BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Can someone explain to me why the Chiefs just didnt...you know...wait until Edwards got fired from the Jets this offseason? Good move by the Jets, got an extra 4th rounder for someone they were going to fire anyways.
Billsjunkie Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Actually the Jets were not going to fire him. Thats a known fact.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Reaaallly? Because I heard the NFL Countdown crew just last week talking about how the Jets were clearly going to fire Edwards and he would more than likely make his way to KC. I think about halfway through this season it was pretty apparent he was gone. I think the Jets just tried to downplay everything in order to snooker a draft pick out of KC. It worked. But I dont think there was a chance in hell that the Jets were seriously considering keeping Edwards if they couldnt work out a trade with KC. That would have been like if we kept Williams for a 4th season, the fans would have turned into the proverbial angry mob. Jets fans definitely were hating on Edwards big time this season.
Billsjunkie Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Um ESPN also said that Marv was not going to be a GM but a consultant. They have almost zero credibility with me now. According to the NY papers....Herm was going to stay on. All the Jets fans I know wanted Herm back. They blamed it on running with a 3rd string QB and no Curtis Martin. I tend to agree with them.
Tux of Borg Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Hopefully his QB can stay healthy for an entire season in KC.
OnTheRocks Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 from what i have heard....the Jets weren't going to fire Herm.....but they also were not going to extend him either.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 If he were fired by the Jets, at the least the price for him would have gone up due to the competition. And he may have instead signed with another team.

Good move by the Jets, got an extra 4th rounder for someone they were going to fire anyways. 557095[/snapback] I don't really understand that either. Competition wouldn't have been a huge factor because Herm is friends w/ Peterson and wanted to go to KC as long as the $ was there; and it's probably the most attractive job on the market anyways. And the thought of giving up draft picks for Herman Edwards is hard to comprehend. I don't see it as necessarily a good move for the Jets though. No coveted coach like Ferentz is going to want to inherit their salary cap mess, so they're stuck with Hemreindinger or Haslett - not an upgrade IMO. To me this works out badly for both teams, which is fine by me.
Rico Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Only a 4th rounder? What a slap in the face to Edwards.
Ramius Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I still want to know when the NFL started allowing coaches for draft picks trades again. After the gruden trade, they outlawed them.
Kevbeau Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 FWIW Didn't see it on the board, but ESPN is reporting the Vikes have hired Brad Childress as their new HC.
Buftex Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Mike Mularkey, pending whoever becomes the next Jets coach, just became the worst HC in the AFC East!
