That isn't going to work.
Fucking horseshit. He was and still is, if you’ve listened to a word he has said on ESPN, absolutely fucking clueless on how you score points against a defense. Accordingly, he can’t know anything about scheming because he is openly clueless about offense.
Solaris was his fucking guy and he hated Gaileys stuff. [Reply]

Solari wasn't his guy. He was Carl Petersons.
There was talk that if he stayed one more year he would have kept going with Gaileys pistol and spread. No indication whatsoever that he hated the offense. Except because you don't like him. And I don't know what Gailey has to do with Palko. Gailey ran a college offense with the Chiefs. [Reply]

I don't think herm was ever anything more than a serviceable nfl coach. But the hate is totally overblown. What kind of caliber of coaches does a program like ASU think they're going to get? There have been much much worse nfl coaches, and there are a hell of a lot of even major college program schools who aren't any better.
If people hate herms offense, I wonder how they'd feel watching urban run the same read option over and over again. But he does just fine. [Reply]

I didn’t say shit about Palko. Where is that coming from?
Maybe Solari wasn’t his guy but he wanted what Solari put out.
I know he hated what Gailey was doing because he would go to a press conference and talk about running the ball, controlling the clock, and playing tough power football and then a day later Gailey is out there throwing passes to the QB split out wide.
You really think that if Saunders’ system (with a fuckload of power run game) is a “circus offense” that he loathed so much that a shitload of gadget plays and QB scrambles isn’t?
Come on man. I get it that you’re the last guy on the planet that doesn’t think Squirmin Herman Motherfucking Sack of Cunt Edwards is pure fraud doesn’t mean he was the least bit progressive offensively. He never said anything in any conference ever about attacking weaknesses or creating matchups. He’s too stupid to understand it. It’s reinforced by his “analysis” on ESPN. It’s always “if you’ve got a guy that can throw 40 times and not turn it over you’re going to be hard to beat”. He gives no indication as to why teams can throw it 40 times without turning it over and others can’t. He’s just too stupid to understand scheme. [Reply]

His buddy Lovie Smith isnt doing so well in the B1G [Reply]
Happy for Herm. He'll make a great college coach. Players and parents will love him. Wishing him great success. Go Herm! (Surprised he'd give up the analyst gig.) [Reply]

ESPN is about to can a bunch of people again so maybe he's just getting out before he gets axed. [Reply]
