Why isn't Herm gone?
 

If you ran the Chiefs, what would be the situation with our head coach right now?

Carl and Herm out. Schottenheimer at GM (sort of a trial period, maybe replaced after the season, depending who is available) and probably Gailey at head coach (unless Marty had a bright idea)- again, Gailey as an interim until the end of the season when I would expect to replace him.

Not only would I shoot myself is this were to happen, I'd shoot you first.

:cuss:

You would shoot yourself over interim hires? What are your bright ideas?

Maybe Marty would draft a shitty linebacker like Mike Junkin at #5 OVERALL, then when he's on his next team, he can trade for that shitty guy, too.

Or maybe he can suggest to draft a guy that hasn't thrown an interception in 140 passes, just like Bernie Kosar did once.

Or maybe he can suggest we draft another long-necked running back who can't hit holes.

Or just draft a first round running back and bang his GF.

Sound good?

I think you're myopic idiot if Marty Schottenheimer, who's probably the least qualified person in the world to become a GM, is your only solution.

Or better yet, are you Clark Hunt in disguise?

Who the **** cares anyway?

Nobody is being fired mid-season.

At this point, I'd leave him in place; this is rebuilding year 1. If I wasn't willing to give him until 2010 to get the job done, I'd have fired him after 2007 and hired a new coach to rebuild.

Now, throwing out reality, if I were really the owner, Carl and I would have parted company in 2006, and a new GM would have come in with the new coach, whether that was Herm or someone else.

I never would have hired him to begin with, but firing him before this season would have been incredibly stupid. Everyone spends the offseason saying "it's going to get worse before it gets better", and then everyone panics when things don't immediately get better. You at least have to give it a chance to get better, or else you're going to knee-jerk your way through coaches and end up being the Arizona Cardinals.

Seriously, who are you going to hire that will immediately make this team better?

Yeah, if we play like last week for the rest of the season with no signs of improvement, and we're still running a Herm/Gailey hybrid offense and giving up 300 yards of rushing a game at the end of the season, maybe we should cut our losses.

I hate Herm as much or more than anyone, but come on people...

He would have been fired last year. The decision to can his ass after the season with 3 and a half minutes left in the Indy game.

Nice name-calling, jerk. Please explain to me what you think a GM does during the regular season and then tell me your bright ideas for the job as of 09/20/08.

I said I'd think you were a myopic idiot if Marty were your only suggestion.

I didn't say that YOU were a myopic idiot.

There is a difference.

Regardless, there will be NO firings during the season.

What in the hell would that accomplish? Seriously?

WHAT?

Waited until the end of the season then cleaned house

QFT, Herm clearly quit on the team during that game. No coach ever deserves to continue to coach when he quits.

The offense was building some confidence, he paniced, punted, and just flat out pulled a Damon Huard.

Definately fire herm. Maybe make chan run the team to finish off the year.

I think Chan would be a better option at this point?

Fire Carl and Herm..

Interm GM Clark Hunt
Interm HC Chan Gailey
