Pioli probably doesn't give a #$%^ and would probably look to deal him with a plan to use any compensation in another deal, because he has an actual plan on how to do things...

He'll take what he can get for him, because he values ALL draft picks, not just 1st day picks.

Not sure about the fandom, but I do know he's a dumb****.

Exactly.....there will be no more holding out for a 4th instead of a 5th. Take what you can get and move the **** on.

.500 would be great next year with our schedule.

Then he's gone.

No way the HC doesn't show up to the introduction of the new GM if he thinks he's still employed by the organization. I think he has already been notified and the Chiefs are just working on the timing.

I wish Herm nothing but the best, he seems like a genuinely decent guy, but good lord is he stupid. Just be gone and live out the rest of your years being an exceptional DB coach while mumbling in incoherent bliss like Corky from "Life Goes On".

Three Super Bowl rings can make a pretty effective set of brass knuckles. Perhaps the sign of progress will be people cleaning out their desks with jaw bruises that say (backwards) XXXVI, XXXVIII, and XXXIX.

I found it kind of funny that i didnt see Herm sitting there. Dude is gone, he just didnt want to show that he's a goner when the spotlight is on him.

That's a key observation.

I'm not impressed by this charade. This day will go down as a black mark in the history of this proud, proud franchise. From great leaders like Marty Schottenheimer and Gunther Cunningham to this blatant attempt to Patsify the fanbase.

The Belichickification of the Chiefs has begun, men.

Now I'm ready for the beheading!
