I live in Wichita, for now, and can barely pickup WHB in the mornings. I was listening to Bill Mass talking about Gun and his inconsistencies with the team. He then went on to say that Gun had told his players that he quit on them (retired) for about a 4 hour period, before his wife had to talk him into coming back. I did not hear when/if he said this to his players. Was this before the game, yesterday, when??

Does anyone know anything about this, or is this old news? A little help, please.

I heard that too. If I heard it correctly, Maas reports Gun addressed the team between 9 and 1 yesterday. During that period, he told them he was going to resign as HC. His wife talked him out of it.

This is very odd. Quiting at the beginning of the season, now that scares me more then anything.

Not good.

IF that's true, he is of no use to the Chiefs. He is already finished, as is almost any player or coach who almost quits & comes back.

Who would coach this team?

Let me put down my crack pipe and think about this. Parcells would be my red-and-gold wet dream...I'd love to see Dan Williams or DA try and pull their sheeit with The Tuna overseeing practices. I'd bet that Glock's offsides penalties would cease, one way or the other! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif

Are you serious??? Isn't that just great. The head coach doesn't even believe that he can get this team to the playoffs. Man, if those guys had just caught all of thier passes, we could have easily won that game. I am starting to feel uneasy about this season.

Not to sound too Denise like, but wouldn't this have to kill the moral of the team?

If this is true, this season is toast.

Wow...I hadn't heard this.

If I was GM, I'd fire him. This absolutely destroys the morale of the team. It disrupts momentum.

The bad new is I like Gun. I like his hard-nosed attitude.

The good news is, if he goes, the Stooges go with him.

Would this not only substantiate what most of us old time followers stated prior to week one. This being the most confusing preseason we had witnessed. It just goes on and on. As I have stated before, I have followed the Chiefs for over 35 years and never been as bewildered over the direction of this team, as I have this year. This certainly does not qualify me as an expert, as maybe I am losing touch. As to what would happen, should he resign, they would hand the reigns to Shaw, and of course, he would keep the staff, until the end of the year.

kcred,

Bingo. This team looks lost...confused...and evidently it's trickling down from the top.

This is the worst way to start the week after being depressed for 2 days about the loss. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/frown.gif

HT,

What about this sickening possibility:

One of the stooges becomes the coach!!

I'm hurling on my shoes right now!!

Even as critical and cynical as I am, I find it hard to believe that CP would make Jimmy or Kurt a head coach.

What is sickening to me, as kcred said in another thread, is that they'd probably make Shaw HC and he'd just keep the stooges.

This team needs to be gutted. Slash and burn. Let the new growth emerge from the ashes.

Although I doubt the accuracy of any report on this radio station, if true, "Houston we have a problem."

Would just rip out any shred of confidence this team may have generated.<P>

Cosidering WHB as the source, I'm going to reserve judgement.

I can see Gun telling the team that he feels like resigning, or threatening to resign as a motivational ploy, but I would think that Carl would be the first to know if there was any truth to this.

Luz
still, a scary thought...
