Let's look at some facts. I know facts don't play well on the board, but let's just try it for fun.
1. The Chiefs owe Herm 4 Million in '09.
2. A new HC will run you 2 to 4 Million in '09.
3. Everyone seems to think that Scott knows what he is doing as a GM.
4. Scott has Herm and his assistant coaches under contract.
5. Scott will not make a change JUST to make a change. HE will hire a guy he wants.
6. Why would Scott spend 6 to 8 million (Herm's money + the new guy's money) on the HC position next season for a guy he really didn't want? You will also have to figure in the expense of two coaching staffs (guy's under contract + new staff).
Conclusion: Don't fire the guy you have to pay anyway until you are sure (with signed contract) you have the guy you want. That is the way all good business are run.
