In all likelihood Pioli is just being politically correct and will give Herm a chance to save face and make a deal with Clark to do the honorable thing and resign.

Herm, being the weasel that he is, will hang on for the full 3 million he'll receive if he's terminated, then he will use his press contacts to play the race card . Good riddance!

Hey - if Pioli is REALLY good he will trade Herm for a draft pick. Nahh - no one could be stupid enough to give up a valuable draft pick for Herm.

Again - great pickup for the Chiefs and a 99.999% probability that Herm will be gone very shortly.
