If this doesn't spell the end for Gun, I don't know what will. Hasty&co. rip him... - Page 2

Hasty exploded, rudely and forcefully telling Cunningham in a short tirade that Chiefs players were disgusted with Cunningham's "I" speeches, "I" attitude and finger-pointing.

"I've always been brought up that the game is about team," Hasty told me privately, moments after he had cleaned out his Chiefs locker Tuesday for what he believes is the final time. "It's not about individuals.

"I felt like it needed to be said," said Hasty, a two-time Pro Bowl defensive back. "... There was a lot of finger-pointing going on all season. You have to take responsibility on yourself. Somebody had to say something."

"All season, I heard a lot of `I built this' and `I built that,' " Anders said of Cunningham. "I guess that's what he felt he needed to do to try to make a point that we should respect what he's done."

"The atmosphere was real foul from the beginning. No one would talk to me. I felt like Carl or Gunther owed it to me to at least come up to me and talk to me about it. Hey, they could've told me this is the direction they were going. But no one said anything. All I wanted was to be respected. I've given respect the whole time I've been here. I thought the respect got stripped away from me."

"Gunther used the `I' word more than most coaches do," Grunhard said. "He also tried to appease too many guys who weren't playing well. He thought he had to kiss (fanny) to get some guys to play hard."

I'm cringing at the thought, too, Brock. Hasty is easily one of my favorite players on this team. I wouldn't blame him at all for wanting to leave. This team has no direction, and you can just look at their leader for that. Gunther's made an *** out of himself all year in interviews and he's finally getting called on it. Somehow, I suspect, Carl will find a way to retain this poor excuse for an NFL HC.

Few Chief players have earned my respect the way Hasty, Anders, and Grunny have. They are without a doubt some of my favorite Chiefs ever. If these guys think there is a problem than there is one without a doubt. Situations like this exsist for sometime before they get out to the media. If Gun had half the pride and honor he preaches about he'd quit.

No longer supporting our coach.

This happened three days before the Donx game...Why did the players play their best football of the year?

Like many other Chief fans, I thought Gun might make a good head coach. I can now admit that I was wrong.

Hearing these quotes from ALL of the teams veteran leadership (Hasty, Grunny, Elvis, Anders), tells me that it's time to cut our losses and bring in a new staff. Gun's nervous, out of control style is sending us on a Bengals-like tailspin, I fear.
