We also pulled a handful of decent players out of his tenure, though one could argue we had our fair share of clunkers as well.

McDaniels, on the other hand, came into the team when it was really in pretty decent shape. But in two years, he managed to pretty much dismantle all of the strengths the team had and waste numerous draft picks in the process. It's really pretty impressive when you think about it.

In some ways, it's just oddly comforting to realize that, no matter how bad Herm was, the Broncos had it worse.

I don't despise Herm. In fact, I think all this Herm hate is overblown, kind of like a mob mentality that sheeple follow. He was the easy scapegoat. Do I think he was a good/above avg. coach? No, but there have been MANY much worse coaches in the NFL. At least he got his teams to the playoffs in NY and KC. He did a good job of finding and developing talent, which the Chiefs are benefiting from today.
