If he's nothing but a PR factory, that makes some sense. Well, at least more sense than letting him anywhere near the football. If the staff is good and he can leverage his ESPN airtime and his good old boy schtick into some good recruits, it might work. But his staff is going to have to be good and he is going to have to stay away from the football. But It's going to be a trainwreck. Because everything he's ever been in charge of is a trainwreck. |

So far I've located a broken ASU shot glass and a used bandanna from a Mexican landscape worker for Buehler's ASU care package.

Exactly. Completely has this delusion that this team should have still been competitive by year 3. Plain and simple, the team should have been blown up and it took balls to do it. And once we blew the team up, the team simply wasn't going to be good for a little while. If anything, his fault for not doing it sooner, but it sounds like Carl Peterson got in the way considering it was Peterson who insisted on the bandaid approach considering how much he tried to pushed for Huard against herms wishes.

I don't know why you insist on polishing the turd vermeil left behind. Or that anyone would waver on the idea that this team needed to be blown up. |

It’s all in this thread. Quote:
If anyone can look at that final roster and still blame Vermiel is nothing but a white knighted. Plain and simple. There is nothing at all defensible about the job Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards did here, other than maybe the balls to blow it up. But having balls does not equate to competency and does not preclude you from wrecking the ****ing franchise. Which he did. I’m not going to go through it with you in here. This could potentially be an otherwise funny thread and I’m not going to muck it up with disapproving your dumb**** white knoghting of this asshat. Besides, there is nothing left to argue. It’s all in the thread above and the other ASU thread. Let it go man. You were wrong. It happens. |

Yup, zilla was owned time and time again on the issue...now he's doubling down on stupid by saying the same wrong things over and over again. It's unbelievable.

Did vermeil leave behind the oldest roster in football? Yes. Did vermeil leave behind a team that was in cap trouble in 2003, then bought contracts on credit the next 2 years moving our cap to catastrophic by 2005? Yes. Did vermeil draft well? Average? No. His draft classes were horrendous He is the only coach in 20 years that didn't trade an arm and a leg for a qb. Should he have? No, terrible idea. Could he have drafted one? There literally isn't a single qb until Flacco in 2015 who the Chiefs could have gotten without a very aggressive trade up. Dispute any of those facts. It's funny that the only people saying I'm getting owned are the most overreactionary herm haters out there. There are a lot of chiefs fans here who are plenty critical that recognize that herm, as flawed of a coach that he was, made the right decision to blow this team up and that 2008 was going to suck no matter who was coach. I can't believe there are people out there who seriously think vermeils 2008 leftovers weren't worth blowing up. |

The Chiefs had cap space in year 3. That doesn't mean they should have spent it. In case you were wondering they were still paying priest Holmes several million in dead money by 2008. Vermeil ****ed the cap in 2003. He then restructured, backloaded contracts like a madman until 2005 when we were in cap hell. Herm is the only coach in 20 years to not trade the moon for a qb... Perhaps that would have made you happy - it could have bought us a few wins to get us to your precious 6-10 mark. This team needed to be blown up. Not bandaided. Not saved. Blown the hell up. And thank God we had a coach with the balls to do it instead of trading for Chad Pennington and wasting money on a bunch of middling veterans so we could sell the team on a quicker road to 8-8. As if we haven't done that a million times before. |
