What a crazy couple of weeks.

If you’re like me, you’re still struggling to put together everything that happened. Granted, the Chiefs were fairly quiet, but I can’t disagree with a single move they made. Still, obviously, the question of how they are going to do this year depends on much more than how they themselves improved.

Since Herm is not an offensive coach he needs someone with experience as an offensive coordinator. This is an obvious decision that needs to happen quickly after the season.
