Chiefs Herm Likely Here One More Year... - Page 3

**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?

If Herm makes it out of the day as Chiefs HC, I'll be surprised.......

**Iowanian** · 01-14-2009, 07:40 AM

I saw herm coming in this morning in his special suit.

Ray farmer wasn't too far behind

"Mr Pioli would like to see you coach, bring your playbook"

There is absolutely no basis for keeping Herm one more year.

None.

You can stretch and slice it anyway you want. He's got a record of 15-33.

Herm had enough rope to hang himself this year. I do not want this loser apart of this orgranization one more day, let alone one more season.

Some of you want to act like this is his first coaching job and he'll improve. He's made the same mistakes OVER and OVER. He will never learn. He will stay the same stubborn ass he's always been.

When is he going to fix the defense?

I pity any team that decides Herm is a good fit for them.

Will someone change the title of the thread, it's horribly misleading.

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.

Yep. Plus add to the fact that Steve Spagnulo was in Dallas interviewing yesterday says it all.

they were 10-6 in vermeil's last year. he has turned them into a 2-14 team. this does not seem like progress to me.

He was not in Dallas.

The Giants GM said yesterday that the Chiefs never called to ask permission to speak with Spags.

I've found a song that describes the true fans' desire to keep herm one more year.

Chorus

One more year
One more dime
One more season, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more year with you

First thing I'd do, is pray a new left tackle
Then I'd unzip my pants
And keep my brain turned off
I'd herm you ever second
say wins don't matter to me
Thats what I'd do, with one more year with you

Chorus

Leave me wishing still, for one more year
Leave me wishing still, for one more year

Please, I don't ever want to see that face again.

This

And, Mr. Kotter (can't say just Kotter ... gotta be Mr.), if Pioli keeps Herm it will mean he is not the GM we all thought he is. Herm just hasn't lost games ... it's his coaching ability. He is simply not a SB winning coach. Has to rely upon Curl for basic decision ... nuf said.

Yes, anything is possible but if Herm stay my expectations of this GM goes way down.

He's out the door. That's not a tough decision to make at all.
