sorry if it's posted already, but this is too much: He just pulled off his first win with Damon Huard at quarterback. Herm Edwards honors honesty. Honest. (AP) Herm Edwards honors honesty. Honest. (AP) Good for Herm Edwards. If there's anyone who knows how to pick himself up with a backup QB, it's the Chiefs head coach. Remember, he went through a passel of them in New York. Now he's on the same track in Kansas City. Edwards is a busy man, but we caught up with him for 60 Seconds. Take it away, Herm. Q: If you saw (former Giants QB) Joe Pisarcik today, what would you say to him? Edwards: How you doing? Q: What is your greatest quality? Edwards: Honesty Q: What's your worst? Edwards: I'm too trusting of people. Q: If you had one quarterback to choose for your team, any era, who would it be? Edwards: Roger Staubach. Q: Where are the tougher fans -- Philly or with the Jets? Edwards: That's a coin toss. Q: The best coach you ever played for? Edwards: Dick Vermeil. Q: The coach you most admire? Edwards: Tom Landry. Q: Motivator or coach. Which suits you? Edwards: Neither. Teacher. Q: What makes you furious? Edwards: When people don't tell the truth. Q: If you had one rule to change in today's game, what would it be? Edwards: The illegal contact rule that makes it a first down. Make it a 5-yard penalty instead because here's the problem you get into: It's third-and-15, and the quarterback rolls to the right. A cornerback illegally chucks someone away from the play (to the left), and you have an automatic first down. The crime doesn't fit what just happened.
Q: If you had one rule to change in today's game, what would it be? A: I don't like how you only have a certain amount of time before I have to make a decision. They should get rid of that. Oh and also timeouts should be like cell phone minutes and carry over to the next half. That would be great.
Q: What is clock management all about anyway? A: How should I know, I'm the head coach, its not my job to watch the clock!
THESE ARE THE REAL RESPONSES. Q: If you saw (former Giants QB) Joe Pisarcik today, what would you say to him? Edwards: Want some Cool Aid? Plenty to go around! Q: What is your greatest quality? Edwards: Being able to bullshit people, pull wool over their eyes, and convince them, along with myself, that I know what I'm doing. Q: What's your worst? Edwards: Coaching in the NFL Q: If you had one quarterback to choose for your team, any era, who would it be? Edwards: Whoever Terry Bradway says I should. Q: Where are the tougher fans -- Philly or with the Jets? Edwards: Jets- those fans saw through my bullshit after a while and recognized me for what I really was, a coach who rode into town and used an already established team to trump up his numbers, but when it was time to reorganize and run my own team, with new personnel and new strategies, they knew I didn't have a clue, as was usually evidenced by my retarded, open-mouthed stare on the sidelines on any given sunday. Q: The best coach you ever played for? Edwards: Dick Vermeil- even though he told me I shouldn't be an NFL coach today. Q: The coach you most admire? Edwards: Tom Landry, and any of the other greats- as they really had that special quality- they knew how to consistently coach NFL teams to greatness. Something I recognize I'll never be able to do- but psst, don't tell the fans in KC- I want to mooch off of this town for at least another few years, before I bail again! Q: Motivator or coach. Which suits you? Edwards: Neither. Teacher. Because with teacher, you don't have any real responsibility. If you don't want to be called a coach, people can't criticisze your coaching decisions. Q: What makes you furious? Edwards: When people actually recognize how full of shit I am and try and call me to the carpet on it. I hate it when the truth comes out! Q: If you had one rule to change in today's game, what would it be? Edwards: That even if you don't know how to coach, manage personnel, and build a winning team for years to come, they can NEVER, EVER, kick you out of the league.
Q: If you saw (former Giants QB) Joe Pisarcik today, what would you say to him? Edwards: I'm Rick James, bitch! Q: What is your greatest quality? Edwards: Well, did I ever tell you the story about the chickens.......... Q: What's your worst? Edwards: Well uhhh, I think my worst quality is uh....did I ever tell you the chicken story? Q: If you had one quarterback to choose for your team, any era, who would it be? Edwards: Well uhh you know, since uhh we play to win the game uhh, it's nice to have a QB that can throw the ball. Q: Huh? Edwards: The chicken story....it's not about Xs and Os. Q: Where are the tougher fans -- Philly or with the Jets? Edwards: Well you know it's like a tree that has bark on both sides, but no bite. But I will say that white dude with the fireman's hat is a real pain in the back of my bus. Q: The best coach you ever played for? Edwards: Dick Curl. Great name too. Q: The coach you most admire? Edwards: Marty....lots of people get on marty about marty's style of ball but Marty's style has been successful in this league for centuries and he really is the master of making 60 minutes seem like 600 minutes. Q: Motivator or coach. Which suits you? Edwards: Neither. I like to think I'm a teacher. I tell my guys, it's not always the biggest dog in the fight but the biggest fight in the dog. They go out and play hard and automatically know what I mean. Have I told you about the chicken story? Q: What makes you furious? Edwards: Scoring too quickly. How you suppose you gonna keep the woman happy if you a quick scorer? You lay there get a few pumps in and next thing you know.......oh....football, right. Really fast chickens really piss me off. Q: If you had one rule to change in today's game, what would it be? Edwards: Well uhh, there's lots of rules and rules are important. If you ain't got no rules you have chaos. The bus can't be in chaos otherwise you might drive off the road, which is like playing golf in January. Edwards: Have I ever told you about the chic..... Host: please just stop.
Q: Why do you use the word "obviously" 60 million times at each press conference? A: I like it, obviously.
You gotta laugh when he says "When people don't tell the truth"... sounds like something that Herm did an awful lot around Hempstead...
