Good press conference. He is definitely light years ahead of Carl.

I hope this is joke post from a joke account.

Herm sealed his fate when he complained about the distraction of breaking in a new GM. ROFL
Wearing his stocking cap backwards, his body lanquage at Carls farewell get together etc. His absence today, follows that trend.
I hope he ends up with the Raiders.

I know it was flying off the handle, and you make perfect sense. The thought of another year of Herm is unfathomable to me, and until he's publicly executed, I'll remain apprehensive. After 45 years of fandom, I've come to expect the worst with this franchise.

why are they repeating the press conference?

I think Pioli's ace in the hole is Kirk Ferentz. There is no way Kirk leaves for any other NFL gig, if he leaves it will be to join up with Scott which has to be the best situation for a guy like Ferentz to come to the NFL.

That said Pioli can talk to Herm, get his thoughts on our players, make a decision and fire Herm. When that's done Pioli will look at who is available and and go with a Schwartz or Sprags, and if those guys are gone, he goes with Ferentz.

I got the sense that he's confident he can get his man. How refreshing.

I'm not worried at all.

it's a caricature/spoof of KCJohhny.

IT IS just time for a new direction.... We need to move forward and forget the last 20 years...

This fanbase needs HOPE, it has been beaten down to almost nothing over the last 3 years... You cant resell Herm to the fanbase, your credibility is riding on it... How can we spend money and trust you are going to do the right thing when you allow the HC ( whom stabbed the last GM in the back and is sucking on the teets of the owner ) to continue to drive the fanbase further away from your new franchise...

The idea of bringing up a college coach scares me. It hasn't worked so well lately.

I wish we could ban Johnny to coincide with the leaving of Carl...that would be great.

Eh, it's more fun to just laugh at him.

Pioli's "talk" with Herm:

"Do you need help cleaning your office out?"

[QUOTE=the Talking Can;5391099]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 agree with this, I also caught when he said we needed to start over and build a solid foundation.Isnt that what Herm has said he's been doing?

If they had any faith in Herm I think they would have said "We are going to continue to bulid on what Herm has started" or something to that extent.

It is interesting that on the Chiefs' website that have quotes from people around the league praising Pioli... the one guy they don't have a quote from is Herm.

I got the impression Pioli's relationship with Herm kept Herm alive.

But in the end he will go. This year. Call it professional courtesy.

Don't doubt that Pioli's signing yesterday didn't get several coach's agents rethinking their positions.

Taking a step back to look at the card table is a good move.

I have no hate for Herm but I really think Pioli at this point is doing the right thing by looking the situation over.
