thum will join Carl in Miami...


ha

Clark must have finally gave the go ahead to fire him. He had too much "King Carl" in him to last.

Hmmm

won't miss him

Sonofabitch!!!!!:cuss:


ROFL

Damn, welcome to the "new" Arrowhead.

So he was just kept around for the renovations and they let him stay as a courtesy to the opening it appears.

Either that or he felt up Clark's wife last night. Jeez, he's been in the organization since 74 it appears.

That's right! We win opening night on MNF and still fire a mother****er!

Ok he stepped down but still....

Well Bye...was he the last connection to the Carl era?

I was gonna say, what would've happened with a loss?

Actually, my first thought was, "He must've bet on San Diego." :shrug:

Isn't that thumthing?

interesting

Thanks for helping with new stadium and celebrating the win but pack yo shit hommie!

Shit is rough at One Arrowhead Drive!

wow

a bit surprised


Clark Hunt taking a bigger role? When is he going to have time for soccer?

Clark gave him a Thum up as he drove away.

I wonder if he was a snitch.

No, if you include Ray Farmer, since he was a holdover from the personell standpoint.

But in the Administration area, I'm thinking it is.

prolly had something to do with the rain .... shit melts .....

Didn't Thum do all the contract negotiations?

surely Clark isn't going to do all that stuff

Word is the munchkins who live under Arrowhead are good with Clark.

Pretty strange timing it seems to me. Gotta be a story behind this one.

:clap:

I miss Krumrie...

Cost savings? Who needs him?

No Pioli handles the football side, Thum was handling the business side

Won't be long before Bill Parcells shows up

Wasn't that the whole point in putting Thum in at Pres anyway?Seperating the business and football sides of the organization I mean.

Strange. Clark doesn't like American Football./ CP

Mark Donovan will be new President

Clark is cheap/CP GM's.

Yes, that's why it is strange. Maybe he just wanted to finish the renovation and resign, who knows

Or that was the win he's been waiting for!

He is expecting CP to help him out a lot...

Hope I don't get blasted for stating the obvious, but I imagine Clark is taking over temporarily.

FYP

Well if you do its only CP,you'll live!We need a poll for our next Pres......

I bet this has something to do with that 63 million of Clarks money he flushed down the drain...? Know what I'm sayin'?

I hope we have someone in mind and we dont just hire a scapegoat.

All have contracts coming up in the next year or two iirc

I heard you had a hand in him stepping down no?

I cannot confirm nor deny those accusations.

And in all fairness to Thum, it was only 28 million of Clarks $$$

Thum was the contract guy, it'll be interesting to see who crunches the numbers now. Thum is a good guy, local Rockhurst grad who worked his way up through the organization. It'll be interesting to hear the full story because there's obviously more to this one.

I know Denny and his family personally and would love to hear what this is all about. Denny is a stand up guy though and would never spill the beans or talk gossip bullshit. Just not in his DNA. Super good human being. You'd have no idea he was a big time NFL exec if you met him. Good people.

Yes...Like Lamar...I really liked Denny and Lamar picked his people well. I wouldn't expect Denny to say a word about anything. Class act.

I would bet its health or family reasons knowing Denny IMO.

I do business with the Chiefs, and know people there. Rumor is Pioli and Mark Donovan (both hired by Clark) didn't get along with Denny. The two talked with Clark telling him he could save money, and Mark Donovan could assume Denny's work.
You could tell something was up when Denny was doing the TV station tour on the Friday morning news shows to promote Red Friday.
I have meet Denny several times, and he seems to be a very class guy. I wish him all the best.

Just speculating here, but Thum oversaw the stadium renovation and my guess is he stayed on through opening night to unveil the new Arrowhead and Monday Night football. Once the game was over, he was done. It is pretty apparent Mark Donovan will be taking over in the future at that role, but in the mean time Clark is keeping the seat warm. I really don't think there is to much more to the story other than it was just time for Thum to retire. He was the last piece to the Peterson era, but a very loyal Hunt foot solider. Classy guy and I wish him well (lol tell that to the agents)!

Clark will be keeping the seat warm from his "office" in St. Croix.

I'll bet they were brainstorming how they could improve the team and Thum proposed signing a 49ers backup and seeing if they could get Mary Schottenheimer to come out of retirement and Clark said "GET THE **** OUTA HERE!".

I was thinking the same thing.

I heard a weird rumor that King Carl was being considered in a front office role in Miami. If that's true, Thum could be clearing his plate this year to meet up with King Carl in a new Miami regime.

Or, he could just be retiring. I'd retire if I could, that's for sure. Beats workin'.
