes not worried about a god damn draft pick. Hes trying to win ballgames like a professional. Those losses are going on his resume. and his job is always on the line... he flipped and it was brilliant
