If Peterson is fired, should/will Herm be retained?

And of course I continue to hold out hope for my 3 favorite people in football to become the face of the Chiefs... Vermeil as GM, Mike Martz as head coach and Al Saunders as offensive coordinator

I know you're not joking but I still hope. Vermeil is too loyal to his players to be a good GM here. The consensus seems to be CP's problems are that his drafts have been lackluster and that he has been unwilling to take the steps necessary to put a winning team together. DV might be a better drafter (ok, probably) but I don't see him coming in and "cleaning house" with the players he just coached. Everyone seems to think that Martz is such a great coach but the way plays were called in STL makes me think that any ability he has must be tempered by a strong coach who could keep him from getting cute. I wouldn't want him to coach anything without a tight leash. Which brings up Al. Al had cuteness problems of his own as well as an ego that shouldn't be anywhere near Martz. It would be like storing your gas next to the strike-anywhere matches. All three might be good someplace just not here and for the Love of God not together.

I'm not completely serious on Vermeil as GM, although I'd love to see him in some front office capacity with the Chiefs, but I'm dead-on serious about wanting Mike Martz to be the head coach and Al Saunders to return as assistant head coach/offensive coordinator.
