I paraphrased his quotes slightly, but those were pretty much the words that came out of his mouth in an interview I heard on 810. We have all heard about Herm being a players coach....but seriously? I'm torn between the selfishness of seeing Tony Gonzalez finishing his career as a Chief vs giving him a chance to finish his career with a chance to goto the playoffs let alone a Super Bowl. Yes I'm a homer....but I (I'm sure along with every other Chiefs fan) would love to see one of those miracle comebacks such as the ones put together by Miami and Atlanta this year. Tony....you gotta see....it's possible to turn things around in a rookie coaches 1st year with an NFL team. Even 2 other rookie coaches in Baltimore (going to the playoffs) and Washington (falling apart at the end of the year) had success in their rookie coaches debut. I have confidence in Clark Hunt making a good, calculated decision regarding our new GM.....and as a result will have confidence in our new GM's decision in regards to Herm Edwards. Although I must admit I am nervous about that particular decision. As I often hear the sports talk heads pose the question to callers calling for Herms head in the past...."who else is out there who could come in and do a better job?" Because I hate to be the bearer of bad news to all the Chiefs fans out there but we probably have about a 0.05% chance of getting Bill Cowher to come to Kansas City and coaching this team.

If the Chiefs somehow paid Suggs AND Peppers...think about that, add in those 2 to that D, trade back and take Rey M from USC, that Puts DJ/Rey/Suggs, adds peppers to the line with Turk rotating in and Tank/Dorsey in the middle Hali on the other side. Page/Pollard/Morgan/Flowers/Carr/Leggett are strong... Add in an offense that if Herb Taylor/Wade smith can find spots, may only need to take a center in the early rounds.(Niswanger I do like, but he gets blown off the ball constantly.) I also figure add in a bruiser to complement Charles/Kolby, and the back situation is fine....If Tebow declares, maybe he falls to round 2 and the spread can stay intact. Barth has to be challenged, at least Kevin Robinson looked good... Will be glad to see Larry gone, hes a cancer. Should be a new look next year.

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:10:07 +0000 http://www.bobgretz.com/?p=6045#comment-9694 I hate to see coaches get fired but this game tipped me to the Herm must go column. His game management decision making is just never going to get any better. He's supposed to be a great motivator, but who was motivated in this game? The Chiefs could have pinned a closing day loss on the depleted Bengals and not even affected their draft position. Instead more clueless Chiefs. Anyone watch Gameday on the NFL Network? They had a one minute highlight section on the Chiefs-Bengals with the sound effect of a truck backing up (moving time) playing over the clip. The Bengals were treated like the joke of the league--the Chiefs not even that. They have to step up to the status of joke of the league.

The onus is squarely on Clark Hunt making intelligent personnel decisions, obviously. How the young Hunt will do is anyone's guess but I'd suggest he keep in mind that indecision is most costly than quick decisions.

The audio and video were horrible and to boot the team played awful. It was the one game I was looking forward to all year and it sucked. Whomever is to blame ... Herm, Clark, Gunther ... get it fixed. Now. I finally got to see a game since they play all the Cinci games here in Dayton. The audio and video were horrible and to boot the team played awful.

Any chance Herm had to coach this team next year should have been thoroughly destroyed after this game. Today was painful for sure, but at the very least, we should view it as a positive.

I thought losing in the wildcard round was bad, but this takes the cake. Honestly everybody, I was expected an 8-8 year, or at worst 7-9. After I went to the Raiders game @ Arrowhead on Sept 14th, I knew we were in BIG trouble. There will be some giant changes coming, we all know this. Larry wants out, you know Tony wants out, he may not say it publicly, but we all know he does. It's a numb feeling right now. One more question...who actually saw the game on T.V.? We haven't seen a Chiefs game since....well, I can't remember. Get some rest, relax, and pray that the Chiefs can be healed in one single off season.

That' not a coaching problem? Oh, my God. How do you even face the press after that? They are so poorly prepared for every game. They are pathetic. The defense was TERRIBLE!!! Kept them in the game? Only the ineptitude of Bengals play calling kept the score down. Why did they pass at all? They ran a WR reverse on the first play…that’s 2 weeks in a row! That’ not a coaching problem? Oh, my God.

Funny that Herm said after the game that the defense kept the Chiefs in the game. Bob and every fan except a couple of site trolls saw the whole team including the D dominated by a collection of backups. The Herm Edwards way cannot be tolerated by a winning franchise.

In a game that should have been a statement for the future of the franchise we made a different kind of statement.
