I think it was the Rams game in 2000, when the Rams were the Greatest Show on Turf, entering the game undefeated and Gunther's team physically manhandled them, knocking Kurt Warner out of the game.

Damn. RIP Gunther.

I didn't know that he wasn't an American until 2010.

Gunther may have been a mediocre DC and a bad head coach but...he owned Mike Shanahan. Two big sweeps of the broom.

No other coach in Chiefs history can say that.

Sometimes he was a good coach, sometimes he was a shit coach, but I don't think there was ever a more dedicated or sincere coach who genuinely cared about this franchise beyond the paycheck as much as he did.

dude had the Chiefs logo on his garage door.


not talking small either.

I'll always think of him and/with DT .

...hope they are enjoying a big laugh right about now

That's sad, he was a good defensive mind.

TrebMaxx 05-13-2019 12:52 PM

Always liked Gunther and his passion for the game. RIP Coach.
