To me, this hurts the Pats. One of the best advantages the Pats have had over the last few years is coaching. between Wandstead, and herm, and Mularcky, it was always comical seeing what the AFC east had rooming the sidelines. Now Wandstead is gone, and Herm, and Mularcky, who knows with Levy taking over.

I think the Jets did well, by getting anything for him, lets hope they replace him with a Norv Turner type, instead of a Saban type.

KC, overspending again.

The jesters should have had to give a pick to the Chiefs to take him

It likely hurts us although it looks like a long road back for the jesters with their cap situation and best players aging (or hurt, Pennington).

Why does it hurt us? We have the best coach in football, IMHO. I have confidence that BB can coach against anybody. This doesn't concern me in the least. If anything, Herm may be going to a better situation.

No doubt. But just like we had more of an advantage with Belichick vs. Wannstadt than we do with Belichick vs. Saban, the Belichick vs. Herm advantage was probably bigger than what we'll end up with.

As long as Bradway is the GM, then I will not be worrying about what the Jets do. They still have Pennington as their QB and they haven't found an adequate back-up for Martin, though Houston could be. Also, they haven't resolved the issue with Abraham and they are in some serious cap trouble for next season.

I'm surprised KC gave up anything given that Herm leaving for whatever reason was just about guaranteed at this point.

Hopefully he'll take Donnie Henderson with him (or he'll get the Saints job).

I think Herm will do well in KC just because Vermeil did well and they both have similar attitudes. I do believe the Jets were lucky to get anything for him considering he basically lost the team midseason.

I think this may be another step to make the AFCeast a tougher division than this year though. Saban is turning the Dolphins around to being only one game out of playoff contention with lousy personnel. Given another year with bringing in his type of players, I think the Patriots will have a real dogfight on their hands for the division. If the Jets can bring in a coach that can get the job done, and get rid of fragile Pennington for a real QB; then they'll be alot better than their whipping boy status this year.

Not sure I'd say Vermeil did well. Did he ever advance in the playoffs ? Not more than 1 round that I remember and usually not even that.

How are they going to get rid of Pennington? They signed him to a franchise QB contract. I think there is a huge dead money cap hit associated with cutting him and an even worse cap hit associated with keeping him.
