NO QUESTION.

That's sad.

I got a ridiculous amount of shit for this. But it turns out, I was probably right.

Like I said before, Herm was the perfect guy for the job at the time he had it. He led the charge to bring in a youth movement and we were really 1 or 2 players away from having elite defensive personnel. Especially if Carl wasn't such a dick and let Jared Allen stay in Kansas City. He wasn't a guy you'd want to be coaching in the prime years. But in terms of the rebuild, he was a great guy for the job. Yes, Chiefs fans should be happy Herm was our head coach. It's just a shame that Pioli took a perfect situation and fumbled the ball big time.

Sad part is the players' haven't bought in since the Dick Vermiel days. How else do you explain the Indianapolis' & 49ers' franchises' turning it around the year after major suckage?


I thought the team was in love with RAC so it's hard to figure out what's going on now. Has RAC ever had a respectable defense on his own (w/o Belechick holding his hand)? He's average & above average on occasion when playing big time QBs'. There shouldn't be any question why the D is below average, the DC is below average.
Teams are usually a direct reflection of their coach.

Last year proved we have a talented team after Haley was fired. The players' showed up & beat the league MVP & a previously unbeaten team. All they did was set this franchise back years.

Chunt needs to find someone who can find the gleam.
