    I was a newbie on this board when this happened:



    Who could have possibly imagined the season turnaround after this?

    As an editor at a sports network back then... I was churning out content for affiliates across the country.

    I had to see & hear that Herm clip so often it was haunting me in my sleep... :confused:

    Say what you will about Herman Edwards but he was always good for a crazy quote.

    "The job of the offense is not to score points. The job of the defense is not to stop the other team from scoring points." - Herman Edwards

    I'm going to butcher this one, but my all-time favorite Herm moments was going into a huge game at Miami. Someone from the press asked Herm what he thought the key to the game was.

    "The Key to this game is the hot dog vendors. If I can hear the hot dog vendors from the sidelines in the third quarter, I know we are doing well"

    Again, I reconstructed the quote form memory.
