I actually quit drinking like three hours ago. I am pretty sober.
I guess you want to hear about Herm?
Here's what I didn't like... he didn't hate the Raiders enough. That pissed me off. He should have run a harder training camp.
Herm was a good guy. I liked him and he was entertaining. He did an amazing job the first year he was in KC. He inherited a team that was old as hell and made the playoffs. So what if we backed in? We were in a position to back in.
The second year he was in KC, the players aged out and the wheels fell off. It wasn't his fault at all. The dude had a QB like once in his entire career. His third year was just one long preseason. He played more rookies than anyone in the history of the NFL that year. It was revolutionary really. I mean we cut people and signed people every week and they played on Sunday. He built the team we have today. Most of the core players came from Herm's reign. Hell, even the guys he didn't draft are still playing. Guys like Thigpen, Brackenridge, Patterson, and the list goes on.
The reality is that he was hired to rebuild the team from day one but, management quickly changed their minds. He took us to the playoffs with Damon Huard for God's sake. He really started the rebuild in year three. Just in time for Clark to panic as the new owner. I understand it was time for CP to go and I agreed with the Pioli hiring. However, Herm was doing a good job and he could not make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
I like where we are now. I really like Romeo and am glad Haley is gone. I just didn't get the Haley hire. We missed on every other HC and were like the last team to hire a coach. it was a bad hire from the beginning.
