It's pretty widely known that Carl was handcuffing Herm in the early years. It wasn't until Herm and Kuharich were given the independence to make decisions and Carl got pushed to the side that the Chiefs started to make great personnel moves.

Herm wasn't given a lot of resources. He wasn't given a lot of money to spend. And until 2008, he didn't have a lot of marquee draft picks to work with. I can only imagine how our roster would have looked if Peterson: a) didn't **** up all the Vermeil drafts; b) didn't stupidly push Jared Allen out of town; c) didn't force the team to build now instead of rebuild when it was too late.

For as much shit as Herm got, he did just fine. And if the Chiefs ran a 4-3 today, they wouldn't be far away from a terrific defense.
