BTW, after interviewing Clark Hunt last weekend, I can now understand why the Chiefs are a mess. Nepotism isn’t necessarily a good thing.

@ArrowheadPride He just didn’t strike me as the sharpest guy around. Seems kind of overmatched.

I am not using kraft as the standard, just one example. hell, this started with the whole JJ comparison.

I am not arguing for or against Hunt here.

I don't have enough information to draw any conclusions, or to make any assumptions.

What am arguing is the stupidity displayed by those that have argued that he's a bad owner.

why is it so stupid? piholi has burned damn near every bridge in town. no shit now. he's literally pissed everyone off and their is nothing good said of him during daily reports.

yet, clark has his back. had his back during all the pissing contests, has been accused of being just as meddling and micro scrutinizing as piholi.

I think it is justified. clark is a bad owner. he's more and more like mike brown imo.

what, exactly? this has been covered years ago. the parking attendants shut out of games, firemen invited for halftime entertainment and then scurried out afterwards, if they did not buy a ticket. there was a quote that clark wants his workers working scared... a ton of stuff.

Clark Hunt was accused of being an absentee owner that didn't care in 2008.

He comes from the family who has owned this team since it was moved to KC, he's not exactly been devoid of knowing the inner-workings of the franchise since long before his dad died. I think it's a bit short-sighed to say he was a Chiefs virgin before his dad's death.

I think our quick judgment of him being a bad owner is that he comes from a money grubbing family, and other than some large and visible changes he made at first (and I agreed with the SP hiring when it was made), his lack of prompt action seems to indicate that he's more of the same. I'm not sure SP uses the term f-year plan (It might be copyrighted!!), but CHunt's failure is seemingly letting things ride. Who knows, when the clock reads 0:00 at the end of game 16, he might tell security to help SP fill his one box of personal items from his former office. I would like that, but I'm not holding out hope, after all he is Lamar's son...

The Hunts desperately want this franchise to be run like the Steelers.

It's an image thing when it comes to firing people, especially the GM, midseason. It's just not going to happen.

I think it will happen at seasons end, but not during the season.

But he isn't willing to put in the work on a daily basis.

Until he does, or sells the team to a new owner, this will always be in question.

Ace Gunner · 12-05-2012, 10:11 PM

my opinion is that clark will not fire pioli & RC will remain HC. he isn't going to tell you this. to me, that is bad. he is holding onto the fact most chiefs fans today can't tell the diff between matt cassel & matt stafford, plus there is a ton of corporate season ticket sales, so he is just gonna fade back to texas and you and I are going to be left staring a piholi & romeo. you watch.

Probably true.

Although, I will say from some of the things I've heard, this season, coupled with last season has changed his view a little bit on how he wants be around etc.

One good thing that could come from the previous events I guess.

Do you think ANY of the roster moves made by the Patriots are aided by the fact that Kraft was a ticket holder? You claimed that Kraft's football knowledge aids him to be a better owner. It doesn't. His running the team the right way does. Running it the right way includes letting someone else make ALL the personnel decisions.

And you can't even say he knew this was coming because if he did they wouldn't have waited until the 6th round to take him.

Considering Clark was "acting" as the de facto owner for a few years BEFORE Lamar died, I'd say you are 100% correct.
