Chiefs In the end, Carl Peterson was right.

SenselessChiefsFan · 01-25-2009, 03:55 PM

For the record, I was not Herm's biggest fan. However, Herm was the only coach we have had that had the courage to tear it all down and start over. To really build something. Not just keep reaching in the draft for need and throwing patchwork free agents at the problems.

For that, I am sincerely grateful. The Chiefs are in FAR better shape now than they were three years ago when he took over.

They have a ton of young talent and they have salary cap room. They lack a few pieces, but overall, the next coach takes over a team that needs to be built upon, not torn down.

In the end, CP was right to keep throwing free agents at the situation. The fans in KC don't have the stomach to do what is right for the organization. Herm either needed to do it in his first year, or not do it at all.

IF Herm had stuck with the KC way, the Chiefs certainly would not be any closer to a championship than they have been in the last 20 years, but Herm would probably have his job.

Again, I am not saying I want Herm back. I am glad to move on. But, I do appreciate what he has done and realize that CP knew the fans better than they ever knew themselves.

I guess the truth hurts a little when it is too close to home.

You act like gutting this roster and starting over was something ONLY Herm could do.

**MahiMike** · 01-25-2009, 03:59 PM

I'm so glad Herm was here too. His ineptness allowed us to replace not only him but the GM that hired him in the 1st place.

I knew this shit was coming, but I didn't think it was going to happen so soon. Congrats on being the first to create a "I miss/love Carl" thread.

I guess you're a moron who doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.

I didn't want free agent signings to patch up this team. I wanted young players, who were being coached by competent coaches that could put them in the best position to be successful.

If you think Herm put players in the best positions for them to be successful then you are a bigger reerun than I imagined.

No kidding.

The Pioli honeymoon has lasted all but 12 days.

I don't know about Carl being right, not sure he was guy who should've been in charge of rebuilding something, and I'm not sure he really wanted it to begin with.

But I'd agree that I've said since 2001 all the people who wanted an enema to go 2-14 for a couple years just so we can get some high draft picks to build a team would have a hard time stomaching what it actually looked like. But that's not a surprise. It is difficult to look good or like you're improving in order to lose enough games to get a top 5 pick.

No. I am acting like it was something ONLY Herm was willing to do.

MGRS13 · 01-25-2009, 04:02 PM

Yea Herm did such a great job we ONLY lack a few pieces, let see.....QB,center,right gaurd,right tackle, wide receiver, wide receiver,running back,left D end,right D end,MLB,SLB,WLB,safety and another D tackle. Yep only a few pieces great job Herm, such an eye for talent.
