Herman Edwards Jr.
(born April 27, 1954) is an American football coach and former player, as of 2018 the head coach at Arizona State University.
From 2009 to 2017, he was a pro football analyst for ESPN.
He played cornerback for ten seasons (1977–1986) with the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, and Atlanta Falcons.
Edwards is known for the 1978 "Miracle at the Meadowlands", when he recovered a fumble by Giants quarterback Joe Pisarcik, for a touchdown during the waning seconds of a certain Eagles loss, to turn it into a victory. Before being hired in 2006 as the tenth head coach in Kansas City Chiefs history, Edwards was the head coach of the New York Jets from 2001 to 2005.
He was known for his poor clock management and gameday terminology, dubbed "Hermisms" by fans.
Of these, the quote and sound bite, "You play to win the game!", a message that he gave during a Jets press conference, became the title of his book, a collection of "leadership lessons" for the reader to use as personal motivation.
