ESPN.com is reporting that the Chiefs have fired head coach Herman Edwards.
Edwards was 15-33 in three seasons with the Chiefs, including 2-14 this season.
Edwards’ status has been in doubt since the Chiefs hired Scott Pioli as their general manager on Jan. 13. Asked at his introductory news conference about Edwards’ status, Pioli declined to say.
He was 41-44 in five seasons as head coach of the New York Jets, including three trips to the playoffs.
Not a total shock, obviously. New general manager Scott Pioli probably wanted the organization to start fresh, although it’s not clear that this point which way he’ll go in terms of a new head coach. Several rumors have Pioli reaching out to Cardinals’ offensive coordinator Todd Haley after the Super Bowl concludes, but there isn’t any hard evidence yet to support that.
