That's pretty funny that anytime anybody says anything 1% positive of Herm, that's the impression people get.
I've said multiple times that Herm is not a good gameday coach. But if you're going to blame the Chiefs for personnel problems, blame the right person. There's debate about whether Herm can coach up players. But it is undebatable that from a personnel standpoint, Carl Peterson screwed this roster up from 1999-2005 by bringing in worthless but expensive free agents, extending contracts for players like Bartee who sucked, and being the worst drafting team in the NFL. I don't know the exact stats, but I believe they were both among the worst drafters in the NFL AND the oldest team in the NFL. That's a really bad combination. So when we talk about developing players, realize that while most teams have a strong foundation of young players to work with, Herm has been forced to rely on more second day draft picks and undrafted players than most coaches would ever have to work with.
Blame coaching decisions and arguably development of players on Herm. Blame the personnel/rebuild problems on Carl. That's all I'm saying.
