All players CP/Herm passed on to build a team from the ground up, the way champions are built!

If we would have signed those guys it would have been worth at least a 8 point swing and that would have garnered us 10 wins adn no talk about firing herm would be running rampant.

Instead he took the high road and chose to give the experience to the young guys and take his lumps now

Back in the day when Tom Landry coached, he went through a similar situation with youth and went 1-13, he was "rewarded" with a ten year contract and won three superbowls with that team he drafted and developed!

Tom Coughlin was going to be fired before his run of what can turn out to be multiple superbowls

Dick Vermiel was looked at as a coach that the game had passed by until he won the superbowl after following a 3-13 season

Jeff Fisher was almost ran out of town because of his rebuild

Jimmy Johnson was being touted as another college coach bust in the NFL after a 1-15 season prior to his 8-8 and then superbowl year with all kids he drafted or got at a very young age and the remainder of the roster he tool from rivals (haley, Deion, etc..)

I could go on for hours about coaches ALL OF YOU WOULD HAVE FIRED PREMATURLY!

Get a grip, Clark is going to do the right thing whether it be to keep Herm, or to let him move on.

It sure wouldnt be fair to Herm to release him after the period where coaches are being hired...shit, Eric Mangini already has a job.....

Landry was from an expansion team. When he had a record like that again he was fired. Johnson took over Landry's mess. Coughlin started a rookie QB and was going to be fired not for their play on the field, but his actions off. He has since learned to relax a bit. For Fisher, getting a franchise to its only Super Bowl buys you a little time.

The commonality of these coaches is they had one atrocious season, not two horrendous seasons. Dungy was fired in Tampa because he couldn't pull them over the top and was replaced by someone who couldn't get his team over the top. If both had stayed put most likely neither would have been in the Super Bowl.

You cannot call consecutive season of 4-12 and 2-14 premature. That would have been like declaring McCain the winner of the election the one day that he was ahead of Obama in the polls. Get a grip. Herm has not proven that he has the scheme or the ability to take this team beyond. He had the Jets not even as good as the Chiefs were when he took over, and brought them down. Was he rebuilding his own mistakes in New York? I'm not buying the rebuilding excuse. This team is just plain bad in talent and execution. I don't see giving a shot to a young guy you know will never make it just because he is a young guy. The offensive line we put out there this year should have never seen the light of day.
