After seeing Arrowhead 60% empty most of the season...if its one thing the Hunt family understands, its $$$.

True, but beyond that, there is legacy. It had to kill Hunt to see that what his dad built had gone completely to shit. Yes, money is a lot, but to a rich successful guy like Clark Hunt, money isn't everything. He's not personally hurting financially that badly over this last season's (and really the last 4 season's) debacle. But to see banners, blackouts, public frustration with his pick of a GM so demonstrably shown...it had to kill the man. His actions over the last 2 weeks solidify that in my mind.

Just pisses me off!!!!
He came in with such promise but absolutely destroyed the organization very soon after. Sure there were some things he came in and had to clean up on and off the field but there were also big parts of the organization that were working very well (namely relations with the fanbase). He choose to destroy everything... even the stuff he thought was good. There was literally a dark cloud that hung above KC and for sure Arrowhead. The day Pioli was fired, it was like the dark cloud went away, much like in a movie. In the end the Chiefs franchise turned into the one thing every fanbase hopes they never witness or a part of. I'm sure it is the way the Lions fans felt with Millen in charge. It is the lowest of lows and the only way to fix the mess is to completely clean house and start over... we are doing that right now. |

I think I can honestly say now that I would have preferred Carl and Herm for 4 more years over the Scott Pioli regime. That's sad.

I'm praying that Poe becomes a player, and Allen and Hudson work out on the line. Other than that, yeah...

You know what was the first moment I knew this franchise was f**ked? It was when I saw the banners go down inside the stadium on gameday. The moment I no longer heard much about player charity stuff publicly. When I saw Gonzo wanting out shortly after the hire and the whole Brian Waters ordeal. We should have known right then something horrible was going on and about to happen in a grand scale.
I really hate myself for saying this but I agree with you... I would have taken four more years of Herm over this mess. At least I was entertained in defeat. |

Hiring Herm was devastating but not even close as bad as Pioli imo. Herm had some redeeming qualities, Pioli had none.

It was time for Herm to go. That was the right decision. Pioli was a reasonable choice for GM. Turned out bad, and we got rid of him at the first reasonable opportunity. Stuff like that happens. It doesn't mean we should have kept Herm. I dare say...
It's a process. |

The only thing that might have been better is if Clark had just said "Yeah, we decided to take the charter straight back to Dallas, not KC. Here's a ticket Scott, we'll drop you off at the bus station on our way to the airport."
