Firing Herm now will do nothing for this team atm. It's the truth, it might help the play calling but the talent wouldn't get any better. LJ will still complain, Tony will still keep his go get em attitude, any of our QB's will still be either injury proned or interception proned, and our Oline will still be shaky just like our defense. This is the team that Herm built and it will be his end, but it will be at the end of the season.
The decision to fire Herm would just be to please a mob, but you have to have a guarantee that parts of those mob after they get what they want they'd come to games again, which Carl doesn't have. I don't care if Herm gets fired I just know that not a whole lot will change. You can call for blood if you want but that doesn't mean you will get it. I know that the next step requires certain things to fall in place like Junior QB's to come out, hopefully Stafford and Bradford come out this year.
Everyone knows what needs to happen after this season, besides fixing up our Oline we need that first round franchise Quarterback. Carl's job depends on two things, one getting that first round franchise quarterback to reenergize the fans and the organization, he also needs to get rid of Herm and bring in Cowher, not Marty and not some new young coach. I don't care if people say he wouldn't come here, if you give him enough money he will come here, we're not the Raiders, we're not the Rams, we're not the Bengals, and we're not the Browns, we ARE the Chiefs and we ARE better than that, if you want change than this step, and your confidence, is critical.
One major problem that I see is being the fourth or fifth pick behind a team like Houston, St. Louis, or the Lions is that Carl will not bust his ass to get what we need. I would gladly give up a 1st, a 3rd, and Larry Johnson for the Number 1 pick to pick up Stafford, and I bet that any of those teams would take it, PLUS it would also send Larry out of our hair and to another bad team. Carl is stingy, but Cowher is not, if Cowher came in and it was his draft he'd go out and give everything for that one franchise guy whether it be Stafford or Bradford, with his skills Cowher would do what Herm would not, and everyone knows that.
If we had Stafford/or Bradford and we had their intelligence, and release times/arm strength, Cowher would be intrigued in this young team. I guarantee that Cowher would get so much more out of this team than Herm would. Cowher would take the elements that Herm had placed, Carr, Flowers, Dorsey, Hali, Turk, Tank, Pollard, DJ, and all of them on the defensive side of the ball and he would turn them into what Herm wants, but not what Herm gets. Give Cowher this young team, a franchise quarterback, AND alot of money and make it happen. Marty would do a little bit more for this franchise to get it back to subpar play, but Cowher would revitalize everything.
1. Fire Herm, get Cowher.
2. Cowher gets rid of Herms staff and brings in his own.
3. Cowher gets the say in the draft, and trades up to get Matt Stafford/Sam Bradford, it will revitalize the franchise and put fans back in the stands.
4. If neither comes out, which would be kinda foolish considering the type of money they'd be turning down, then we're going to have to settle and we're SOL. Stafford/Bradford are the two best QB's coming out of the draft for the next two years, and to not get one of them would be unacceptable.
Young defense + Franchise Quarterback + Cowher = What the Chiefs should be. Carl make it happen.
And I know that this ticks off Mr. Claythan but sorry bro, it's the way things are. No Herm, and no Larry Johnson will help this team in the long run.
