Hard Knocks is not a full representation of reality.

Not to mention there were plenty of articles written after Peterson's firing that suggested that Herm was in Clark Hunt's ear toward the end of the Herm/Carl era and that he was going over Peterson's head quite a bit. I seem to recall a Teicher article that pretty firmly detailed the way Herm had slowly taken power in that organization. But the perfect proof is the way the Chiefs tore up the roster. In 20 years under Carl, how many times did Carl willingly rebuild? He was a guy constantly worried about filling seats. The idea of enduring 2-3 consecutive low-win seasons was horrifying to him. If this team were run by Carl toward the end of his tenure, he would have dumped a bunch of veterans and then immediately reloaded the roster with a few pricey veteran free agents to make us winners again.
