Chiefs Have Gailey and Thigpen saved Herm's job?

FringeNC · 11-16-2008, 03:51 PM

I think they have. Herm can claim despite the poor record, that he is developing a franchise quarterback. Certainly Herm had nothing to do with it, and this offense goes against his style of play, but Hunt is not going to pull the plug on Herm with all the buzz Thigpen is getting.

Given that he no longer imposes his philosophy on offense, he is getting close to just being the figure head as head coach. Problem is, he still makes terrible decisions like punting when the chance of us stopping them was far far less than the chance of a conversion.

Probably because his job didn't need saving, Clark is just like his old man, this is gonna be a long what 50 years?

Should a man on death row be spared because he grabbed a CO before he fell down the stairs?...

no, coaches don't have to do anything to keep their jobs with the chiefs....

Yeah, Gunther evidently has a lifetime contract.

I don't see how anybody can make this argument
Gailey is a known commodity -Herm knew what he was hiring
or are you saying Carl hired Gailey -anyway you slice it the haters lose when it comes to Gailey

no .... but all the injuries did

I honestly don't think Herm's job status in 09 was ever in jeopardy.

Deberg_1990 · 11-16-2008, 04:14 PM

Unfortunately yes.

If this were any other organization, all they would need to see is: 1-18 and 14-28 overall since 06.

I don't think Herm's job was/is in jeopardy yet, especially since there hasn't been a blackout. I don't give the Chiefs very much credit for playing better though. To me, it's like a 500 pound man losing 40 pounds. Good for you, but you're still a fatass and you're still the one that let yourself get to be a total mess to begin with.

I think its been discussed before, but the whole blackout thing seems to be a fallacy. There are a ton of no shows and empty seats.

The popular opinion is the Chiefs are fudging the numbers somehow because of the stadium construction.

I'm beginning to think they silently eliminated the blackout rule across the league.

Im surprised the NFL hasnt rewritten the contracts so that blackouts get to be played on NFLN. Just one more added reason the cable companies will have to pick it up.

IMO, Herm's job was never in doubt. Clark was always gonna have him back next year regardless of the record.

Empty seats don't factor into the equation. If the seat was sold, it doesn't matter if the person with the ticket showed up or not. Like when you hear about a station buying up tickets to avoid a blackout, nobody's actually going to be in those seats unless the station just hands the tickets out on the street.
