Chiefs Herm Likely Here One More Year... - Page 2

**Mr. Kotter** · 01:10 AM

IMHO

I'll try not to say I told you so....but my gut says Herm is back for one more year.

Think about it...

Personally, I hope I'm wrong, but it makes too much sense....if you really think about it (and you ignore Herm's "record"--which could be easy to do, given the state the Chiefs were in when he 'took over'.)

Pioli might be willing to go through one more draft with Herm (his strength) to add to the good base of young players we have. He'll then add a few key FAs with the cap space we have. Then tell Herm, "It's time to pull an Arizona or Baltimore...in 2009. Or you will be working in player personnel next year, or with another team."

No one EXPECTS the rebuild to get done in one year; so Pioli....gives lets Herm sink or swim. He could give him enough rope to hang himself, or Herm shocks the world by turning it around in one season (no "shock" really, given then NFL today.)

If Herm succeeds, Pioli adds to his legend; if Herm fails, Pioli fires him next year...none-the-worse for the one-year probation to Herm. And he gets his pick of a couple of strong head coach candidates sitting out the 2009 season. If anything, it just gives Pioli a "bye" year....to assess the team, the needs, and to develop a plan for 2010.

Thoughts?

Is Herm buying season tickets?

That is the ONLY way he is here next year...

A GM of Pioli's caliber is not going to assocaite with losers like Herm...

No ****ing way!

So the most sought after GM candidate in the league is going to keep this shitty coach.....the odds of that are below 1%.

Nice title for a thread based solely upon a clueless, no-nothing opinion.

Pioli will take one look at Herm and then start laughing. Then he'll say "you think that's funny?" Then he'll start stabbing. Then he'll call out for canoli. Then he'll get on his Wii Fit before disposing of the body.

The mere fact that Herm learned through the media that Pioli got hired and no one consulted him on it is pretty telling IMO.

Yes. And add to that the odd silence out of Arrowhead.

You'd think they would be trying to staunch the gossip about Herm Edwards getting fired that is all over ESPN.

One call to John Clayton or a short press conference would end all of those damaging rumors.

Pioli wouldn't have taken the job unless Herm's departure had been part of the package. The idea the Pioli would want to keep a lame duck Herm Edwards for a year is ludicrous.

Clark said they'd have the decision made by the time a GM was hired.

Herm's fate is sealed, we just don't know 'officially' know it.
