I've said all along that what's going on in KC right now is very similar to what went on in Houston before Kubes became HC. Let me surmise...
Charley Casserly was doing his best Scott Pioli impression and had really run the Texans into the ground. He had drafted QB David Carr and stuck with him when it was painfully obvious that he was NOT going to be a franchise QB. Carr even received a $10 MILLION roster bonus after years of suckage. Casserly had MISSED on just about every first round pick and had not been able to draft, sign and develop quality depth. He had hired Dom Capers as the first HC and Capers and he did not see eye to eye several years down the road on many issues. Bob McNair (Texans Owner) knew he had a sinking ship of a franchise and brought in DAN REEVES (Just as Hunt is rumored to have done with Marty) to evaluate the state of the franchise. He made his reccomendations and Capers and Carr were let go and Reeves stuck around and "helped" Casserly pick a new HC (Kubes) and helped during the draft process, helped identify other QB popssibilities (Trading for Schaub) and stragely enough, helped pick a new GM (Rick Smith) while Charley Casserly was still serving as a lame duck GM. Then omce Smith was named GM - Casserly was GONE. Now, 6 years later the Texans are Super Bowl contenders. It took longer than expected because Casserly had missed so badly in previous drafts, that the TEXANS had virtually N-O-T-H-I-N-G to show after 5 seasons. They basically started over....
I believe that Hunt trusts Marty and is doing something along the the same lines that McNair did with Reeves if these rumors are true. This is the first step, in my opinion, of sweeping changes. I hope it turns out the way it did for the Texans. Just my take on things...
