I MUST FINALLY agree that Herm Edwards has got to go !! And I was talking with someone the other day and said that I would like to see Bill Cower come in and take over. We look pitiful, and it’s Herm’s fault. He just can’t seem to get the job done.

I agree 100% in regards to Herm not paying attention to the offense. DV was the opposite, but it wasn’t neccessarily a bad thing, we could OUTSCORE the other teams alot of the time with our mediocre defense. But Herm, all he watches is the defense… he’s wired that way and he will never change.

I like Cowher but it took him 15 years to win a super bowl.Plus he comes from CP regime just like Herm.That is not to say Cowher is anything like Herm because hes not hes a thousnd times better.But we haven’t had much luck with friends of CP. My choice is the DC of the NY Gaints the game plan he developed against the Patriots was fantastic. As you can tell I’m a defensive man. Having a grate offence looks grate is very exciting but dosen’t win super bowls defens dose.

I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an NFL team look as bad as the Chiefs have. Sure we had one good game against Denver but that must have been a fluke. I saw a fan ask the experts on ESPN the other day, “when will Herm and Carl be fired for the unbelievably terrible job that they’ve done?” The so called expert said that ownership and management are on the same page in this rebuilding process and we should be patient as fans. Now I think that we have shown patience, putting up with one lead in a game since last December, one win in the last 15 games and no offensive progress at all. Hell, no defensive progress either. I think that anyone who thinks that Herm is a better coach than Dick Vermeil is either a moron or a racist. You could give Herm the 2007 New England team and I guarantee that he would turn them into a 5 win team. Herm the Destroyer takes extraordinary talent and moulds them into his vision of what a football team or player should be. He wouldn’t like Brady to Moss scoring all those TD’s. He’d want his usual 13-10 game, only problem is his defense on most days couldn’t stop a good high school team. Please Clark Hunt, wake up and realize that the fans that fill the seats at Arrowhead are totally fed up with this regime. Time to make a change and the sooner the better. How many 3 and outs are we gonna have to put up with this year? Will LJ ever run with determination again? Looked like he almost fell over before getting hit last week at Carolina. He used to run the defender over, now he looks like Tory Holt, folding up like a dead dove before the defense has a chance to put a good hit on him. Man I’m sick of this crap!!!!!!!!

My vote would be Garrett, because he would have a chance of being here for many years (if he worked out). Cowher would probably bring immediate relief but probably not be here for more that 5-6 years before wanting to retire again. I was hoping for Garrett last year!!

Oh and my off-the-cuff picks for a new coach would be

(a) Bill Cowher – Proven winner, experienced, extremely credible, tough, no-nonsense, etc.

(b) Jason Garrett – Big risk vs. big reward kind of guy. Little experience, but highly valued and respected. No defensive experience, but a smart guy and my gut says it wouldn’t be too big for him. Would have to see how the interview went.

Of course, it’s not clear if either of these guys are available. Cowher is retired, but I think people are expecting him to get the itch back. Garrett turned down head coaching jobs last year and may be willing to wait for the Dallas job to open.

But in the end, I’d take almost any “qualified” coach over Herm at this point. Did you catch Herm saying after the Panther’s game that he “thought we started off well”? Can you believe that? That’s just another clue that he pays NO attention to the offense at all. He merely noticed we made them punt on the first drive, so that’s all he sees. So frustrating.

Steve,

I’ll admit that sometimes I may come off as too glowing towards Vermeil. However, it is usually because I get so frustrated by Herm and his supporters always trying to pass blame to Vermeil for their own mess.

Vermeil’s teams were definitely a defensive failure. However, they did make huge strides towards the end of his tenure, raising the defense to a respectable ranking, something like 15th in the NFL in 2005. It’s too bad things aligned to keep us from the playoffs in 2005, in many ways I think that may have been the best (and most rounded) Vermeil team.

Its not accurate to say LJ was the only good draft pick under Vermeil. We also drafted DJ, Jared Allen, Dustin Colquitt, just to name the top crust. We also used draft picks to get Willie Roaf, Trent Green, Patrick Surtain, Welbourne, Vermeil etc.

I’m one of the old Herm supporters and I’m here to say Herm must go. I agree with almost every thing you said. What I disagree with is what it sound like you are saying that DV was a good coach while he was in KC. He wasn’t his defences sucked and you can’t push it off on the DC it all comes back on the head coach,yes the offenses were great but they still only went to the play offs once and lost in the frist round.That to me dosen’t make you a good coach. I could be wrong but he only drafted one good player LJ. So in my life time I can only think of one great head coach Hank Stram and one OK coach Marty for the chiefs. So Please do not compare any coaches DV while he was in KC.

By the way could you tell me what head coach you would like to see in KC VLTC and why?

I think you hit the nail right on the head here… this game was pathetic! Herm can barely lead this team out of the locker room. How is he ever going to lead them to success?

We need to tear management down, and pull a Bill Parcels here. We need Marty or Bill Cowher to come in, tear it all up, and start fresh. If that takes 3 or 4 more pathetic years, let’s do it! What do we have to lose? Pride? I think that’s been gone for a few years now. Ever since Dickey V left. Ohhhh the good ole’ years.
