The problem with this organization has long been accountability. There seems to be a parallel universe in this fanbase -- some folks think the Hunt's are just peachy keen for being great businessmen while others hate the fact they have paid in so much for so little.

And some, like myself, see how they have managed and mismanaged their other teams and see that there is a pattern. If they are making money or, not bleeding it, the status quo (no matter how miserable) is cool beans and if they aren't then things seem to get done.

Even if Andy Reid turns out to be a bad hire after several years. I admire Clark Hunt as a man who cares about the Chiefs and the fans. He gets an A+ for effort. He went out of his way to get the best coach he sees fit to lead the Chiefs got the kind of coach he said he wanted to get. Clark Hunt took action as soon as the season was over when he could do something about it.

This is what I think is the best thing Clark did with a bad situation. He secured one of the top coaching candidates shortly after he became available. He put KC back on the map as a top destination even with Chicago and San Diego sitting on the board and considered two of the most attractive job openings. I eat crow on that one and I think he's done a great deal to rehab the image of KC not being a desirable destination at this time.

So once again, kudos! Great first step!!!!
