I actually think Herm isn't a bad guy to have in place for a rebuild. He seems to do solid drafting and isn't afraid to give young guys a chance. And I do think Carl gives his coaches a lot of say in the draft. You can see the trends with the different coaches.
That being said, IMO you don't rebuild a team completely from scratch. You have to know which youngs guys to sign for a second contract, and which FAs to get to fill holes, and that's where I question what the FO is capable of.

a team that is willing to trade a 26-year-old superstar has just lost any trust i ever had in them.

In the first years of Carl's regime, he won the adoration of Chiefs fans by pulling the team out of the abyss, with the help of a good coach and a great young pass rusher. There is a woeful symmetry that he is now supporting a horrid coach and jettisoning a great young pass rusher.

my point is, if they keep letting players go because they are not willing to pay them, jared allen is going to be a hell of a lot older than 30 by the time the chiefs can contend again. he'll be more like 50, or 80, or dead. |

The debate of money and DUIs are both good reasons for Carl to trade him. Herm shouldn't have one good reason, and should be screaming to Carl to do everything possible to keep him. No, I don't trust management to rebuild this team, but after far too many years of mediocrity, starting over is the only logical thing to do. I'd just rather it be with a head coach coaching the team and not a defensive coordinator. |

If management can't possibly rebuild, then what possible difference can keeping or trading Jared Allen make? We're screwed either way.

It's just like the market - buy low and sell high. Allen is a great player right now but his value will never be higher, plus his contract demands are not worth the risk in him serving a long suspension. |

that is my point though their best player isn't going to help them contend in the next 3-4 years and by them he won't be their best player anymore...so sell him while you can...get some good young guys in who can help this team win in 3-4 years and be in their prime
