Herm Edwards goes off on LeSean McCoy (Video)
Former NFL coach and current ESPN analyst Herm Edwards is tired of hearing about the drama between Chip Kelly and LeSean McCoy.
During Wednesday’s edition of “Inside the NFL,” Edwards went absolutely ballistic when asked about the latest remarks McCoy made about Kelly. Here’s a portion of his rant:

“You ask me, ‘Coach, do you wanna go back and coach?’ No! I don’t wanna coach this! This ain’t professional football, man!” Edwards said. “It ain’t about you! It’s not about you anymore! The players think it’s all about them! It ain’t about them! It’s about the game of football, man!”
At one point, Edwards got so worked up that he threatened to walk off the set.
While most of us don’t feel as strongly about it as Herm, you have to agree with him that this whole McCoy-Kelly thing has gotten completely ridiculous. It all started when the Eagles traded McCoy and he later accused Kelly of being racist. There have been plenty of opportunities to bury the hatchet, and Kelly said Wednesday that he has reached out to McCoy and never heard back.
Rather than ignoring the controversy, McCoy threw more fuel on the fire with his comments on Wednesday. The feud has turned into a complete sideshow.
