Herm Edwards wasn't a good coach, but he was 100% right about the rebuild and it's inaccurate to say he tore the team down to nothing as if that's a bad thing. The Chiefs wouldn't be where they are today if he didn't have the balls to do that.
Like Herm Edwards or not, you have to feel bad for a guy who did the right thing and got canned for doing it.

It wasn't that he had the balls to do it, he was inept enough to do it. 4-12 and 2-14 isn't a plan, it's an outright failure. If his teardown was intentional he didn't talk with the front office about it or he wouldn't have been fired.
His intentions were not to take the team down, but as I said he is inept as a head coach, I doubt that he ever gets the chance to prove differently in the NFL again.
The Chiefs aren't where they are today because of Herman, they are there due to the ability of the new staff to get the most out of players. If the current administration had of been there instead of Peterson/Edwards TG would still be playing for the Chiefs and there is a likelihood that they would have already won a SB over the past 4 years. That's just my opinion but when you turn a team around in two years, there is more to it than left over draft picks.
