Jets and Chiefs reach agreement for Coach Edwards

The Chiefs send a 2006 4th rounder for the rights to Herman Edwards.

If I were a Jet fan, I'd have mixed emotions about this. Edwards isn't the best coach in the league, and he clearly had injury problems this year. Four and twelve is 4-12, though.

They could stand to lose one or both of their coordinators too if they don't move quickly to promote one of them.

I'd be ticked if I was a Jets fan. Herm is a quality coach who was delt a crappy hand this year with injuries. Plus the Jets have had alot of turnover at head coach in recent years, as we know that's never a good thing.

I think Edwards is a great coach, actually. This year was all injury-driven, and if you take this year's record out, his remaining record is pretty solid (especially having to deal with the Patriots in the same division).

Big mistake by the Jets. That franchise is lost.

Jets fans seem to loathe Edwards, though.

Come to think of it, Jets fans seem to loathe everyone unless they're in the playoffs.

matty.what would you base your statement that edwards is a quality coach on?i think he is on par with brian billick of the the ravens.i think both are very OVER RATED as coaches.the jets have stuck with pennington way too long,just like boller in baltimore.neither one of these guys are nfl qbacks.the jets have underachieved even with the free pass this year because of all the injuries

Well for starters his career record is 37-32, prior to this injury filled disaster it was 33-20. And he guided the Jets to the playoffs in 3 of his 5 years.

I'm not sure how you can blame him for Pennington, prior to his injury he was one of the better QBs in the league. I think the only thing they did wrong with him was rush him back too soon.

:lol: Ahhh, I think that is sufficient evidence...playoffs 3 out of 5 years.

Not to mention there has been some roster turnover.

Coles (gone and back)
Thomas (departed)
Hall (departed)
Moss (departed)
Pennington (oft injured and ineffective)
LaMont Jordan (Raiders)

......and probably a few others.

Pennington, when healthy, is better than the majority of the starters in the league. Edwards is a winning coach who sticks up for, and bonds with his players. Please explain how the Jets have underachieved, when they've made the playoffs three out of the last five years.

we will have to disagree about pennington becuse i dont think he has ever had the arm strngth to be a quality qb in this league.i would be suprised if is able to come back with his injury
