I am very dissapointed that he would bail out. I lost a lot of respect for him. I am very dissapointed in him. I hope he does well in KC, but I am dissapointed in him. He has two years left. He should fulfill it. That's plenty of time. Herm seems to want an extension because he does not think he is paid well enough and he feels that he is worried about being fired. Also, Herm wants out because he is tired of sports radio, the NY papers, and the Jets fans for calling him out as a gameday coach. First off, NFL head coaches will always get criticized especially if a sports town is a NFL town only. That's part of life. I am not sure if things will change if Herm moves on elsewhere. Herm is going to have to deal with that too in another city so why be obessed with it. Second, what is the rush to get an extension. Why is he that insecure about his future with the Jets? I think he will stay for as long as Jets owner Woody Johnson wants him. I could see him coaching the Jets for the next 10 years so why worry about extension when he has two years to go. There is no rush. He is not getting fired anytime soon. I think he is being greedy here a little bit. All he has to do is keep working and good things will happen. Unfortunately, he is bailing out.
The Jets just don't get it. it. They let Belichick get away and now they are doing it with Herm. They dumped Pete Carroll after one year. You wonder why the Jets are the Jets forever. This franchise just does too many stupid things. Thank God I am not a fan of the Jets or I would lose my mind like I am with the Timberwolves. Somehow if Robert Kraft or any other great owner who owned the Jets, he would not have let Herm walk. Belichick and Herm were able to renege on their contracts and get away with it. How do the Jets let them get away with it? I understand that they need draft picks, but great coaches are hard to find. They blew it with Belichick and now they blew it with Herm. Shame on Jets owner Woody Johnson, who has proven he has no clue about football.
Jets fans deserve all the losing they can get. Those idiots have been bashing Herman since Day 1. I hope they are happy. This is same group of losers who did not want Belichick to coach their team. NY sports fans are so spoiled that it's sad. Now, you got those same fans turning on Joe Torre. You got those same fans who turned on Davey Johnson and Bobby Valentine. You got those same fans that turned on Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy. New York sports fans are lucky to have great coaches coaching their team. It's sad that they don't appreciate them. Giants fans at least get it. Giants fans have been good. They supported Reeves, Parcells, Fassel, and Coughlin during tough times. At least, they don't turn on them.
Herm does not look good and Jets look worse for letting Herm get away with what he is doing
