Edwards Expresses Discontent

February 11, 2003

Coach Herman Edwards first comments regarding the movement in the Jets' front office can be said to be non-supportive. Edwards questioned the Jets position in loyalty towards its employees. Edwards who has three years left in his contract has been an advid supporter of Bradway, and the personnel moves he has made.

Edwards led the Jets to two consecutive playoff appearances in his first two seasons, and a regular season record of 19-13, and 1-2 in the playoffs. Edwards came over from the Buccanears, and is considered responsible for creating one of the strongest Defenses in the league during the past decade. However, the Jets D has struggled in Edwards two seasons here, as his system has yet to be fully implemented due to the fact that Defensive Coordinator, Teddy Cottrell believes the team should be running an aggressive 3-4 D. Under Parcells and Groh the Jets used a 3-4 D, that was aggressive and created using a lot of current personnel.
