You're entitled. We should probably agree to disagree at this point though.

The Hunt family didn't care about the Chiefs fans in the 70's or 80's. They "began" to care in the 90's, when TV contracts, thanks to Jerry Jones, became far more lucrative than they had in the past.
Lamar Hunt had an issue with firing people, hence Steadman and Schaaf for 29 years and Carl Peterson for 17 years. And instead of cleaning house immediately after assuming control of the Chiefs, Clark gave Peterson two more years, even though it was clearly time to move on.
My personal feeling is that Clark knew his back was against the wall with the Kansas City (i.e., stadium upgrades) and the fans when he finally fired Peterson in late 2008. Does he feel, once again, like his back is against the wall?
If not, don't expect anything other than more Pioli.
