How does Herm do it?

Chiefnj2 · 08-31-2007, 09:23 AM

How does Herm continue to get players to play hard for him? Most fans and media members grow tired of Herm quickly. It's taken only 1 year, with a playoff appearance, and I'd say that 50% of the fans want him gone. Last year at times Gonzo and LJ were publicly questioning the direction of the team and/or playcalling, etc. Yesterday Gonzo is talking about how great the team is. How does Herm keep players on his side and keep them believing and buying into his average program?

Because he used to be a playa....he knows what it is like....he knows what the players need and a whole bunch of other bunk he says.

Is it really in Gonzalez's best interest to state that Herm's play-not-to-lose philosophy is a joke, even if he believes that it is?

The media and 50% of said fans are stupid.

I like Herm.

The media and fans are where they are for a reason.

Herm got us to the playoffs last year. Shitty play or not, it WAS only preseason that we just saw, and both Carl and Tony have said, "what you have seen is NOT what you're going to get at all."

What if we make the playoffs again this year? Doom and gloomers will just bitch and moan about the playoff win drought and playing to mediocrity. If we suck this season like they want us to, they'll bitch that Herm is a shitty head coach.

Herm really can't win, can he? There's no possible way he can do well as Chiefs head coach, is there? To me, that's wrong. Give the guy a ****ing chance.

I GAVE the guy a ****ing chance.

I was FULLY prepared to not only ACCEPT a losing season this year, but be HAPPY about it.

If we would have sucked this season, you wouldn't have heard me bitch ONE TIME.

As it is, we ARE "playing to mediocrity" as you put it. It's pathetic. You'd think 18 years of this shit would get old for the Hunts.

I'm totally confused.

So you want them to lose more? And blame Herm for not doing that?

(I assume I'm misreading this)

I really don't think the Hunts give a shit.

Herm inherited the #1 offense in the NFL, period. See "Circus Offense."

Yes, we have talked about losing Roaf, the Green injury to delerium.
I still contend Willie retired due to the disrepect shown to the offense by Herm.
Trent was damaged goods and sent to Miami. Trent did not buy into Herms dumbing down of the offense, the real reason he was sent packing.

Herm inherited a 10-6 team and got into the playoffs by winning the "Quad Superfecta" on the last game of the season.
Nice playoff appearance! WOHOOO! Herm is the saviour!
His buddy Dungy got his much needed SB trophy.

I will keep hoping, but I don't like it so far. Can you officially call this Herm's team yet?

Hopefully the "REAL CHIEFS" are better than what we saw in the playoff game and preseason.
