Issue

What happened to this article? The whole part about his General Manager career has disappeared? Who removed it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.143.117.158 (talk) 13:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slight NPOV problem?

In the discussion of Sherman's tenure with the Green Bay Packers it says "In spite of... " so many winning records he was fired after one 4-12 season that had many injuries, it may be worthy to point out that the Packers did not have but one win against teams with winning records by season's end for nearly 2.5 years and that was the overtime win in the Playoffs against Seattle. The only other two wins against teams with winning records were against teams that sat their starters since they were in and had nothing to play for. Of course needs to be winnowed down to be concise, but the gist is that Sherman's record was padded due to easy schedules and when they faced tough teams, during the regular season or playoffs, they lost habitually. So either include some modifying language to this effect or take out the "In spite of..." type language.

I agree with this. The worst is the line: "Injuries were to blame for the poor season" (no cite). In addition to the apparent bias, this is also original research. Originalname37 (talk) 00:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article protected

This article was protected to prevent changes being made regarding the Texas A&M head coaching job speculation. It is currently set to expire on Dec 3. I believe that is too long. I am going to unlock following the 11am press conference today as these rumors should be confirmed or denied by then. This will allow all editors to make the appropriate changes to the article. If inappropriate vandalism begins, then another WP:RFPP can be made.↔NMajdantalk 16:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the locking admin, that's perfectly fine by me. I was not aware of the particular date, and was merely leaving it till the end of the week, as requested. Have fun editing! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 17:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Period as GM

Sherman was the head coach of the Packers from 2000-2005, but he was only GM from 2001-2004.--12.28.101.34 (talk) 18:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
