Herm is a joke of a coach. There's a reason he wasn't going to take a DC job after he left KC. He can't do it. There's a reason the Jets were going to fire him.
KC lost draft picks to acquire a 4-12 coach who was going to get fired anyway. The team not only declined every season, but actually declined as the season progressed. I can't believe anyone would still defend this clown.
His only claim to fame was that Carl Traded Jared Allen netting a load of picks in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory. A person could have thrown darts at a list while blindfolded and hit on half of those picks.

The issue is that the herm critics are blaming herm 100% for vermeils failures. Nobody is saying vermeil is 100% responsible for herms failures. Herm wasn't a good coach. We all acknowledge that.
More importantly, his haters are feeding the illusion that he took a good team and sent it to the trash. That's complete nonsense. He inherited a ticking time bomb and he had two losing seasons because he made the right decision to blow the roster up. Maybe bad coaching costed the team a few wins. But they still would have been a losing team regardless of who coached them.
Herm was not a good coach. But that's separate from what he did with personnel.
