You ask why I post here?

Because the point is that Vermeil gave Herm nothing to work with.
They were all retired or moved on by 2008. The majority of Peterson's draft picks from 2001-2005 weren't just off the Chiefs' roster, they were out of the NFL.
The point being that Vermeil did a lousy job setting the table for Herm. He left him an old roster with no young talent and Carl made that worse by not giving Herm the flexibility to immediately start shaping that roster into a long-term vision.
Herm left Haley a young roster with some pretty decent young players with playing experience (due to Herm playing his young guys).
There is no way you can ignore that Herm left Haley in a considerably better situation than Vermeil left Herm with. How can you possibly argue with that?
