Debating Herm's Future

A little good news...

Head coach Herm Edwards might be standing behind the Chiefs’ decision to inject youth into the roster in an effort to rebuild, but from what we hear, his job is far from safe. Edwards, a loser of 22 of his past 24 games, has some support in Kansas City from owner Clark Hunt, but the recent resignation of GM Carl Peterson — Edwards’ close friend — doesn’t bode well for the coach’s future. Regardless of whom Hunt hires to replace Peterson, the new GM will have plenty of reason to justify cutting Edwards loose. Besides his abysmal record, the coach has mishandled some of the team’s younger talent, especially DT Glenn Dorsey, who we understand has been used in a puzzling capacity during his rookie campaign. Also, Edwards repeatedly has absolved his coaching staff of any blame, instead pointing the finger at his players; in reality, the coaches are as much at fault as anyone for their 2-13 record. When all’s said and done in K.C., it’s very likely that the next GM will want to begin his regime with a fresh head coach in place.
