A Defense/Analysis of Mike Sherman

[az1965]

I am pretty sure he is a players coach too. I remember stories of him taking the whole team bowling during training camp. And we all remember him going after Warren Sapp to back up his injured player. Denny Green had his favorites and I think this caused a rift at times.

I hope he doesn't take the team on a love boat or nudie bar...

Truer words were never said... when we hired Dennis Green. Ugh.

We? I knew you were partly responsible for that hiring.

Sherman is a horrible personnel guy. Horrible drafts, bad free agencies.

I think the thing with Sherman is similar to the knocks on guys like Dungy, Dennis Green, Mary Schottenheimer, and a bunch of other guys. He beat up on crappy teams during the regular season, and then the playoffs come along, when coaching ability is at a premium because the talent levels are much better, and they get blown out and/or embarassed and disappear.

I'm sure that Sherman is a prepared guy and generally has his guys ready to play on Sundays, but he made bad personnel decisions when he was GM, left the Packers' cap in a shambles, and was routinely blown out in the playoffs when not coaching aginst the Steve Mariuccis of the NFL.

Cool! You don't have to worry about that here in Arizona... We have Graves incharge of the personnel... I know you love it
