This will be a classic case of how a great coordinator does not equal a great head coach.

Here's hoping.

So unless some other team, say the Cowboys, fire their head coach that means the Chiefs are the last one to make any kind of decision.

I'm confused by the constant sense of urgency. Are you guys looking for the fastest decision, or the best decision? Pioli's been hired for what? about a week now? Yeesh...

Do you think it should take a week to fire Herm Edwards? It should take all of about 5 minutes. The guy is 6-26 the last 2 years I don't understand what is so hard about this decision.

I posted about this before, based on my observations of the Pioli introductory presser. I predicted Herm would get the axe "within two weeks" from the date of the press conference.

It looked clear to me that Clark wanted to have Pioli evaluate Herm thoroughly.

Also, you're not thinking clearly. Herm knows the current roster much better than Pioli. Pioli would be a total moron not to grill Herm thoroughly about each and every player -- his strenghts and weaknesses, whether Herm thinks he'd fit well in a 3-4, his personality and ocmmitment to football, etc. etc. etc.

Pioli is not a moron.

Your urgency to fire Herm is because you hate him and fear he might stay. Pioli NEEDS him for a few weeks to suck him dry of all possible information.

What's more important -- what Pioli needs to get from him, or your emotional reaction to the situation?

Well obviously the most important thing is my emotional reaction.

As for the rest I don't get why he would care what Herm thinks of his players because obviously he doesn't really know what he is doing or what he is talking about. As of right now I trust Pioli's limited knowledge of this roster over Herm's.

Also if you go back and look at what the Dolphins did last year, they hired Parcells and Jeff Ireland and the next day they fired Cam Cameron. That is what they should have done here. There is no reason for Herm to still be here a week later especially with Senior Bowl week starting today.

That's exactly the way I see it. People are disappointed because they aren't getting the quick axe, but the word from day 1 has been 'methodical'.

I think everyone is just getting scared that all the good candidates are gone, and we will be stuck with Herm.

Mr_Tomahawk · 01-19-2009, 08:13 AM

Eh...give it time. We knew nothing was going to happen over the weekend. We know that Clark...and now Pioli, do not let much info leak out to the media. He has been in office for a week...probably still has much of his stuff in boxes in his office. ...and finally, not harping on anyone's football IQ here, but Pioli probably knows more possible coaching candidates out there than any of us do. When some of us can't think of anymore prospects...ie the candidate the media are big on...people tend to freak out. Patients. We did not hear anything for a few weeks about our GM position and the same thing was happening. Just be patient.

...oh and I am anti-hermroid.
