I heard the report and Smith did emphasize it was a longshot. The Chiefs problems weren’t merely youth, Herm and his band are inept. If he was coach of Atlanta or Baltimore does anyone believe they wouldn’t be sin the basement? That said I won’t be optimistic until I see the crawll on espn his sorry ass is gone.

Yeah, it may be a bit preemptive (and I might wind up wrong), but there it is.

to not flip out if Herm was retained because Clark seems to be so fond of him. However, i agree with Frank Boal that if Herm is retained the fan enthusiasm created by Pioli’s hire isn’t necessarily erased, but it has to be lessened. Speaking only for myself, mine will.

they give him an extension, what has he done to warrant that? How many free agents would sign here? It would be a lame duck year, it would do more Harm than good.

Said that Pioli was coming in with ‘an open mind’ and said that the final decision would be Clark Hunt’s and that Hunt has said that he would prefer to keep Herm.

Just killed my excitement for the upcoming season. Here comes more of the same if it is the case.0-16, here we go.

a good thing, and as such has invigorated the fan base. The only way to deflate that invigoration would be to retain Herm Edwards as the head coach thus confirming that both Clark Hunt and Scott Pioli have lost their ever loving minds. I have already stated that I am not going to rejoice on Herm’s departure until such time as I actually see him fading into the sunset. Could Clark Hunt screw this whole thing up BIG TIME? You better believe it because he has probably already had the conversation with Pioli about Herm staying. If Clarky baby does retain Herm, I will have lost all respect for the man.

What really gets me s that I keep hearing the blame put on Carl for resisting the rebuild, inhibiting Herm, Herm was powerless etc. Carl always let his coaches have a large say in personnel. Carl always gave his coaches control over replacing his assistant coaches. The 2008 Chiefs are accepted to be built upon “Herm’s plan.” From an objective standpoint, they went 2-14. From a subjective one, they were assembled irresponsibly. That team is 30 million over the salary cap and avoided acquiring any veteran players to help the youngsters along. You think those young players lost the close games and that’s not Herm’s fault? Don’t stock your team with rookie starters then. Don’t build a team where the main criteria for a roster spot is “youth.” Youth is not, in itself, a football skill. Don’t come into town saying you’ll run the ball and stop the run – and then fail to do either. Don’t make fun of the previous regime for being an offensive circus when that coach at least went 13-3 one season and gained a #1 seed in the AFC playoffs. Herm has barely broken 13 wins in three seasons.

This would be lunacy.

I highly doubt clark would nix pioli’s decision to nix herm if/when that happens. I could however see pioli give herm fair consideration out of respect for clark’s public support of herm. you know… as a show of good faith!

Herm came here as a shortcut to a superbowl. He thought all he had to do was fix the defense. Herm are you going to mess with the offense? No I am no dummy you don’t mess with a good thing. We gonna play defense, to play defense you have to get dirty, alot of guys do not like to get dirty, we gonna get dirty.

You’d think as a business owner you’d want to reinvigorate your customer base since 90% of can’t stand Herm Edwards at all..Seriously, I refuse to put up with one more damn year of this clown on our sidelines..I’m tired of hearing him talk, his crappy excuses, and his love for keeping games close..He is one of the leagues worst coaches..If we’re ever in need of a good motivator let’s just put on a denzel washington movie for the players because that is all Herm is good for..Seriously, i don’t care who ya bring in but don’t leave herm in charge.

“We’re not gonna score 30 points a game, that’s arena league” Herm please leave

Bud you need to drop that kool-aid cup if you think Herman Edwards is a good coach. His losing recod from his entire time as a head coach should be enough to convince anyone that he is not an NFL caliber coach. If I preformed that way at my job I woul;d have been fired long ago. Any person that thinks Brokie Croyle(see Herm) is good enough to be a back-up water boy let alone a QB especially looking at how he was injured most of his college career is simply moronic. I’m sorry but stats don’t lie. The only reason he was even drafted was because of his Senior year, the only one btw he was healthy enough to play all the games in.

He has done nothing but whine about the players being young. He did that to himself . I can count 3 real veterans that spent any time on the field this season. Tony G., Waters & Derick Johnson. The rest of the only 6 or 8 veterans we had hardly played due to injury. His blatant misuse of Dorsey is also inexcusible. His terrible clock management. I mean he came here he had the opprotunity to bring in other coaches, and didn’t change any. Gunther should have been let go immediately after the 2007 season, but was kept because he whined about the lack of talent(just like Herm), but didn’t take any responsibility for his own shortcomings as a coach. Much as Solari was let go because he obviously couldn’t get the job done.

I could go on and on as to factual reasons that Herm, and the rest of the staff, should be fired at 5:01p.m. tonight. but I’m not going to. Most of us already know them, but seriously you Herm bandwagoners can stay on it. Just do the realists a favor and please go to what ever team he lands on.

There goes that idea.

Never quite understood that arguement..That is why I am scared of keeping herm..I know we’re going to improve but really we will NEVER EVER win a superbowl with him because he is not capable..The guy just doesn’t have the ability to coach the hell out of a game..He’s been poorly coaching games since his first season with the Jets..Even before he came here, jets fans couldn’t stand his game management..

This isn’t an urban legend and it’s not a rumor..Herm isn’t a great coach..Let’s find someone who is!

We could not get GM search news, but now there are leaks about Herms future? It is Carl messing with the Chiefs fans minds!

But honestly, would you rather work a few hours on Sunday talking about it or work 100 hours a week coaching it? IMO Cowher isn’t coming back to the sidelines anytime soon if ever. I could be wrong. Vermile did it after many years of being in the booth, but I just don’t see Bill wanting to come back. Especially if it’s not on his own terms. And from what rumors I’m sure we’ve all heard Shanny has talked to the organization about the job.

I’m a sucker for continuing these pointless arguments – in this case because I cannot for the life of me understand why a current Chiefs fan would desire more Herm…

In the top of the hour SportsCenter on ESPN Radio just now, it was reported that Chris Mortensen has a story that, with McDaniels already signed in Denver and Ferentz saying that he intends to stay in Iowa, Pioli is likely to keep Herm Edwards as Chiefs Head Coach.

If Bill Belichic were to resign in New England, would Scott hire Herm for that job? There is no way he even gets consideration.

Scott we have 85% of the team built, with 90-95% returning. How fast could fired coming out of ones mouth? Scott we lost this game due to my poor game management, oh never mind Herm would never hold himself accountable for his own actions.
