Last time I checked, the Giants have drafted pretty good and have a couple Super Bowl rings while he's been their Director of Scouting.

He also holds a bachelors and masters from two Ivy league schools (Princeton and Penn, respectively), and played the game at a high level in college as a wide receiver. (Still holds numerous Princeton receiving records.)

He's young at 39, but has put in his time.

If you want to keep the 34 intact on the defensive side, how about hiring Kirby Smart from Alabama? I've heard that they have been okay defensively the past couple of years.

NO soup for you.

yeah--it's all about filling One Arrowhead Drive on sundays. it's not about the wins/losses, is it? it's not about playoff wins, isn't it?

this is exactly what's wrong with this goddamned fanbase. it's all fanboys who don't give a shit whether we win or lose, it's about the 'arrowhead mystique'--look: the arrowhead mystique is ****ing dead. it's been dead for a few years now. it died with marty, methinks, and got revived for about five minutes with dick-head-coach-vermiel. it's gone. do we need to have a funeral for it so you dumbasses can mourn? I'll give you three minutes to weep silently before we get back on topic.

so, back. it's dead. deal with it. the REST of the nfl (save a few other bottom dwellers) have moved on--homefield advantage means precious little these days. you know that matters? WINS IN THE PLAYOFFS. if you WIN, more people will SHOW UP. it's a simple equation:

W(2P+R)=A

wins (playoff[which gets a multiplier because they're SO IMPORTANT] + regular season) equals attendence.

yeah. let's stay with the status quo. it may have worked in 1993, but NEWS FLASH: we don't have joe montana to rescue us. we have to DEVELOP a team from scratch--you don't get a PLAYOFF WINNING TEAM with your lineup. you get status quo.

and I, for one am SICK TO ****ING DEATH of status quo in relation to the chiefs. and it seems that clark hunt is too. status quo was carl delano peterson. status quo would be marty ****ing schottenheimer. status quo is keeping a defensive coordinator who hasn't coordinated SHIT since coming back.

you want status quo? fine. go join a ****ing elk's lodge and knock em' back and think of yesteryear with the rest of the outdated morons. let the rest of us contemplate a future with MAYBE a super bowl victory before we die. I wasn't even THOUGHT OF when the chiefs won the 'ship in 1970. ****, my dad was only thirteen years old. maybe YOU were alive, but a lot of us weren't. thus, we could give a shit less about status quo.

now, take hamas' advice. kindly go ****ING KILL YOURSELF

last playoff win: 1993

that's fifteen years. I'm 25 years old. I was ten years old the last playoff win--****, aren't you younger than me? I can't recall. doesn't matter.

I'll be the first person to be optimistic if THERE'S ANYTHING TO BE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT. have you WATCHED the chiefs lately? we're HORRIBLE.

it has nothing to do with being a 'negative nancy.' it has EVERYTHING to do with people holding onto the adages of a by-gone era. and it's gone. if you want to have positive hopes, PLEASE have a REASON to have positive hopes.

I remember a very specific time when I was younger that my dad was like this--and I didn't understand it then, but I do perfectly now.

the chiefs were playing the giants in the meadowlands. we were down big in the second quarter. he left the room in disgust and went to go mow the lawn. before he left, though, we had an argument. I pounded my fists like the preteen douche I was and said 'the chiefs can win! they can come back!' completely optimistic that the chiefs could overcome all odds and win a meaningless game.

my dad was realistic--he said 'there's no way' and went about his day

I'm like that these days. SOME of you still believe. it's like believing in santa claus--he's still coming for some of you. the rest of us in realism land have no delusions about this team.

I remember crying my eyes out after the 1995 playoff loss to the colts. I remember going on my first cussing tirade after the 1997 playoff loss to the broncos.

I, for one, and SICK TO ****ING DEATH of putting up with 'not quite good enough'--it's ALL this ****ing organization feeds to us. if you want to be spoon-fed bullshit? that's fine with me. I'm all for putting their ****ing heads under the guillotine and MAYBE building a team that's in it for the long haul.

From a head coaching standpoint... I still think one of the more underrated candidates out there is Gus Bradley from Seattle. This guy is one hell of a coach and I can see him also being a good, tough motivator.
