AND NOW, Clark Hunt has RE-affirmed Herm’s The Man On The Hot Seat!

Also, tm1946, the punter has slipped a little since he pulled his groin, what do you expect from a guy who kicks a ball and is coming back from a groin injury. It’s a bit different injury to heal from for that position.

Now as for your comment about him being full of himself I don’t understand that either. Thats more of your anger towards Herm than fact. There is nothing wrong with a guy believing in what he started despite the record. If he you’re a manager or coach and you don’t believe in what you do then you don’t need to be a CEO,or head manager, or head coach. Herm believes he’s got this organization going in the right direction based on the talent we have in place. And so do I. I think if you look at our roster compared to 2007 we are a much more talented team that is only going to get better. You’re one of those fans looking for instant success and that is not what this team is built for. They’re built for future success. Adding a couple free agents may have got the fans expectation all how only to still maybe win 1 or 2 more games this point in the season. And besides when you’re rebuilding for the future no need to bring in a bunch old veterans that want be around when these guys mature and actually be good.

Last my thing is the team is young but want always be young. We’re going in the right direction we went from in 2007 needing players at damn near every position on the field down to maybe only about 4 key positions (defensive end,middle or outside linebacker, right tackle, and right guard,). If Herm 2009 draft is just as good as the 2008 and he fills in the holes where I just mention on the roster and bring back Tyler as the starting quarterback we will win a bunch of games next year. So we’re not as far away as people like yourself may think but you just not an outside the box type of guy. You want immediate gratification and sometimes in sports patience just has to be used. I’m betting Marty was losing playoff games you were saying he needs to go because he couldn’t win in the playoffs. And now you’re calling for Herm’s head in the middle of a rebuild. Fans sometimes have to learn patience and that you’re going to have some good and bad years on a football team. That is what life is about ups and downs. Right now this team is down but the way we’ve played against playoff teams in close games there is hope and optimism for the future. That hey if we can strengthen our weaknessess on the roster then we can win these games that we’re losing. So thats what you got to look at.

Exception: I have felt free to point out when someone is on a decline and needs to be sent to the bench. But I’ve never asked for any non-thug to get kicked off the team. And I’m withholding judgment on LJ until he is convicted of something, because accusations at a club are easy to make, especially from a woman against a man.

So I look at what Herm has done:
The 3rd-worst coaching situation in the NFL (worst: Oakland; 2nd-worst: Detroit), he has the all-time best record for reaching the post-season and winning there: 3 appearances in 5 years.
Then he took an aging KC team that was falling apart and lost its pro-bowl starting QB and brought them to the playoffs with Damon Huard starting half the season.
Then when the wheels fell off, he was instrumental (although not solely responsible) for repairing our secondary, and has made a darn good start on fixing WR, O-line, RB, QB, and TE for years into the future.
Just one year after the wheels fell off, we are down to just 3 holes: 2 OLB and a DE.
He coaches disciplined teams that don’t commit fouls, don’t turn the ball over, and don’t give up on him, no matter how bad the season is going.

Then when we lose our starting and 2nd string QB (and lots of D-line players, and LBers, and CBs for short stretches), he retools the team mid-season, and keeps us competitive 4 straight weeks against playoff teams.

And I see the light at the end of the tunnel. It takes time for a defense to come together, and we should be able to target, fill, and fix the 3 holes on defense, let them all practice together throughout pre-season, and be ready to do very well next season.

I think we’ll be the surprise of the NFL next season by what I see happening to the team right now on the field.

If I’m wrong, I’ll reevaluate, but I see the signs already.

So that’s why I support him.

1 Winning two games so say in 2008.
2 Throwing a cover 2 on defense without players who fit the scheme.
3 Tried to rebuild with only rookie team, no real chance to win.
4 Apparently not noticing the fans were no satisfied with 2 wins.
5 Annointing Brodie with no reason to do so.
6 Drafting loads and load of DL who do not play the game well enough to be a factor.
7 Tell the fans to get over it.
8 Only head coach I ever heard of who never takes the blame for anything and regularily throws others under the bus.
9 Declined to use veteran FA to help fill spots the rookies could not cover.
10 Set all time chief records in losing this season, and then says he is full of himself to feel bad about it.

I guess he has earned your support for all he has done to the KC chiefs.

Will the Chiefs be better in 2009 because of what they’ve attempted to do this year? Quite possibly. It’s the NFL. Stranger things have happened. I for one have zero faith in Carl or Herm at this stage of their careers. However, even with that said I still think that the Chiefs are the second best run franchise in the AFC West to Denver. Oakland is an absolute joke of course and Norv Turner and AJ Smith are being exposed as over rated frauds in San Diego.

You guys are complaining about the ending of a movie that you haven’t seen yet.

Should all the fans (which Herm wouldn’t noitce since he has no fan friendly time) go on a strike and not show up for anymore games until the “Three Stooges” are gone!?

When the remodeled stadium is complete clark will have to deal with the losing of games but not until then. 30+ mil under this year and maybe more next will help pay for the chiefs contribution to the remodel. There is no point investing cash into a failing operation.

Just maybe a few coaches will be let go at the end of the season. But forget herm and probably carl, hunts do not waste money.

Lastly why would anyone be surprised by herm’s comments. He is doing exactly what he is supposed to for his owner/employer.

AND NOW, Clark Hunt has RE-affirmed Herm’s The Man!

1. Chiefs are trying to extort $25 million from taxpayers. In return, they will have training camp in Missouri (instead of river falls) and give $10 million to the school they will use for camp to upgrade facilities. http://fatchatter.com/forum/index.php?topic=679.0

Team aldready has over $20 million in cap savings from going cheap this yr, and they are trying to take even more in these tough economic times?

Q: When you go out in public and hear from fans are they frustrated or encouraged or…?

EDWARDS: “Most of them I talk to ““ and I don’t see a whole lot because my hours aren’t fan friendly right now as I’m here early in the morning and leave late at night ““ but they’re encouraged. They like the direction we’re headed in. They like what they see as far as our youth and what we’re trying to build.

Q: Would you make it a point to go out in public more if you were 11-2 instead of 2-11?

EDWARDS: “No, I’d be on my same schedule I’m always on. You know, I don’t have anything to be embarrassed about. I really don’t. I work as hard as anybody; I don’t have anything to be embarrassed about and I’m not embarrassed about this football team or the way they play. I don’t like our record. I’m disappointed in our record. But I don’t have anything to be embarrassed about in how I coach or what I believe in.

————————
who is Herm talking to that is encouraged by this season? Let me guess, CP, and rufus dufus.

Also havent you all picked up on the trend of when Herm repeats something so many times, he is generally lying. How can herm not be embarassed being at the helm of the worst season in chiefs franchise history, and breaking NFL records for crapiness?

Questioned was asked if he was embrassed.

I could have scripted what he said word for word. “No, I am not embrassed, I have too much in me.”
Okay Herm too much what?

I read an article a few days ago that a little child wrote wanting to know why Jesus did not write a book in the Bible and the response was-if he had, would anyone believed him about all the great things he had done and will do. Wouldn’t he had come off arrogant?
But others wrote the books with their testimonies of his greatness.

Herm, You are telling everyone how great you are, but what will the other that write your testimony have to say?
