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.

Shit
Herm Edwards drafted the single worst team in football in terms of players under 30. Not even close. It's not his fault that Roaf, Green, Shields, Kennison, Dante Hall, Surtain, Knight, Wesley/Woods, Priest were all on the way out of the NFL.
It's been well documented that Herm always wanted to rebuild, but Carl Peterson stubbornly insisted that the team reload. That's why we made genius moves like bringing in Ty Law and Damion McIntosh at a time when we needed youth and we were low on cap space.
And it's been well documented that Herm went over Carl's head and got in Clark Hunt's ear, which is the only reason the Chiefs tore the team apart and focused on rebuilding through youth.
Without Herm, Carl Peterson would have tried to win fans back by reloading the team with more versions of Shawn Barber and Dexter McCleon and we would have been content with our 10-6, 1-and-out playoff losers with no Super Bowl potential. Herm Edwards deserves all the credit in the world for giving Pioli a good base to work with.
