Because in a past Interview they had asked who Clark would like to see as the new GM and he said Schottenheimer. (I'll see if I can find it) and Schottenheimer has developed the teams he has been in charge of into contenders.

Apparantly you're then only one in the KC area, or in the KC fanbase as a whole, that heard this.

From MONDAY:

“I want somebody who’s a shrewd evaluator of football talent,” Hunt said. “(His) job will be 24/7 to think about the football team. That’s the most important quality. Obviously I’m looking for a strong leader, a good communicator, preferably somebody who has experience in building a winning NFL team.”


Marty has NEVER been a GM and has NO experience building a winning NFL team as a GM. HE DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA.

Where does Hunt use the word "GM"??

That quote is from an article titled Hunt looking for ‘shrewd evaluator of football talent’ to replace Peterson.

The paragraph directly preceding the quote is:

"Clark Hunt wouldn’t identify any possible candidates to replace Carl Peterson as Chiefs general manager. Hunt, the Chiefs’ chairman, did reveal a list of qualities he’s looking for in Peterson’s replacement."

It was a press conference discussing the change at the GM position. Is it really necessary that he qualify his remarks in that manner?

Hunt didn't say "as a GM". Pay attention.

Maybe you should pay attention.

Yes, Hunt is looking to replace the general manager, but no, when he rattled off the qualities he's looking for in a new GM, he didn't say anything about looking for someone who has experience as a GM.

Did he state so explicitly? No. However, he is looking for someone who "has experience in building a winning NFL team." I interpret that as someone who has experience in building a winning NFL team from the management side, not coaching. How many coaches have made the successful transition to GM?

Marty doesn't have any experience outside of coaching.

The key word there is "interpret". He didn't say it, which was my point. Maybe your interpretation is right and maybe not, but quoting Clark doesn't resolve that issue.

youre right on this point, BUT you should also keep in mind that clark also wants someone who is about his own age, AND someone who is from outside the organization

Preferably, not necessarily.
