I would be curious to see what Pioli will do. It has been well established in here the both Pioli and Edwards' philosophy does not match. However, the issue here is that Clark was really wanting to keep Herm around for another year, for whatever unknown reasons.
To me, it makes more sense to let Herm walk, and get the available coaches that are out there (Spagnuolo, Frazier, Ryan, etc.) so that the new coach can implement his own assistants and his system, and get the players that both matches Pioli and the coach's philosophy in 2009, and depending on the Draft and FA signings, that this year should show some (hopefully) improvement, with the goal of contending for the playoffs in 2010, along with the fact that Arrowhead Stadium will be fully remodeled, which would really energize the fan base.
If Herm is retained, and bombs out again (this is very probable, since the man can't coach, along with his assistants), then the Chiefs just completely wasted a year.
Of course, there are one year wonders that can occur (see Smith, Sparano) so that could be a possibility.
