When Herm is announced as coach...

[CanadaKC]

I'll be eleated. :clap: He's by far the best candidate...he's taken the team to the playoffs 3 out of 5 years...he's a Vermeil type in such he develops charactor as well as utilizes the best of his talent. He has NFL experience in the worlds's most difficualt market and has handled it with class. But he's also tough. He's the perfect fit. I can't wait for the press conference.

If it's not going to be Saunders, I agree. He'd be a great choice. I'm less optimistic about his availability than you seem to be though.

[Adept Havelock]

The wailing and gnashing of teeth will begin.

For those without, teeth will be provided.

I wish I could see Herm or AS as anything but the lesser of multiple evils. Hopefully, one of them will prove me wrong.

[CanadaKC]

The thing is....does Herm want to stay with a team that's obviously in rebuiding mode...and does ownership give him the huge bucks for an extension when he's already underpaid? Lamar will throw huge buck$ at Herm...and he comes to a place where football is church and where Vermeil has l3eft the franchise is great shape. A no-brainer if you think about it. The only crutch is the compensation.

[ChiefsCountry]

Out of the candiates being discussed, Herm Edwards is probally the best choice after Al Saunders.

[Deberg_1990]

After thinking about it alot, i think hed be a great fit here in KC. Basically hes the 2nd coming of Tony Dungy. Dungy came close with Tampa but could never get them over the top, just like Herm in NY. If he could just come into KC and not play around with the offense too much, give the defense some more attitude and discipline, we could have one hell of a team for the next couple of years.

[Rain Man]

I've got nothing at all against Herm and think he would be a fine choice. However, is it better to give up a high draft choice to get him as opposed to any of several other fine choices? I think not.

[Sybil]

... to a place where football is church ...

If football is church in KC that explains why I feel like Job.

[Logical]

I really don't care that much as long as we don't give up draft picks in the process of getting him.

I don't mind Herm, but under no circumstance should we give up good picks, shit we need them. We better get Herm, Law and Vilma if we have to give up picks.

[KChiefs1]

If the Chiefs have to give up draft choices for Herm....forgetaboutit!

[Halfcan]

Herm and Big John A. who is likely to leave if herm does.

This is not the plum job some make it out as being.

You want Herm or Fisher?? I like both.....up in the air for me.

[Imon Yourside]

Herm=Carl's good ole boy network. Just Say NO! The comparisons to Dungy are so laughable. We don't seem to have Manning anywhere in our midst.

Exactly, I hope if he gets hired he sits down watches film of the past 4 seasons and immidiatly shows Sims, Hicks, Browning, Dalton, Wesley, Bartee, and Woods the door.

I'd give up a #1 for Jeff Fisher. If that's not an option, I'd give up a late day 1 (or lower) pick for Edwards.

[kregger]

just a note from ESPNhttp://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=wojnarowski_adrian&id=2278971
Seems to make sense to me. Compensation is gonna suck though.

Do you think the Jets are better?


Among the jobs that are open, we've got the Chiefs, Vikings, Packers, Lions, Saints, Rams, Texans, and probably the Raiders. I think the Chiefs have a lot more to work with than any of those other teams except maybe the Vikings and the Rams.

FatLockTard would not stand a chance with Herm.

I just used my stapler to jam a staple through my thumbnail to distract myself from the pain of even thinking about giving up a #1 for a coach. Please don't make me do it again.

Whitlock is going to ride Germ Edwards like a two dollar whore. It's going to be hilarious.

[chrisdel]

The only problem I have with Edwards is that, if I remember right, him and his coaching staff a lot of problems with clock and game management last season, particularly with time outs. Worse than Vermeil, even. Of course, last season Paul Hackett was their OC...

Coaches should play Madden in the offseason as practice for clock management. It would help, really.

Their defense is quite good and young I might add, but they have big problems at RB, QB and along the o-line. It is just choosing one rebuilding job over the other one.

They are a better team than this years record, they were truly killed by injuries. I believe they have 12 starters on IR, that is starters not just players.

Of the other teams you listed except maybe the Texans I would agree. I truly believe the Texans have all the ingredients minus the 0-line. An o-line is easier to rebuild than all our holes IMO.

[CanadaKC]

Vlad...quit listening to your own crap and take a step in reality. Herm will be our coach. The Jets have little bargaining rights due to a 4-12 season, and more importantly, a coach who doesn't want to be in NY anymore.

[Eleazar]

I would rather have someone else without using a bunch of draft picks to get them. But I would rather not have Herm even if he was out of work.

[Mecca]

I really don't get why some people dislike the guy so much. He made the playoffs 3 out of 5 years while being in a division with a team that won 3 Superbowls. Also during the time he's been the coach, they're the least penalized team in the league.

[Otter]

Color me as "I don't give a flying fluck".

Peterson + 17 years in my book is a pretty good sample pool of what to expect until he's gone. I"d color anyone as a fool who expects anything else, or more for that matter.

[Tribal Warfare]

Actually he's all for the Edwards trade, he believes he got a raw deal with the Pennington situation

[kcfanintitanhell]

I honestly think that any HC in the NFL right now would be chomping at the bit to take over this team. It would be like getting a really great deal on a semi-high mileage luxury car, with a brand new engine.
