I doubt Herm is going to be retained. That said, if he is it wouldn't surprise me one bit to hear that Pioli comes in and fires Gun. Then possibly hiring his future HC canidate as DC/Asst HC to Herm. Basically setting himself and the franchise up for a promotion in the future and less drama then we would have next offseason just hunting a coach. As state above Herm would still get his chance this year and if he couldn't get it done it wouldn't IMO affect player morale because the new HC would be someone they are already familiar with! Just a thought.
