Dear Adam,

Jets Grant Herm Edwards Permission To Speak With Chiefs
New York City - The New York Jets announced today they have given Head Coach Herm Edwards permission to speak with the Kansas City Chiefs about their head coaching vacancy. The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Terry Bradway.

"We will begin interviewing head coaching candidates immediately," said Bradway. "We will comply with the guidelines set forth by the National Football League and we will conduct a thorough and complete interview process."

The Jets will receive a fourth-round draft choice from the Chiefs in 2006 as compensation.

Bad news in itself, although I wasnt a massive fan of Herm, I think he is the top half of coaches in the NFL, and I dont see them hiring someone better. The really fucked up thing is that Ive heard rumours that they are gonna appoint the Offensive Co-ordinator as Head Coach. WTF!?

Good news for Edwards. He got to ditch a team going nowhere for a team that can only going up.

With Larry Johnson, Tony Gonzalez, Trent Green and that offensive line, the Chiefs should be in good shape. If Edwards gets them to play defense, watch out.

Yeah..... good luck with that one.

No seriously, the Chiefs definitely have potential, but I think the Jets are far from a lost cause. I mean we're talking about a team that was just absolutely decimated by injury. I mean c'mon guys, Brooks freaking Bollinger? Give me a break.

That being said, probably a wise career move for Edwards.

It seems weird to me that the Jets let him go for only a 4th round draft pick. I seem to remember the Bucs having to give up a lot more to get John Gruden from the Raiders.

Bucs gave up a first round pick (among others) and like 8million for Gruden I believe.

edit: also Kc gave up a couple 2nd and 3rd round picks to get Vermeil from St. Loius, so a 4th rounder for Edwards is really suprising.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but hadn't Vermeil and Gruden both had good seasons before swapping teams? I understand that the injury to Chad Pennington was a big part of the Jets' problems this year (and last) but nonetheless, Edwards didn't have a great record at NYJ in the past couple of years, did he?

If that's the case, then perhaps his value was only that of a 4th rounder.

Also, did the Jets agree to a 4th round pick or was it imposed upon them by someone with the league? I thought I heard something on SportsCenter about that.

the Jets agreed to a 4th rounder...word is they wanted a 3rd, but KC wouldn't budge and NY gave in for just a 4th.

I am a big Jet fan.. and I am very disappointed in what Herm did to the Jets..

I mean.. wtf.. he leads a 6-10 season, followed with a 4-12 season, and left because he couldnt get an extension from the owner? C'mon! get a winning season and then ask for one! Last time we gave him an extension, it was after a losing season, but on trust! And from what I've heard, he asked for close to 5mil a yr! JEEBUS! he got a 12mil 4yr deal fomr KC.. def. wanted to go there...

And all this about being in the upper echelon of coaches, I loved Herm for his emotion and motivation.. but as an x's and o's guy.. this guy is THE worst! couldnt manage the clock or his time outs, and he hasnt had a good draft pick other than Jonathan Vilma!... I mean.. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005... Robertson, bust, Bryan Thomas, bust, Santana gone, these are FIRST rounders! cmon...

I hope we can land Mangini from the Pats.. I think he'll be a much better coach...

As for the 4th rbd pick, I think the Jets were lucky enough to get him, since its apparant that Herm didnt want to stay, and by then the Jets couldnt have brought him back.. so instead of firing him and getting nothing, a 4th round pick is good enough..

KC will see what Herm can do.. he'll give you the "Play to win the game" speech, but in the game, he'll burn 2 timeouts in the 3rd quarter.. or save them all until there's less than 30 seconds left in the game..

I hope we can keep our coordinators tho.. Herm's keeping his d-coordinator from KC.. so as long as our coordinators dont take head coaching jobs.. looks like we might keep them

Now who do the Jets draft?.. I mean, Bush, Leinart, and Young are projected to be the top 3, but from 4, its all open... and 4 is the Jets ... we need a coach to start thinking..
