I agree that Mitchell was the most improved player on the defense last season. In fact, he may have been the only improved player on the defense.

And I agree with your last statement too. Outside of LB, there a lot of questions regarding his overall coaching. The DC has to be responsible for the whole team, not just the MLB on the LB corp. In fact, I would say the rest of the LB's underachieved last season. Even though DJ had a nice season, I expected much more. And the other side was a total disaster.

So is Gun a qulified DC, or just a position coach. I'm beginning to think he is in way over his head as a DC, nevermind the HC'ing gig he had here.

The last playoff win we had in KC was 2003. Gun hired on in 2004. Our defense melted down under Gun in Marty's last season, and the whole team melted down under Gun culminating with the Atlanta fiasco to end his run as HC.

And the defense/team continues to flounder as we head into year 13 of Gunther.

The last playoff win we had was in 1993. Gunther was hired after the 1994 season (so he was DC in 1995).

We're actually in year 7 of Gunther, 3 years as DC, 2 years as HC, and now 2 years as DC again.

Here's a little tidbit for ya:

We've never won a playoff game with Gun on the staff.
