What a ****ing pussy. Now our coach is turning into another Goddammed Vermiel. [sarcasm]

this is the biggest fluff piece I've ever seen Joe write. I agree totally with Clayton, its like having a French general come address the army. Really no need.

What was it Zach once said about the two football coaches he had in high school? Something about one coach preparing the team and the other being a great speaker...guess which one won more games...

I searched for the post but couldn't find it.

Quoted for truth!

for the "bashers" honestly how many more games do you think this team could have won with a "better" coach? do you really think we had the talent to do better than 4-12. heck all i see is people saying how many holes this team has.

Hell no. Face it the Army is never home, the US has global Army not one that sits at home and waits for shit to happen.

Good article, but Herm ****ing sucks as a head coach.

Great motivator, players play hard for him. Well shit they have to. If not they will be shipped out......rightfully so.

The only similarity to war and football is that as a general and a HC, you are leading a group of men and that's really about it.

[StcChief]

well if Herm can motivate them, Gailey/Gun/Pheiffer can coach 'em. will we be 4-12/5-11/6-10 likely, but we are rebuilding. Carl's about done.....

the future of a good Chief team is coming .... patience, it's a virtue. young grasshoppers

[blueballs]

A coach can only be as good as his GM lets him be -it's a team game in management also
in NY Broadway(a Peterson prodigy) was a complete joke
You do notice Herm(now) is not letting Carl run the show the same way he has for going on2 decades

[blueballs]

Larry Johnson, got hurt when the Chiefs had a winning record (4-3) and were beating the Green Bay Packers.

what a co-inky dink

Great article -- Joe is a great sports columnist. I always appreciate how well he knows his subjects. He writes and he reports, and has great insight into human culture and emotions. Po delivers -- That's much harder to do than you think.

Joe writes a wonderful blog. Here's the link: http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/

Not to forget:

Now, finally, Edwards is being given a fair shot. The Chiefs had what they (and most other draft analysts) considered a spectacular draft. They got 12 players — including their dream choice Glenn Dorsey — and added another nine college free agents. They will go to River Falls, Wis., this July with perhaps the youngest team in pro football. This is exactly what Edwards wanted. He knew they would have to blow things up. The feeling at Arrowhead is that the Chiefs are on the right track, they have rebuilt their core, they have broken away from the failed policies of the last decade.
