Herm Edwards

Sure I'm a little biased, having worked closely with Kansas City Chiefs head football coach Herm Edwards the last six years on a weekly diary.
And I'm not oblivious to the fact that the Chiefs right now are horrible. Edwards' job is on the line. And perhaps it should be if things don't change real quick — I mean 12 straight losses dating back to last year.
But now, more than ever is the time for fans in Kansas City to back this team while it endures tremendous growing pains.
Keep the 'Fire Edwards' signs in the closest Sunday. Chiefs fans, you are better than that. This isn't Philadelphia or Cleveland. Losing sucks.
If Edwards is guilty of anything, it's that he took an aging team to the playoffs in his first season. He took the job knowing he was going to have to rebuild it.
No one could have predicted he'd lose his starting quarterback in the season opener. This is still a coach that has taken teams to the postseason four out of seven years.
