Because of the stir caused by this article from Warpaint Illustrated, I decided to go check out some San Diego State message boards to see what their reaction is to the pretty wild speculation IMO about Herm Edwards possibly coaching at San Diego State next season. SDSU is Herm's alma mater and they recently fired their head football coach.
You guys are going to get a kick out this. Not because they're "wrong" so much as you have to look at it from the perspective of a mid level school getting an NFL coach to come to their team. Then, it's pretty damn funny.
From AztecTalk.org, which I'm going to assume is the most visited SDSU sports site.
I'd be happy with Bowden, but Herm is THE SAVIOR. He is meant for the college game and meant for SDSU.And in response to that humdinger from adfrank:
TOTALLY AGREE! My #1 pick.
Oh there's more.
to be honest, I'm astounded he's not the #1 pick for more people on here... Intense, disciplined, could walk into ANY living room ANYWHERE and command an ear of any recruit and family. Dude would bring instant energy to the community and would bust some asses around here. I doubt we would hear the word "soft" when talking about our team ANYMORE.And one more:
I've never heard of an NFL head coach going from the pros to the non bcs. I don't think it's ever happened nor will it.
Kid probably nailed it with that last one although Herm is a bit of an odd duck. I could see him coaching at SDSU sometime in the distant future and really loving it. He's seems to be the type of guy who has a pretty good perspective on life.
I registered for this site but I need approval before I can post. I'm going to invite the SDSU fans over here to discuss Herm. I think it would be very interesting exercise.
Well put.Q: Your alma mater, San Diego State, has a head coaching opening and your name pops up. Do you have any comment?
Edwards: "I’ve got a college team right now and I’m coaching it."

Well let him go then. We will even pay his first year salary!
What a deal.

Ignorance is bliss. Let's give them a chance to wake up by letting them take Harm.

He'd be better as a college coach
College football is all about recruiting and rah-rah motivating, Herm would be way better at that than he is at pro coaching. He’s a perfect fit for SD state, it’d be best for everyone if he’d go there.
Now where would be the perfect place for Peterson to go? Anywhere else = win for KC.

What's wrong with Jeff Webb?
Nice article Chris, glad you found our SDSU site. I have a couple KC friends who have offered me $20 to throw around my influence to get SDSU to hire Herm, but I don’t think I have that kind of pull.
Herm has definitely had a mixed tenure as an NFL HC, but I think the consensus is that he might be much better-suited to being a HC in the college game. He wouldn’t be my first choice, but I think he could do a decent job. Maybe after Terry Bowden or Dirk Koetter take us to a few bowl games then take off for a BCS school… then we might hire Herm.
So you get to keep for about 4 more years…!
G’luck with the rest of the season.

There's nothing wrong with Jeff Webb
There just is with whomever drafted him. He’s not an NFL caliber player (I said the same thing about Tyler Thigpen though) and he’s virtually non-existent in our receiving corps. In short he’s a waste of a roster spot

I will help him pack...
…drive the whole family to SD, buy him dinner and help Lanier63 unload the truck.
