I recognize the anger and frustration but I'm not sure Clark being an absentee owner is the cause of the Chiefs problems. What would have changed if Clark lived in Leawood?

His logical choice failed, and it happens. It's part of business. How you respond to those failures determine the success of an organization.
If he cans Pioli, and there is a replacement at GM, HC and a legitimate QB in town next Sept 1, I'll be a big Clark Hunt fan.

Two really good posts. Lets be real here. Clark is a business man, not a football man. And quite honestly, I don't want a Jerry Jones. **** that cocksuck.
Let me put it another way. Clark, I assume has massive money invested in the stock market. But I bet he doesn't make trades himself. He probably has some sort of broker. It should be the same thing with football. Concurrently, he should objectively review their performance. If his broker is ****ing off or taking too many risks or whatever, he should get the ban hammer. Same with football men. If he makes the team an embarrassment, he should get the ban hammer. We'll see.
