It's all just speculation, of course, but I don't think Pioli was going to rush something as important as his own contract negotiations just so he could deal with Herm and the coaching carousel, knowing Herm only has a year left on his contract. That said, I knew Pioli wasn't going to run into Arrowhead and start swinging the ax on his first day or two. And if Spagnuolo was first on Pioli's list, Pioli wasn't going to fire Herm on Thursday or Friday knowing Spagnuolo could go to the Rams this weekend.

You could be right in that Pioli might have his man, but he might have been forced to sit back a little and see what happened due to the timing of everything.

I hate Herm as much as anyone, but Herm failing next year is better than making the wrong decision at HC and having to deal with it for the next 3-5 years.

I'm already of the opinion that we will be stuck with Herm for the coming season. He'll get his one last shot with a few new Asst's one of them being a new DC. If he doesn't produce... they totally overhaul the coaching staff next year.

It's the only possible reason that they haven't done anything.
