I guess I have to at least give him a chance before I get started. I hope he proves me wrong.

Announcement rumored to be tomorrow.

Chiefs Move Closer to Hiring Edwards
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>var wn_last_ed_date = getLEDate("Jan5,2006,12:44 PM EST"); document.write(wn_last_ed_date);</SCRIPT>Jan 5, 2006, 10:44 AM MST NEW YORK (AP) -- Nothing's official, but sources close to negotiations between the Chiefs and New York Jets say Herman Edwards is close to becoming Kansas City's next head coach.

A person familiar with the talks tells The Associated Press the negotiations are almost complete.

Another source says the two teams discussed a compensation package for Edwards Wednesday.

Both spoke on condition they remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the talks.

Hiring Edwards to replace the retired Dick Vermeil means the Chiefs would have to up draft picks to the Jets, who still have him under contract.
Any deal will need NFL approval, and nothing was submitted to the league office by late Wednesday.

What's wrong with the Jets? First you have Parcells retiring and giving the head coaching job to Billicheck. He declines after accepting, and leaves for the Patriots. Next it's Al Groh and he leaves to take over the Virginia coaching position. At least Edwards stayed for a couple of years but still left before his contract was up.

I can see there might have been some sort of conflict during the Hess years, but isn't another group owning the club now?
