I'd be willing to bet almost anything that the job was not offered to Pioli yet. Also, don't be surprised to see more than a 3 or 4 more candidates interviewed before the Chiefs choose a direction. I can't find where I read it, but I saw somewhere that the Chiefs have an interview lined up with Kokinis within the next week.

This Pioli stuff is complete BS. So, you're gonna have to wait a while to give the "Herm lovers some talk" a little while longer..

Anyone who backs a coach with a career record 20 games below .500 obviously doesn't know the sport. 'nuff said. Go cheer for the Lions if you enjoy cheering for failures.

As the Scott Pioli rumors/speculation continue in Kansas City, we’re told that none of the various media outlets working the story have bothered to ask a simple question of the team.

Are any press conferences scheduled?

We’re also told that no press conferences are scheduled, which undercuts the ever-expanding suggestion that a deal is close to done, and that an announcement is close to imminent.

Just got home and find this thread became a beast of its own. For what it is worth, as someone who has been playing football for close to 20 years, and coaching (although only on a youth level) for about 5 years, I have to agree with the idea that bringing in a new coach (if he brings in a new system) will probably set the rooks back a lot. Possibly set them back far enough to the point of frustration and never reaching their potential. Ive seen it happen first hand many times.

Yeah, I agree that Herm is not a great coach. He has horrible clock and challenge management. He has a poor strength/conditioning program leading to too many preventable injuries (soft tissue sprains, strains, etc). And he doesn't pick the best coaching staff in my opinion.

However, I believe he is a much better evaluator of talent than our previous coaching staffs have been. In a previous thread weeks ago I compared his drafts with the other years. Without counting the players who are still "developing," he has a better success rate.

I believe what the "herm lovers" you are chastising are really just making that argument. Herm is better at evaluating talent and still needs to be allowed to develop his own players. He was never given full permission to begin rebuilding until after the 4-12 season.

Go ahead, call me a "herm lover," I could care less.

Great job. I dont think that we had a problem with his Herm hating as much as the way he was presenting it, which was childish. I agree completly with your post and just like you said, this guy (Herm) has many flaws, but lets atleast see what his forsight turns out to be.
