You know what, Jonathan Rand? George Steinbrenner got competent people under him. That's why he found success.
Steinbrenner didn't have Carl Peterson, and if his GM had failed to win a postseason game in 15 years, he would have been fired 13 years ago.
Steinbrenner had one of the best managers in the league recent years. Hunt has the worst. And yet he does nothing.
Steinbrenner didn't always make good decisions, but at least he had the guts to make changes when they were warranted.

As poorly as the Chiefs played Sunday in a 34-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans, no reasonable NFL owner pulls the plug on a rebuilding program after only six games.

You know what, Jonathan Rand? This rebuilding project has been going on longer than 6 games. It began in earnest last year, so that's 22 games.
It should have begun the year before that, 38 games ago, but Herm couldn't sell the only person in professional sports less competent than he is that the team needed to be rebuilt.
And firing these two clowns would not be "pulling the plug". It would be the move that shows committing to rebuilding, because these two imbeciles obviously have no idea how to do it.
