An analysis of franchise momentum: The Chiefs' Dow Jones Average.

[Rain Man]

Latest update of the franchise stock index through the end of 2017. As you'll recall, we ended last season on the most minor of negative cumulative scores, basically breakeven after 57 years. The early season success pushed the franchise strongly into positive ground, but the midseason slump brought it almost back to zero again. The late season surge pushed it back up, and then the playoff loss to the Tennessee Triplettes knocked it back down. Right now, the cumulative franchise index stands at +1.56. Andy's squad had modest success this year with a winning record and playoff spot, gaining 1.61 points to put the franchise back into the black.

Andy remains the first coach since Marty to have a positive franchise stock value during his tenure. Only four of the thirteen coaches in Chiefs history have a positive score during their tenure: Stram, Mackovic, Schottenheimer, and (so far) Reid.
