I wish you people would get rid of the hard on you have for Cowher, as long as Carl and Clark are in charge of this organization it doesn’t matter not one damned bit who the HC is.
Now let it frickin’ rest, will ya!?!?

Well the 2008 season is a bust. For a coach that calls plays to win, he doesn’t (look how the Jets ended up under his watch). Herm may be a good man, however, the Chiefs are playing like Chefs under his command. After the season the ownership needs to cut Herm lose and hire a proven winner, Bill Cowher. After Coach Cowher left the Chiefs to become Head coach of the Steelers, they have had one of the best defenses since. Under Cowher, the Steelers were at the top or close to it and made it to the Super Bowl (twice) and won once. Under Herm the Chiefs will never make it even close. Additionally Chan Gailey was once the Off. Coordinator under Cowher before leaving for Dallas to be their Head Coach. Coach Cowher is a Win, Win for the team and will make the Chiefs again feared and unbeatable at Arrowhead.

I have been a Die hard fan for 19 seasons now and the fact that we have only won one game in the last 19 is very hard to swallow. But I too have faith in God and faith in this team. The Chiefs are like a marriage for good times and bad for sickness and blah blah. Anyways this team is young and they look like a unpolished diamond in the rough. This is the early 90s repeating itself. Our D is going to be the shit soon. Remember the cowboys went 1-15 in 1990-91. 11-5 in 1991-92 and won back to back Superbowls in 93 ans 94. My point is all good things come to those who wait. Patience is a virtue and Damn it Fire the Devil of this organization Carl Peterson. King Carl is the Dumbshit that makes the behind the scenes calling the shots by letting the media attack Herm every Sunday. Put King Carl on the interviews but he is too chicken shit to face the music. Look in the 20 years he has been here at all the talent he has broght here and we should have been to the superbowl at least once by now. Clark Hunt needs to become a cut throat unlike his Father a well respected man but put aside his personal feelings with peterson and cut a man loose. King Carl has become dead weight and he is bringing us all down with him. I see it and I know all chiefs fans see it i am keeping it real so sorry Peterson You are the Goerge Bush of GMs and it is time for a change in 2009 for america it is time for a change at GM in KC. GO CHIEFS Love yall No matter what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris

I understand your anger and frustration, but not sure I agree with the direction it is focused. Clark is really a first year owner, learning along the way. Unfortunately, this scenario was probably necessary in order for him to have the balls to make the changes needed. I do agree with the CP statement, but do you really believe that our roster has such limited talent that Herm isn’t responsible for the end result?

I believe we have struggled far more from decision making than actual execution. True, the execution has not always been there, but it seems that there are examples in every game in which Herm has made a questionable call. Some have been offensive, some defensive, some regarding time management, or challenging a call (like Sunday).

I too believe in supporting our team and the players. Not sure I believe in going to the games, as much as I love Arrowhead. The most obvious objection fans can make is not paying for tickets or showing up to games. When revenue starts to slide, because it is a business, it forces management and ownership to take notice.

Hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving.

This must be at least the 5th time this year that someone has said that this lose could be the worst in Chiefs history. How many worst loses can Herm be in charge of and keep his job. I would have been fired from my job long ago if i perform like he does.

Great article Nathan! I too will bleed Red and Gold, in the good and bad times, as long as I live. To use a bible verse – Hebrews 11:1(The Message translation)
The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.
We as fans have faith in what is going on at this time and don’t truly know what the future holds for our beloved Chiefs but when it all comes together, I believe sooner than later, only the TRUE fans can look back and really enjoy the sweetness of every victory the Chiefs will have after having to go through these hard times.

1-20 in the last 21 games! How does Herm keep his job? I do not understand this. It must be deliberate.

Clark Hunt is the worst owner in football,Carl Peterson is the worst GM in football,30+ million dollars under the salery cap.Know wonder we suck it would be nice if these two ASSHOLES would actully get Herm some real players and not some cast offs from other teams.There so bad ill watch at home with a paper bag on.Fuck Off Clark Hunt.

Nathan, I agree with most of what you said. I disagree with the bag over your head comment. I live out-of-state and still proudly were my Chiefs stuff. I just prepare myself for all the wise cracks I am going to have to take. No need to hide your face at the game, no one is watching it anyway.

It is the year of “Change”. Herm needs to do us Chiefs fans a favor, and change his “latitude”–like go coach a division rival (maybe Oakland). After achieving yet another Chiefs record this week, giving up 54 points at home, he still won’t take any responsibility. I suppose some of his supporters will come out and say, at least we scored 31 points, the offense looked good (even though we had 5 turnovers). Or they will make the excuse that we have too many injuries. The fact is we lost again.
When asked about the coaching position at SDSU, he replied something like “I have a college team, I’m coaching this one”. I wonder how LJ, DJ, DE and TG feel about playing on a “college team” as their head coach calls it. I’m sure the local media will let him off on that comment. I would think LJ would be more upset about that one than the diaper comment by DV. The media runs this country, they can get anyone elected or fired, loved or hated, that they want. I guess they want Herm to be the coach, because they let him off the hook every week.
