DV and AS did a fabulous job here in KC. The team that Herm inherited was not in shambles unlike what DV inherited. Comparing the two is an APPLES To Oranges comparison. People like htis are "black and white" in their analysis and critiques.
The real problem is not the HC staff, but the common denominator that each HC has, namely CP!
It's a collective effort within the whole organization that ultimately determines who succeeds each year or not.
Marty and DV could have and Herm can succeed here if CP was not part of the equation.
I think my point will be proven this year expecially if Marty can take SD to the AFC Championship and beyond. I look at that team and the balance of offensive and defensive playmakers and I credit the GM's abilities for making that happen whereas during the 90's KC was dominate on D for most of the decade and below average at best on O. Marty did the best he could with what he had. CP did not do his job in helping Marty complete the team. The result was HEARTACHE for CHief's fans followed by IMPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same can be said with DV/AS but it was the Offense that was dominate and the D lacking!
Once CP leaves, finding the right GM will be key!
