Chiefs Herm Likely Here One More Year... - Page 4

**Mr. Kotter** · 01:10 AM

IMHO

I'll try not to say I told you so....but my gut says Herm is back for one more year.

Think about it...

Personally, I hope I'm wrong, but it makes too much sense....if you really think about it (and you ignore Herm's "record"--which could be easy to do, given the state the Chiefs were in when he 'took over'.)

Pioli might be willing to go through one more draft with Herm (his strength) to add to the good base of young players we have. He'll then add a few key FAs with the cap space we have. Then tell Herm, "It's time to pull an Arizona or Baltimore...in 2009. Or you will be working in player personnel next year, or with another team."

No one EXPECTS the rebuild to get done in one year; so Pioli....gives lets Herm sink or swim. He could give him enough rope to hang himself, or Herm shocks the world by turning it around in one season (no "shock" really, given then NFL today.)

If Herm succeeds, Pioli adds to his legend; if Herm fails, Pioli fires him next year...none-the-worse for the one-year probation to Herm. And he gets his pick of a couple of strong head coach candidates sitting out the 2009 season. If anything, it just gives Pioli a "bye" year....to assess the team, the needs, and to develop a plan for 2010.

Thoughts?

With 15 posts a day for the last 8 years, I'd say your gut should be telling you a lot of things by now.

Like see a doctor.

Yesterday I was starting to think the same thing. But I've got to believe that when Pioli asks Herm who he wants for his Defensive Coordinator and Herm says Gunther it will be all over.
