He still hasn't figured out game management. Also, he's now taken over 2 playoff teams and (once fired this off-season) has left the team as one of the worst in the NFL. He's a motivational speaker with enthusiasm. That's it. I agree he may be a nice person, but so is Marinelli. BTW, even though I don't entirely agree, another great post Posnanski.

I agree Clark should step up and dismiss the entire coaching staff and clear the deck for the new GM.

Would have loved to see your take/some commentary on Herm's assistant coaching staffs (both in NY and KC)....as that is a hugely important factor in the success of an NFL team (and often one where the GM can "overly" meddle at times IMHO). Herm's Jets staffs had some winners on it.....was he able to assemble the same in KC? Great piece.

Every set up of the way he has failed the team. Two years ago starting the season with Huard? No attempt to draft or pick anyone else up? Seriously? His OL signings have been mind boggeling. I'm sure he is a nice guy, I don't personally know him, but he knows very little about being a head coach. He should go back to being a DB coach.

It's not all Carls fault It's great that they play hard, but this is the NFL, you have to win.

Dan Plesac, Jesse Orosco, Harold Baines, Greg Vaughn, Jay Bell, Ron Gant, Matt Williams, Mo Vaughn, Dave Parker, and Matt Morris. That's ten right there. Just where in the heck is someone supposed to squeeze in Rickey? “how the world is Rickey Henderson NOT getting 100% votes?”
