I know this for sure. John Dorsey didn't come here for that. I know that up until the past two seasons, the Eagles weren't satisfied with just being in the playoffs. I don't think there is a soul here who would bitch moan and complain if the Chiefs were in the AFCCG 5 years straight.
I don't see that at all. None of their moves this year said to me, YUP, LETS GET BACK TO 8-8.

It's a battle for respectability this year, which after last season is fine. But, it's not like Pioli or Haley or any coaches/players didn't want more when they go here, either. Clark's shown he's willing to come in every few years, cleanup and make a splash with hirings, which certainly helps bring back fans.
You might ask what else he can do, but if half the stuff that's been reported is true about what Pioli was doing behind the scenes, Hunt would have stepped in immediately and put a stop to that shit. And there's no better example of what a passionately involved owner can do than looking at what Sporting has done since Hunt sold them.
