Started this thread with my 17,000 post. I need a life.

[Tiger's Fan]

I take it as a personal afront that Clark Hunt hasn't fired Herm already. To leave the fanbase hanging like this is more than is deserved. The fact that Clark ever gave Herm a vote of confidence lessens my opinion of him as an owner, and a human being. We can read whatever we want into the situation after todays presser, but the fact that it hasn't been resloved already is a slap in the face of the average fan.

This deserves a cold one. Cheers everyone!

Ridiculously overblown.

It's good. He's not an salesman or a semi-professional actor.

810 made a great point...he was asked about KC's personnel guys...Pioli said "they're competent"....that is not an endorsement, that is not praise...that is borderline contempt...

same with Herm...what is most important is what Pioli didn't say, he didn't praise anyone but Clark....

i think the truth is that he sees right through this franchise...he isn't impressed by anything left by Carl and he's going to fugging wreck it....

i hope he puts on his championship rings and proceeds to pimp slap his way through the organizational chart of this crap stain franchise...

[chiefscafan]

So how long before we are competitive again next year, two years, three years?

My optimistic outlook says we sniff a .500 season next year showing great improvement like the Cards did last season under Wisenhunt and make the challenge for the AFC West title the following year. Just my hunch.
