JoPoz took a lot of shit for writing his book about Paterno, but there's no denying he's a great writer.I saw Gun a lot in his days with KC. He coached some in the booth, and some on the sidelines. When he was DC he chewed smokeless and was spitting all the time. When he became HC they made him give up chew (he was on camera too much) and he started chewing sunflower seeds. He could cuss a blue streak to make a longshoreman blush. It was obvious he loved his players. DT's death really affected him deeply. He was one of my favorite all time Chiefs coaches, not head coach, but staff coach. He was genuine, passionate, a maniac. The kind of guy you want on your staff. I think the Chiefs should do a patch for him on the jerseys this season.
