I think almost all would agree he was a good to very good coach who got a LOT of mileage out of an offense that lacked top flight receivers. He made some fantastic scheme choices and got Favre to buy in.

His work as GM was short sighted like almost all other coaches given that job mid tenure.

Sherman was a good coach, sure. He made pounding the rock great again. But the 4th and 26 game, along with the Moss-Moon game and Vick-Victory game (first ever playoff loss at Lambeau), are proofs that Sherman was a better GM than coach.

Sherman the GM never missed the playoffs. Sherman the coach often was outcoached in the playoffs.

I rest my case.

We should do a dive into his playoffs. According to my memory, one team should have made it through (4th and 26). Another had been decimated by injuries (Falcons loss). Not sure about the other two.

I like the Pear Shaped Loser’s performance in super bowls. Stellar.

2004 GM Sherman killed 2004 coach Sherman ((Vikings loss). Rams were pretty good in 2001, but lack of running game and six Favre picks were way too much to sink the pack.

That Rams game was close for a while but it came apart fast.

That was the game with Rossum as the dime DB, yes?
