I'm curious to see peoples comments. Head Coach: Mike Shanahan Off. Coor: Al Saunders QB Coach: Brian Schottenheimer Off. Line: Bob Saunders Running Backs: Jimmy Raye Sr. Tight Ends: John Embree Wide Receivers: Eric Price Def. Coor: Dom Capers Def. Line: Romeo Crennel Linebackers: Gunther Cunningham Secondary: David Gibbs Special Teams: A proven, successful coach When you look at these coaches, a collection of former head coaches and coordinators, you see the possibility of a successful product on the field. The number one task for Mike Shanahan and the new GM will be for every coach to check their egos at the gate and come together, game plan, develop schemes that no other team in the NFL will be able to compare. What a fantasy but who knows, anything is possible in the NFL. Here’s a new coaching staff I dreamed up. I’m curious to see peoples comments.

Of those 7 clubs you mentioned, all have been to the SB since the Chiefs except the Cards ( who still may go) and the Detroit Lions. If according to your measure of success, we are only trying to keep teams like New Orleans, and Atlanta from winning a Super Bowl we have done our job as the 9th worst team on the list. I say 39 years is way to long to reach, let alone win a SB. This team is behind crappy teams like the Arizona Cardinals if success is measured in reaching the conference championship game in the last 15 years. Every new startup team has won a playoff game since we won our last after the 93 season. We are in the bottom 1/4 - 1/3rd of the league in playoff success the last 40 friggin' years. The Chiefs, of which I am a fan and 21 year season ticket holder, are an also ran. There is no measuring stick you can use to make them look like a success the last 39 years. NONE!

My favorite year & team remains 1966 because that is the year that put the Chiefs here to stay and was the most exciting year in KC Chiefs history as it was the year AFL finally met NFL. 1967 my 2nd favorite (as well disappointing) season & 1970 next...without 1966, there may well not have been any Chiefs teams thereaft. Up to that season - 1966 - there was a very real sentiment (though denied by the club) the Chiefs were looking at leaving KC for another locale due to attendance. LA/Anaheim, New Orleans, Atlnata & Miami were all potential new landing spots. 1966 success which begot improved attendance made all talk of that non sequitur. :-) NFL fan says:

I got a question for you guys which Chiefs team would you rank after the 1966 and the 1970 teams my top five after those teams would be in this order 1. 1993 2.1990 3.1997 4. 1995 5. 2003 Why I picked the 93 team first was because they went in the playoffs as the underdogs and shown a lot of heart being the underdogs against Pittsburgh , and Houston that year going into Buffalo might have been a different outcome had Kimble Anders had caught the ball from Montana for the score before the half. And the fact if Montana had not suffered that concussion during the game . We would have played the Cowboys in that Super Bowl .Now winning it might have been a different story because Dallas had more talent then but I just loved the way the Chiefs had prove the critics wrong those two games. Great Memory! Wow 1970 !I was just four years old when the Chiefs won a championship . I got a question for you guys which Chiefs team would you rank after the 1966 and the 1970 teams my top five after those teams would be in this order 1. 1993 2.1990 3.1997 4. 1995 5. 2003 Why I picked the 93 team first was because they went in the playoffs as the underdogs and shown a lot of heart being the underdogs against Pittsburgh , and Houston that year going into Buffalo might have been a different outcome had Kimble Anders had caught the ball from Montana for the score before the half.
