People hated that they didn't draft Geno Smith

Andy's first few years looked exactly like the Marty Chiefs. Very good team that ends up ****ing itself spectacularly in the playoffs. Andy was 1-6 in the playoffs over a 9 season stretch from 2009-2017 with the lone playoff win being over Brian ****ing Hoyer.
The frustration Andy faced was 100% justifiable at the time.
Fortunately he found his HOF QB bc that's the difference. That's why Belichick, Tomlin, Shannahan, Dungy and McCarthy have any of their accolades bc without their QB's their reputation has been total shit. It's also why Marty never got where he wanted to go.
Andy's legacy is now cemented. Previously he was a fringe first ballot HOF coach. Now he's a shoe in first ball HOF that will be on the Mount Rushmore of NFL coaches.

"I didn't understand the playcalling"
"Hunt carried the ball 6 times in the first quarter, 5 times over the next 3."
"Chiefs should have won this game by 30"
"After the first 15 plays they forget what the hell they're doing."
