I was mildly unhappy to see Cunningham go. I know I'm going to take a lot of grief over this one but please consider everything in context. Cunningham was pretty average (16-16, in two years) but the Chiefs fired Cunningham to get Vermeil and that was too expensive, IMO. Firing Cunningham also meant giving away almost 1/2 dozen picks to get Vermeil and all the Rams' players and that expenditure has cost this franchise. And, on top of that, Vermeil went on to be pretty average. Cunningham might be bad, I doubt if he is as terrible as some here would think. In any case, I would have preferred to keep him (and all our picks) instead of firing him to get Vermeil.

Gunther was on the edge of a breakdown the whole time he was coaching. Carl did him a favor.
