It wasn't Green and Barbaro. They were gone by 86. Lowery was one of them.: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ins...ight_shooting/ The last time Mackovic's players protested his actions, some 16 years ago, Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt sided with the players and fired him. Hunt probably had had enough of Mackovic, anyhow. But even now, it’s hard overlooking the role of the players and Frank Gansz, an ambitious assistant who ended up with the head job. I come with the perspective of having been part of the Kansas City newspaper’s coverage of the Chiefs in 1986. That season, which was Mackovic’s fourth in K.C., the Chiefs improved to 10-6 and made their first playoff appearance in 15 years. But days after a playoff loss to the New York Jets, Hunt drove to the home of place-kicker Nick Lowery for a meeting with him and seven other players, including Pro Bowlers Deron Cherry, Art Still and Albert Lewis. The postseason turmoil erupted when defensive coordinator Walt Corey was offered a job with the Buffalo Bills, followed by the resignation of Gansz, a nonstop yell-leader who oversaw special teams. Within hours of huddling with the players, Hunt fired Mackovic and handed the job to Gansz, whom I later reported had fibbed about his military and coaching background and who himself was gone two seasons later after compiling an 8-22-1 record. Behind his back, some K.C. coaches referred to Mackovic as Mouse-ovic. They spoke of him as being whiney and unwilling to take blame when the offense, his specialty, faltered. |

Thanks Sib kat,
Lowry was the player rep. That's why his name stuck with me. |

Lebo is a near-sighted, bald version of KK.
Both, are douche bags.
