Herm Wants To Be A Defensive Backs Coach
January 24th, 2009There is no NFL reporter who gets more scoops than Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com. Even when he’s not trying he gets scoops he comes up with a gem.
Sure, Adam Schefter of NFL.com breaks all sorts of stories but remember he’s an employee of the NFL front office so he’s being fed 95 percent of his “scoops.” Still, Schefter is solid.
But in Glazer’s story about Kansas City coach Herm Edwards being fired yesterday, Glazer noted that if Edwards returns to the NFL sidelines it will only be as a head coach or a defensive backs coach.
“I’m going to take until after the weekend to decide what I want to do next. I need to talk to my wife and see which direction I want to go.”
Edwards said he will decide between taking time off, doing TV, and being a defensive backs coach, a job he truly enjoyed before becoming head coach of the New York Jets. Edwards said he does not want to be a defensive coordinator.
This warms Joe’s heart. Joe has made so secret of his mancrush for Herm. Even when WDAE-AM’s Steve Duemig informed Raheem the Dream of Edwards’ firing live on the air yesterday. The Dream said he would call Herm.
Joe only hopes that phone call included a job offer.
