As SP indicated you can't evaluate a player unless you know what he was told. Me and you can watch a player and speculate he is playing too aggressively or too soft or missed or an assignment or made a bad pass or ran a route wrong. But unless we know exactly what play was called an the directions given to the player it is just a guess.
What ever your opinion of the overall talent of Herm is the fact is he know way more about the KC players at this moment than SP. If SP fires him on day one he has no shot at any of that info. If he interviews Herm for 16 hours over three days and then fires him he will have considerable more insight on the players he has to work with.

Then I would think you would keep Gailey and Gunther around. I doubt Herm knows the complete ins and outs of the offensive and defensive playbooks.
Besides, I am pretty sure that this is broken down on film after every game. Pioli shouldn't need anyone to hold his hand.
