Pioli to Chiefs a done deal

[Mr. Scot]

Per PFT.

If, as has been speculated, Pioli decides to let go of Herman Edwards, then Fox's old buddy would be free to join his staff as a DC (and would do so with the full trust of Fox to run things his way).

This could be interesting.

(of course, it could also be nothing)

[megadeth078]

who?

[Mr. Scot]

Scott Pioli, former Patriots honcho.

(be interesting to see how this affects New England as well)

[Murph]

I like your speculation Mr. Scott.

I like it a lot. Herm learned so much under Dungy and perhaps DC is where he needs to be right now.

My first thought when I saw this about Pioli going to KC. Herm's out! Maybe to Carolina? But isn't Lovie friends with Herm also?

[Mr. Scot]

Edwards is one of those guys who works much better as a coordinator than a head coach. His record as a head coach is bad enough that he might not get another offer for that spot, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him get attention from anyone needing a DC.

Friendship with Fox could give Fox an inside track, but it could also be a hindrance (the old "would you want your friend as your boss" conundrum).

I do firmly believe that if he came here, Fox would give him full autonomy to run the defense as he saw fit.

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure the Bears are happy with their DC (forget who it is). They could offer him something else, of course.

It is possible that the Lions or Raiders look at him as a head coach, despite his record.

While Herm was pretty good as a player for Philly I haven't exactly been wowed by KC's defensive prowess. What makes you think he would be better than Trgo?? ( I know almost anyone is, but it begs the question)

He was way better as a DC than as a head coach.

I hope this happens.

[Mr. Scot]

Me too, but I'm not holding my breath

[Montie_0123]

You have to remember before he got the head coaching job he was always a good DC and I would more then welcome him here for that. PLEASE PLEASE let him become our DC. Hurney needs to make this happen and quick like!!

[AKPantherFan]

I would give Herm 100% respect and trust in this team.

I believe in him..

Turgo is a lame piece of poo that cant find the door.

Herm was never a DC, he was a positions coach in TB. Defensive backs.
