This should be making its' way to 103.3 any minute now, so may as well ask the question.
DISCLAIMER - This is not my endorsement of Herm Edwards. Just an observation and hypothetically asking the question of what is the general thought here.
Herm was on with Jody McDonald and Brandon Tierney yesterday here in NY to talk about a myriad of NFL topics, mostly Braylon Edwards. Eventually the conversation turned to Herm getting back into coaching and he was asked what job appealed to him. The expected answer was something PC, talking about maybe a job close to his home in California, or possibly with someone he's worked with before in the past.
After some hesitation, he came right out and said he'd love to coach the Cowboys. He sees the talent here, he sees the mistakes that are constantly made and he really believes he has what it takes to correct such problems.
All this being said, Herm is NOT the smartest coach in the league's history. His problems with managing the clock are well documented, and other aspects of his gameday planning leave something to be desired.
However, one thing that can never be questioned about a Herm Edwards team is discipline and motivation. Herm's players will run through walls for him, and he does not accept screwups without accountability. He has made examples of players in the past, even some of his favorites.
So the question I ask, what is your take on someone like Herm running this team?
And yes, I know it will likely never happen.
The snippet is here at the 17:00 mark.
