Chuck Swirsky

Of course, we're drawn to him because not only was his time in the division in the NFC North when he was with the Vikings so pivotal, but also just the redemption that he's had.

And to do it twice, you know, to come into –

Minnesota and have the year he had with Kevin O'Connell and then to not get paid by Minnesota, even though he could have earned a lot of money, then to do it again in Seattle.

You know, what stands out about what he's done, even to you as a former head coach who's seen so many things, about how he's been able to succeed once and then again like this?

We're talking to Herm Edwards, the longtime NFL coach, the ESPN analyst, kind enough to join us on Rahimi Harrison Grote on 670 The Score.

And it's funny, Coach, because you bring up

the timeline that we've seen the Patriots and Mike Vrabel have but then he's beating a team coached by Sean Payton who unfortunately lost Bo Nix due to a broken bone in his ankle in that last game which was an incredible game in and of itself coming down to luck but I think to even do what Sean Payton has done a guy known for his offensive mind got far and away one of the best defenses in the league too you know what do you make of just the timeline you're talking about when it comes to Payton coming back to the Broncos and then what that team did this past year

Herm, what do you think about the Bears' season this past year and their potential for next year?

We just threw up our hands in elation here in the studio, Coach.

That was good news for us.

And I feel like Marshall has been saying almost the exact same phrasing.

Herm Edwards, this has been a lot of fun.

As usual, we love talking football with you.

Thank you for joining us.

That is Herm Edwards, the longtime NFL and, yes, college and Pac-12 coach, talking to us about not just the Bears, but the AFC and NFC title games and a lot more.

Well, and the way he, you can tell, man, like Sam Darnold, just believing in people.

That's what they do.

That's what coaches do.

Coming up next here on Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score, I want to remind you again that if you missed our first hour, we had a lot of calls and Mitch Rosen came in to talk about Terry Boards.

We are having a celebration of life.
