Chief Dick Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Still, I think he'll make a capable assistant somewhere. Absolutely. One thing that Herm has going for him is that his players played hard for him. Local radio was saying today he has never been a coordinator in the league.

fingfootball Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I still like Todd Haley for the job. Can the Chiefs even talk to Haley? You would think that Pioli would at least have some idea of what he was going to do when he dropped the ax on Herm. Haley is going to the Superbowl next week, wouldnt the Card organization have to give Haley permission to talk to other teams while he is under contract?

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well at least we have some sort of continuity going for us. The AFC West title should be easy pickings this year. When isn't it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parcells was talking to other teams when he was in the super bowl with the pats, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Herm seems like a good guy, but, he can't seem to get it done as a head coach. Yeah.... like that guy who was all friendly and then stole your Steelers jacket on that home game road trip you went on. Never trust anyone who constantly rants on and on about how honesty is the most important thing in life. Dead give away he's a lyin cheat. He is not a good guy. There is a sucker born every minute, and Menudo, welcome to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Nothing like hanging him in the wind for 2 weeks.Yup. No way he could have possibly seen this coming. How on earth is he and his family going to survive on the remaining year of his $12m contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 When is comes to Denver I'd trust Schefter 10 times out of 10 over Mort, considering Schefter's background. That's been the tenor in the paper this morning. At times Mort will throw stuff on the wall to see what sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Cowher's name is being thrown around again. Why do people think Cowher is EVER coming back? Has he hinted he will? Wouldn't he consider anywhere other than Pittsburgh a downgrade and a danger to his legacy? Right now he looks very comfortable sitting in the studio.

Wouldn't he consider anywhere other than Pittsburgh a downgrade and a danger to his legacy? Right now he looks very comfortable sitting in the studio. Oh he's coming back I have no doubt about that. As far as 2009 in concerned, I don't believe he will as he has already stated on CBS that the timing is not right for his return to the sideline. I think with the right situation, he could return in 2010. But if he WERE to return this year, this is the job I think he would jump on.

Azazello1313 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Ah crap! The Chiefs have been in negotiations to land Mike Shanahan as their next coach and a deal is near, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Flypaste Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 herm edwards will not be collecting unemployment after all... Herm Edwards joins ESPN's NFL broadcast team 2009-01-29 13:36 NEW YORK (AP) -Herm Edwards is moving from the sideline to the studio. Fired as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs last Friday, Edwards joined ESPN as an analyst, the network announced Thursday. He will appear on several ESPN television and radio programs starting next month. ``I'm excited about the opportunity to join the ESPN team and offer my insight as a former player and head coach,'' Edwards said in a statement. ``I'm going to be truthful with my opinions on all the issues that take place on and off the field of play.'' Edwards, who worked briefly at ESPN last offseason as a guest analyst, was fired after the worst two-year span in Chiefs history. He went 15-33 in three years with the Chiefs after going 41-44, including three playoff appearances, with the New York Jets from 2001-05. ``Herm is well-liked and highly respected throughout the league, and his insights and opinions as a former coach will make a tremendous addition to our year-round NFL coverage,'' ESPN executive vice president of production Norby Williamson said.

Bill Swerski Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not sure this is a bad thing. All depends on the DC hire. Yeah, geez, how is going from Herm Edwards to Mike Shanahan a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingfootball Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 God I hope he doesnt wind up on Countdown. I dont think I could watch him for 2 hours on Sunday for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
