I guess. And I thank him for that. But if he was any kind of head coach, he would have had more success with the rebuild than he did.

He not only got rid of those guys. He demanded to Clark hunt to lessen Carl peterson's power so he can do it. If herm let Peterson walk all over him, I guarantee you that in 2007 and 2008, Peterson brings in a few Shawn barbers, makes the team 8-8, and we'd be golden. Herm made sure that didn't happen. And even if that put his job on the line, he committed to playing youth even if they were making mistakes.
No head coach could have fielded a winner. There has rarely been a team that hit ground zero the way the chiefs did. 10 years of botched drafts, a salary cap over maxed out because of trying to buy the band aids to win vermeil a super bowl, two shoddy coordinators forced on the coach due to croneyism, and a gm who refused to blow the team up and rebuild. Not to mention... Eventually, some of the worst qb situations in the league.
