Herrmann is already feeling the regret of his Chicago Fire season 13 finale decision
We could see some of the way Herrmann’s story was going in Chicago Fire season 13. Despite Boden wanting him to become Chief, he
realized that it wasn’t the job that he wanted. However, I don’t think any of us really expected him to demote himself so that Mouch could become Engine 81’s Lieutenant.
Well, that’s the way it all played out in the Chicago Fire season 13 finale, and this puts a lot of pressure on Herrmann now. There are budget cuts coming, and that often means people are let go from their jobs, especially with firehouses closing around the city. Is it possible that Herrmann is now on the firing line?
Possibly, but it’s probably not that that’s causing Herrmann’s regret in Chicago Fire season 14. There is more at play with this decision.CHICAGO FIRE — “Kicking Down Doors” Episode 1401 — Pictured: (l-r) Anthony Ferraris as Tony Ferraris, Joe Minoso as Joe Cruz, Brandon Larracuente as Sal Vasquez, Taylor Kinney as Kelly Severide, Daniel Kyri as Darren Ritter, David Eigenberg as Christopher Herrmann, Miranda Rae Mayo as Stella Kidd — (Photo by: Peter Gordon/NBC)

As we’ve previously shared at GeekSided, there is a chance that Herrmann and Mouch’s friendship is going to go through a rough patch. It comes from Herrmann’s side of things, as he has to deal with the change in dynamic in their friendship.
On top of that, Herrmann is going to go through a personal crisis that’s much worse than anything he’s been through before. It’s hard to imagine what could be worse than Cindy’s cancer, and my fear is that something will happen to one of his kids. So, mixed with that and relinquishing power, it’s not surprising that things are going to be off for a while.
