Herm got fired because he won 6 games over the last 2 years, period.

ROFL but true

could also be because of the NO ACCOUNTABILITY on herms part

Pioli is showing everyone that there's a new sheriff in town.

He's under no pressure at all from the media. In fact, it's the exact opposite: By freezing them out, he's demonstrating who has the power. They're all running around in the dark and squirming and crying about not knowing what's going on.

Carl cared way too much about the media. Pioli doesn't give a flying ****.

doesn't matter...as long as Herm is gone

maybe because Herms record "Spoke for itself"?

As has been said in many other threads, It's the bottom line. CH and SP could give a flying fornication what the press or anybody else thinks. CH has demonstrated this by firing a 20 yr employee to get someone better because a better product makes more money. The fact that everyone agreed with the move is coincidental. SP got the info he needed from Herm and decided that a better coach would win more games and make more money. I also think IMHO that Pioli has somebody in mind and pretty well signed or else you wouldn't cut someone loose unles you were assured of getting something better.

exactly. Especially the lapdog KC media.

Was Herm fired because Pioli wanted to or because of the pressure from the press?
 

No, Herm was fired because he is a miserable failure as an NFL head coach.

More like a few minutes, lol.

Teams are not allowed to make announcements during Super Bowl week
and Herm's usefulness was used up -had to cut him now
the job opening brings a nice buzz and story line for SB week -good PR

Pioli was told to see if there was a possibility in keeping Herm by the owner. It was probably a good idea as he got a glance at what the situation is here. Anybody else would have told the owner they'd give Herm a look and then fired him the next day.

Bottom line... I DONT CARE... he's gone thank the football gawds.

Sure i wish it had came earlier so that perhaps some of the guys that just got hired as HC's around the NFL had the chance too interview w/ the Chiefs.

I'm sure Pioli has a plan... and I like many others "wish that we the fans, and press where made aware of the Chiefs plans" But ya know what, really we dont need too know whom they are looking for as HC.

Who cares WHY... he's FKN GONE! :clap:

Pioli probably canceled the cable and newspaper subscription to Arrowhead. He doesn't let information out or in.
