I never said they have not been mis-managing the team recently. I disagree over the "for the past 20 years" comment. I mean we were the team to set the record for most consistent trips to the playoffs with Marty at the helm. Of course he has a history of NOT winning in the playoffs, so we never made the final step. The problem started when Gunther became HC after Marty. We have had a mismanaged since then and not before. Maybe Carl does need to go, but I REALLY liked his drafting the last two years. I think he is listening to the other coaches, then his gut before making the final decision on the picks and so far the last two, maybe three drafts have produced some good quality and hopefully hall of fame players. I hate this losing streak as much as anyone, but we have to start over to get to a NE or IND or NY state of mind in the playoffs and winning every year. Hold on!

I have been in the stands before when there was no one else there. I will be in the future. If Tony were to say to me that he thought Herm was a good coach, I would say to him what I would say to anyone else. "You gotta be ****TIN' me!" I can't wait until Herm leaves his miserable hands off this team. Vrod74,

As fans, our first priority should be watching the backs of our fellow Chiefs fans, not the backs of the fat cat Chiefs' brass or even the players. I agree, Chris.

We're down on a front office that has completely mismanaged this team for the past 20 years and screwed this city out of the championship they deserve. And by the way bro, feel free to lay off the REAL fan crap. I've been cheering for the Chiefs for the past 25 years of my life and I've given them blood, sweat, tears, and hard work over the past year and a half with my blog, so I think I count as a REAL fan. If anything, my 25 years of being a fan give me more of a right to criticize the management of this team. Vrod,

Harm Edwards is a joke--and everyone's laughing but us. God could hit me with a lightening bolt and tell me in his booming voice that Herm was a good coach, yet I still wouldn’t believe it.

I get it. You, WE, are ALL tired of the losing and the lack of a SB. But our team used to feed off the energy we give off at home games. Do you really want D-Bowe, Swamp Thing, Page, Pollard, J. Charles, Branden Albert, Flowers, Carr-ALL of them looking for another city because when they were down the fans left them. Sounds like fair weather fans to me, sorry. I know they suck right now. But I still believe we have a good core, minus a couple of positions on the RIGHT side of the line and QB. Why would ANY of these 1st and 2nd year players want to stay in KC if the fans bail out now. In punishing the "King" or the Hunts (Which would definitely make Lamar roll over in his grave-a lot more than he has already!), we would REALLY be punishing the young kids on this team. Is this the kind of message we should be sending to THEM? Fuck the coaches and admin staff. I don't watch the games for them. I watch them for our players. How bad would Tony feel? Go to the games, DON'T buy any concessions, but still YELL your asses off for our guys!!! That is the point I was trying to make. Look. I get it.

I don't for the life of me understand where your assumption that he can comes from. Herm is currently presiding over the longest losing steak in the team's history. He has shown he is by far the worst coach this team has ever had. It is indeed the third game. Will the Chiefs improve? I sincerely hope so. Will they be a good team this year? No. Will Herm EVER be a decent coach in the NFL? Maybe a defensive backfield coach, but he will most certainly never be a competent head coach. To think otherwise is merely delusional folly. Vrod74,
