Do you prefer the "old"/Vermeil style or the "new"/Herm style of play?

Marty was able to consistently make the playoffs each year with the Chiefs. A bad coach couldn't do that. DV took 2 different franchises to the SB and won one. He was able to take a below average KC O and develop it to one of the BEST the last 5 years, a Bad Coach would not be able to accomplish this.

Marty and DV were not failures as coaches here, CP failed them and the fans!

The fact that we have everyone pointing fingers at DV and Herm and comparing and contrasting their coaching ability and style is missing the big picture, and CP is laughing all the way to the bank while the "villagers" are chattering and arguing with each other like fools.

Even though I appreciate the frustration, the bottom line is that CP didn't miss the field goals against Indy, he didn't start Grbac over Gannon, and he certainly wasn't the one on the field that couldn't force the Manning-led Colts to punt in the post-season.

He assembled the players and assistant coaches that these two head coaches wanted, and it is not his fault that the resulting teams did not make it to the Super Bowl.

Carl's job is to sign players and make the organization profitable. It's the responsibility of the coaching staff to make the teams winners. About the only area where I can truly fault him is in the poor scouting that we have had through the majority of his tenure and in the poor drafts that we have had as a result.
