I have a hard time agreeing with firing a coach mid-season, unless you feel like one of the assistants will really do a better job in his place, which is rare (Oakland got wrecked in their first game w/out Kiffin).
At the end of the season is when many coaches and their staffs are turned over, at which point FO/Ownership can conduct a thorough search of both pro and college staffs to find the best replacements. Unless a coach has completely lost the locker room (e.g. Linehan in St. Louis), I think you wait. Especially with a guy like Herm who gets along well with players and has proven he can lead a team to the playoffs (albeit not with the Cheifs thus far). That said, I can't see him on the KC sidelines in '09.
