I was very unhappy to see Marty go. People can say he sucks in the playoffs but, honestly, Marty is lightyears better than anyone who followed him. I would much rather lose a close game in the playoffs each year for a decade than go twice in a decade and get horribly embarrassed each time.
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.
