Former NFL head coach Herm Edwards joined ESPN in March 2009 as an NFL studio analyst, primarily appearing on NFL Live, SportsCenter, and ESPNEWS. Edwards, who worked a brief ESPN stint during the 2008 NFL offseason as a guest analyst, also contributes to ESPN's NFL Draft coverage and offers analysis on ESPN Radio and other platforms throughout the year.

Edwards spent eight years as an NFL head coach for the New York Jets (2001-05) and the Kansas City Chiefs (2006-08). He led his teams to four NFL postseasons, including a 2004 playoff appearance in which his Jets squad finished with a 10-6 regular season record and advanced to the AFC Divisional Playoffs. Edwards, who also guided the Chiefs to a Wild Card berth in 2006, is one of only four NFL coaches to lead two different teams to the playoffs in his first season as head coach with the respective teams.

The first graduate of the NFL's Minority Coaching Fellowship (1987), Edwards began his coaching career as a defensive back coach at San Jose State University (1987-89). He joined the NFL ranks as a scout with the Chiefs in 1990 and was with the club for four seasons (1992-95) as a defensive back coach and in his final year as a member of the player personnel department before joining Tony Dungy's staff in Tampa Bay. He served as the Bucs' assistant head coach and defensive back coach from 1996-2000. Edwards played defensive back in the NFL for 10 seasons (1977-86), mostly for the Philadelphia Eagles, with whom he recorded 38 career interceptions. He also played for the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams during his final season.

A native of Seaside, California, Edwards attended the University of California, Berkeley, for two years before graduating from San Diego State University with a degree in criminal justice. He was appointed a charter member of the Fritz Pollard Alliance and named a member of the Positive Coaching Alliance's National Advisory Committee in 2003. Edwards also remains active in numerous charitable and philanthropic endeavors, including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and the Herm Edwards Youth Foundation, which he created in 1985 with the goal of making a direct impact on the lives of underprivileged children.

Born Country

Charley Jenkins has country roots that run deep. He was raised on a farm in eastern Utah where he learned how to rope, ride and work hard. Life on the Jenkins farm revolved around cows, horses, and, of course, rodeo. Country music is all about a real cowboy's life - like Charley's. "Country is who and what I am. It is only natural for me to sing the songs that I love and relate to," says Charley. His first album, Greatest Hours, was written and produced with the help of his friend, Jordan Allen. With the success of this album and some personal advice from George Strait, Charley pushed his career to a new level.

In the summer of 2001, Charley loaded up his truck with everything he owned and headed off to Nashville, Tennessee. It didn't take him long to get his foot in the door in the country music industry. Charley was soon working on Music Row for a song-writing publishing company. It was here that Charley learned the ins and outs of the country business.
