Chiefs WHITLOCK - Herm is innocent, Carl is evil

It'll come across as defending all the head coaches, and I guess it is to a point. But it's funny how all these coaches we bring in seem to become frustrated that things aren't quite what they expected.

Not that Herm is Belichick, don't take it the other way. But the guy did make the playoffs 3 times in 5 years in New York...and he turned a good chunk of that roster over. He's made the playoffs 4 times, most NFL coaches don't last long enough to do that. DV coached teams to the Super Bowl in his other stops. And I'd agree he had some GM help in St. Louis, but he still coached that team, let his coordinators do their thing, they got better and stayed afloat when they put in some nobody at QB. Even Marty built a Super Bowl caliber team in Cleveland, and really built one in San Diego too.

You just get the feeling that if Gonzo or LJ would go somewhere else, they'd light it up again. Or if DV or Herm went somewhere else... not that they'd win a Super Bowl, but they'd probably do better than they did here. And here it's just another disappointment.
