As far as the Chiefs are concerned, mediocrity meant we were always one player away, one coach away, etc. For the most part though, it meant everything was okay, because Arrowhead was full every Sunday and there was always next year.
Being god awful isn't a requirement for being great, but I think often times with the number of oversized egos involved, it takes hitting rock bottom to realize major change is needed.
Then again, we've gone from "we're tired of Marty/Gun, let's have some offense" to "wow, on second thought, how about some defense?" to "WTF, Herm?"... all within a decade. I'm not saying we shouldn't have necessarily moved on from any or all of those, but until they stick with a plan for more than a few years...
