Arrowhead Adventures..The Ownership Question

by Chiefs

Overall, NFL fans are not a patient group. A year or two of losing, and we demand player changes, coaching changes, and managerial changes.

But what about ownership?

The great Lamar Hunt owned the Chiefs until his death (damn I miss him), at that point of course his son Clarke took over.

Lamar started the Chiefs off with a bang, two trips to the big time in three years, winning one in 1969.

But that was it.

Some trips to post season mixed in with more losing seasons than any of us care to think about in all those years.

A look back over all those seasons, reveals  many coaches, more than one GM, but the same owner.

A couple of other teams, the Raiders and the Lions have similar histories, and similar stories to go along with it.

And what about moves?

The Chiefs have been in KC since the Chiefs became the Chiefs. Same old story. Other teams that moved such as the Rams and Colts boast mulitple Superbowl trips for their efforts.

Detroit? Well same old city, same old win loss records. Oakland? Mulitple moves, multiple Superbowl trips.

Dont get me wrong Addicts. The last thing I want is the team to move from KC. KC moves, so does my NFL loyalty. And ownership? Well I miss Lamar Hunt, and I feel that Clarke Hunts position is in fact representative of new ownership.

What do you think Addicts? Can the current ownership and team location result in a Superbowl win for the Chiefs?

Randy I think you make some valid points here. When fans try to figure out why the Chiefs have not won a SB in so many years it is logical to look at other teams and see how our histories measure up. Maybe Clark will have the same passion his Dad had when he began the Chiefs. SOMETHING has gotta give in this equation, we are loyal fans and I think we have suffered without a SB long enough!

If all the coaches are allowed to coach and not be second guessed by Haley yes we do have the makings of a SB team and really not that far in the future as a 40+ year fan of my beloved Chiefs i have to say not since Marrty have i been this fired up i am 50 so hay Clark i don't have much time work the magic.

Of course Clark can win us a SB.

It is really, really hard to win the big game. The Patriots went 16-0 and couldn't even get it done.

The Chiefs gave the fans one hell of a 90's and a decent start to the decade. The franchise has fallen on some hard times but the Chiefs haven't been stinkers for too long. We just need some patience.

The Steelers have never moved and they have won more Super Bowls than any NFL team in history.

The Chiefs will be just fine. =)
