TEAR DOWN OF THE CARL PETERSON CHIEFS CONTINUES
If you are an employee of the Chiefs and you were around before 2009, the clock is apparently ticking on further employment.
More changes have come down in the organization as last Friday the team’s executive director of player development Lamonte Winston was told he would not be offered a new contract. Winston had been with the football operation for 17 years, starting as a scout and working his way in the player development field. Several years ago, the Chiefs player development programs were honored as one of the league’s best. Winston served many roles in his position, as he was the man players called when they had problems, or wanted to finalize their college education, or just joined the team and needed help in housing and family matters. It was a sensitive position that Winston handled well.
Among the front office employees at the end of the 2008 season, there are 39 that are no longer employed or working in the same job. Sports teams generally can have high turnover, but 37 people in 13 months is a remarkable number..
And those still standing at the team’s offices think the purge is not over.
I wonder why they'd fire this guy?
