Canned In Kansas City?

What are the chances that Herm Edwards gets canned in Kansas City? Don Banks from Sports Illustrated says it as well as anyone could:

5. Herm Edwards, Kansas City -- That win at Oakland on Sunday was only Kansas City's second in its past 21 games, and there's not many coaches who could survive a 2-19 run in the NFL. But Edwards could be one of them, if -- and it's a big if -- Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson returns. I just don't know how owner Clark Hunt sells another season of Peterson and Edwards to the frustrated fans of Kansas City.
• Pink slip potential: 55 percent.

As someone partial to Herm Edwards, I could live with him as coach next year if Carl Peterson was fired instead. But if Peterson returns, again, then I don't see how a new coach makes much of a difference. In January, I'll post an end of season review of the Chiefs draft picks over the last several years… and, let me tell you, coaching is not the primary problem here in Kansas City.
