Since 2006, Clark Hunt has fired three GM's and hired a 4th.
Clark ain't fuckin' around.
I may be wrong but I think 4 Klosterman, Steadman, Schaaf and Peterson. Klosterman was hired away from LA Chargers of old AFL to run Hunts Dallas Texans' He along with Loyd Wells are the Architects of the SB winning Chiefs. They alone lured the likes of Taylor, Buchanan, Bell and Garrett away from the NFL. He left after our Super Bowl win to go back west. His parting shot when asked by the news media how he liked his stay in KC, I felt like I was in Purgatory it sure wasn't heaven nor was it hell. I remember my Dad hated trhe prick after that. [Reply]

Willingness to act should not be mistaken for wisdom.
The Chiefs are now on their 4th GM in 10 years since Lamar Hunt passed. This is not one of the hallmarks of a well-run franchise.
Of the teams that have won the Super Bowl in seasons following Lamar Hunt's passing, here's how many GMs each team has hired in the last 10 years:
New England - 0
Denver - 2
Seattle - 1
Baltimore - 0
New York Giants - 1
Green Bay - 0
New Orleans - 0
Pittsburgh - 0
The Chiefs have had more GMs in the last 10 years than all the Super Bowl winners over that time have hired, combined.
Frequently changing executives is a mark of instability, not of prescient leadership. [Reply]

Terez has a new video out and he said that word around the Chiefs and the league (so the Eagles) is that Veach is a very good communicator.
Let's hope he can manage the cap. It'll be Interesting after this season if he decides to keep or cut Alex Smith [Reply]
