According to you it went..."Hey Herm...welcome to the Chiefs! You're stuck with Solari and Gun.....GOTCHA BITCH!"

Well, keep in mind that Herm and CP were best friends coming into the Chiefs relationship, and worst enemies by the time both left. And their relationship soured because Peterson never listened to Edwards. That, to me, suggests that Herm did not realize that Peterson was going to turn out to be the ultra-stubborn ass that he was in his final years. So I don't think it's outrageous to think that he didn't know before being hired that he'd be stuck with the same coordinators.
But again, I don't think Herm was terribly upset about hiring either one. But the point I continue to make is that he should have been given the choice to openly interview multiple candidates and choose the best one. The failure to bring other candidates in falls squarely from up-top. Yes, it's an assumption, but I think a lot of us would agree that if there was an open competition for the coordinator position, it is highly doubtful that he would have hired both Gun and Solari.
