Again, the Chiefs prior to Herm Edwards getting hired were the oldest team in the NFL and had about a 15% success rate in the draft for the 5 years prior. I'm pretty sure they were the bottom of the heap in both dimensions, which makes the Chiefs very uniquely bad. Worse, while most new coaches are allowed to blow up a limping team, Peterson insisted that Herm "win now". Need evidence of that? Explain why a team that is rebuilding signs Donnie Edwards, Ty Law, and Damion McIntosh--third contract players.
Keep in mind that when Vermeil came into town, he inherited a fairly young team with a lot of cap space (the Chiefs "rebuilt" during the Gunther Cunningham head coaching era). Vermeil > Herm. And Herm's gameday decisions probably don't earn him the right to come back, but we need to quit acting like he's the main reason this team hasn't rebuilt in 3 years. The situation Carl Peterson gave Herm Edwards was far worse than any situation I've seen in a very long time.

Even if we take your point in to account, that still doesn't do anything for Herm's god-awful field generalship.
