Great post. I agree with this and can't wait for Herm to be shown the door. It will be interesting to hear who Herm throws under the bus once he is gone.

If he was so opposed to the defensive scheme he wouldn't have made all those comments about getting better after Vermeil left.

Track Jared Allen's ascension with the overall performance of the team. Throw in his departure. See a correlation?

He wasn't in a no-win situation. He didn't need to stay with the Chiefs when Herm informed him of the kind of defense he wanted to run.

I miss him already.

He had the chance to pick his players and we ended up with shit. If he didn't want to run the Cover 2 he could have grown a spine and left with DV.

**** Gunther.

I know. Who are we going to make fun of. We only have Herm left! Damnit Carl and Damnit Gun! Why'd you have to make us lose the butts of all of our jokes?!?!?!

All it proves is what we have wondered for so long. He was given to big of a voice from Carl. You take Carl, who thinks he is a "football man" but isn't and only hire coaches he can play puppet with. Gun Has always had trouble just doing his job and not going overboard. It's what got him fired as HC. He didn't trust anyone to deligate responsibilities and he was never wrong. Tim Grunhard said at that time it was always me me me out of Gun's mouth.

That's why when he came back from the titans he said he was bored with just being a LB coach there.

I hope Schwartz has a shock collar and extra batteries for the remote because he sure will need them. He better get Marty on speed dial if he wants to learn how to control that fools ego.

All that says or proves is that Carl and Herm have no business trying to manage a coaching staff, which is part of the job of the GM and HC.

Looks like Pioli has his mind made up on the D anyway. Gun and Gibbs are gone. Only krumrie, Michael Ketchum( a DA who was a Grad Ass. under Ferentz) and Daron Roberts(low level DA/quality control) remain. With Gun leaving the LB coach leaves as well.

It will be interesting what happens with Gailey and the O next. He brought in D'Allesandres and Modkins from GTech for their first NFL coaching jobs. Bicknell and Curl had college and only NFL europe exp. from the pro level. Price and Embree only have their pro experience under Herm as well. So you could say Gailey is the only guy who other teams actually "know" about without talking with Herm.

So special teams and D are done(krumrie probably goes anytime now) and let's see what happens on O. If that's the way it is I bet they are letting Herm sit around to stew to see if he resigns, which is doubtful

Gunther never had any conviction. He went back to the team with the GM that fired him over the internet.

I hope he keeps talking and gives tidbits up of what went wrong with the Chiefs. It's nice to know that the fans were correct about a lot of their observations and guesses the past three years.

This is true.

The new regime can't start fast enough.

That old crazy bastard Al Davis knew what he was doing demoting that egomaniac to DLcoach before he first came here.

Do you have a job?

I have been one of the most critical, when it comes to Gunther.

But I have to agree with him on this. Herm insisted on his defense, the cover 2, which has been said to be obsolete.

Also, I can't blame him for being a little ticked at losing the only impact player this defense has had, in quite a while.

That being said, I am so glad he is gone!

I understand the sentiment that he was handcuffed by being forced to run a cover two.

But I also saw how well Ron Rivera adapted to the cover two for the Bears, after working for Jim Johnson in Philly, and how he got improved results from the Charger defense after replacing Ted Cottrell mid season in San Diego.

An actual coach can coach, regardless of scheme.

A bad coach makes excuses and points fingers.

What he's saying is true. Our defense the last year JA was here was the best defense we've had since like 2001.

:bravo:
That's reptastic.
