You obviously know some things that I don't with your 2nd paragraph. I agree - it smells like Carl - but it tastes like BucBall to me.

Herm's a Marty man, conservative is his MO. But I'm wondering if the King isn't dead-set against anything stinking before he walks after 2009. He's leaving for sure, and not early IMHO, but it would be a nasty punctuation mark on his career if the Chiefs went 4-12, 5-11 his last two seasons as GM. He doesn't have a signature season to distract people from a bad, bad couple of seasons. His thinking (and I am guessing here) is for the team to not look like crap so
that's not what people outside KC remember about him.
