Unless the Kansas City Chiefs turn it around this year, Monterey's Herm Edwards will likely be fired just in time to take a job with either the Niners or Raiders.
I know, Lane Kiffin will be given his pink slip in the next two weeks or so and James Lofton will be named the new coach.
But Lofton would be nothing more than a fill in if Edwards had any interest in the Raiders, which at this point, I'd questioned anyone's sanity that wanted to coach in Oakland under Al Davis.
Speculation that Mike Nolan will be replaced by Mark Martz at the end of the season is probably more realistic.
Then again, if the 49ers fall on their faces when they face real teams in October, both will be ousted.
Edwards is building a home in Monterey County. Maybe it's time to come home and give bay area fans at least hope.
One other note about firings. What the Milwaukee Brewers did to manager Ned Yost in canning him with 12 days left in the season speaks volumes why the franchise has not made the playoffs in 25 years.
Make that 26 because this team is in shock. You're battling for a playoff spot and your manager is fired because you've lost seven of your last 10.
Hello. Teams go through losing streaks. If you're trying to light a fire, you just put out the flame.
