[Chiefs] Chiefs Coach Herm Edwards Has Small Chance At Staying

A source with knowledge of the team's thinking told ESPN's Michael Smith it has not been ruled out that Herm Edwards could return for the final year of his contract as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. Conventional wisdom is that Scott Pioli, who is expected to be introduced as the team's new general manager later Wednesday, will want to hire his own guy, but a source said Pioli is coming in with an open mind.

This makes it sound like he has a chance at staying another year...

A small chance hh....I don't think Pioli will keep him on....stay positive!!

I was just watching ESPN and they were talking like he has a real shot at staying. I just don't get it. Herm Edwards is an awful coach once he screws up the good team that he's been handed.

The Chiefs are in dire need of a fresh start and bringing back Herm after getting a new GM is like putting new tires on a broken car.

Sounds like Herm has a great shot at coming back according to Pioli...

There's not a lot of coaches out there willing to take a bunch of youngsters and coach them. I think the Chiefs would be much better off with Herm Edwards than say Jason Garrett.
