His refusal to fire Greg Robinson and the defensive staff cost this team a chance for deep playoff success.
His insistance in drafting defensive lineman with pick after pick while avoiding his aging offense line, cornerback and WR corp put the Chiefs in a hole that took nearly a decade to recover. The guy wanted Tyler Brayton over LJ when the right choice was Polamalu.
He made more excuses than any coach in franchise history for his baffling losses and decisions. IMO, he's below Mackovic, Levy, Stram, Schottenheimer and Andy Reid. And hell, at least Herm and Bill Kuharich put together a decent 2008 draft.

Brees would have been booed out of KC before he ever achieved any level of success.
He was a crap QB for his first 3 years, averaging just 204 yards per game, with 53 TDs and 37 ints.
