Chiefs Why isn't Herm gone? part II

whoman69 · 09-27-2008, 07:58 AM

Before the Atlanta game I posted a poll about when to pull the trigger on firing Herm. I think it was partly skewed by the fact that more than half thought he shouldn't have even started this season. Let's take out the rewriting history part. Its a mess, how do you deal with it. I'm posting a poll with a different look. I'd like to hear from the nearly 20% who in the first poll wanted to see how this season plays out.

Herm has "the pictures."

Firing Herm during this season isn't going to save our season. I'm not a Herm apologist, I'm just saying, firing him now isn't going to change anything.

What he said.

unfortunately, we are stuck with this turd for 13 more games.

I pray Clark doesnt look at him like a "1st year rebuilding coach".......

I am firmly convinced that we will be stuck with Carl and Herm next year.
We will get a new D.C. and O.C. because they will be the scapegoats.

If that is the case I am strongly against drafting a Quarterback.

I do not want him infected with Herms by a dirty Dick Curl.

I would rather they continue to rebuild the Defense (Linebackers and Defensive End and O-line, Wide Receivers) on offense.

Trade any players with Piss poor attitude(L.J.-Tony GOLLUM (one ring rules them all)) or who have not played to there level.

Derek Johnson, Pollard?, Page, Bell,Sams (Focking Sams), Ron Edwards, Damion McIntosh, Adrian Jones, Jeff Webb, The Invisible Man(DVD), John McGraw, Huard, Thigpen, Pat Thomas, The Napster, Donny Edwards, Nick Novak

You know that is just sad how long that list is.

Just My thoughts

I am Not a fair weather fan, I watch every game just to see a spark.
The Players now have dead eyes already.

Even at "rebuilding" their hasn't been any progress when Clark was making his press runs he said their must be progress for anyone on the staff to retain their job. Of course the playoff talk he spouted was bullshit, but the general message is clearly marked.

I'm convinced Herm's scheme would have worked great in the '70s, but even his run game is unimaginative. The way the rules are set up the passing game is wide open both offensively and defensively. He'd rather sit back on defense. His goal on offense is to get to 14 and hope that's enough. That doesn't work when most of your possessions are three and out. He's leaving the defense on the field and keeping his offense off the field.

I don't see how we are served by having our young players indoctrinated in this system one game longer. We are learning some bad habits. Much like we had to reeducate everyone after being in Grob's defense, we are going to have to reeducate everyone how to play football again after this guy is gone. Is it smart to put out a young quarterback into a system in which it is impossible to succeed? Its no surprise that Croyle is failing with the conservative predictable system. We bring in Chan Gailey to supposedly open up the offense a bit, but are taking out half the playbook. It got to end and end now.

If whoever takes over isn't afraid of offense, sure it will.

The sooner the hack is gone the better. Every game he coaches hurts a little more.

The heck it wouldn't. It would send a message to the pukes on the field, that losing will not be tolerated just because we are rebuilding.

Rebuilding is one thing, but you still have to be competitive enough so that on any given day, you are worthy to be on that damn football field and win a game.

Herm just isn't doing that. He sucks as a motivator, is great at evaluating talent and running a draft board.

TN_Chief · 09-27-2008, 08:21 AM

First, I belive that Herm should be fired no later than the end of the season. Period. But if we lose 16 consecutive games, he should be gone then.

And I don't want to heard about McKay and the expansion Bucs...we are not them. If Herm can't somehow swing a victory in a year, his ass should be run out of town on a rail.

For those that say firing him during the season will do nothing, IMO at some point you have to make a statment (to your fans and your players) that buffoonery, poor preparation, etc. will not be tolerated. So you can him during the season as a wake up call to those who remain.

rad · 09-27-2008, 08:45 AM

He should be fired during the 2nd quarter of the next game. Clark should come down to the sideline, go off on an animated tirade, then grab the headset and gameplan from him and finish the game himself, while Herm slinks away, pouting.

In retrospect, this would have been pretty funny had it happened in the middle of that game.... and then changed the outcome...

Fan patience is great....

whoman69 · 10-05-2008, 02:20 PM

I'm bringing this back out. Today this team played without a bit of spark and showed a total lack of preparation. I will ask anyone who does not think that Herm deserves to be fired right now, do you really think that once this is rebuilding is done in two years, that Herm is putting the pieces together that will take us to the Super Bowl? I personally don't think that his system could ever take us where we need to go. If he is not putting things together, the WTF is he still doing coaching this team.
