Is anyone else liking this?

After the season ended I was really discouraged about the short term future of this franchise. Then Peterson resigned and we waited forever to figure out who the new GM would be. When Pioli was announced I got a new sense of enthusiasm about the teams future. We had just signed the top GM prospect.

Then came the seemingly neverending wait for the HC decision...and Herm was fired. Then comes the Superbowl and we still have no HC and it was driving me nuts. I didn't know what we were going to do and started to think we were running out of options.

Today Haley is announced and we now have 2 very bright people in out top 2 positions.

Anyways, I am rambling but after seeing the job Clark Hunt has done with his first 2 selections I am probably more excited than i have ever been during the offseason. I am loving the fact that people are writing articles saying "with Pioli and Haley and 45 mil salary cap room KC is suddenly looking scary".

I just want to know if everyone is as excited and optomistic as I am about the next few years in KC. With a new stadium and a change in leadership and what I feel will be a huge offseason for us, the sky's the limit. I really feel that we can be a strong playoff team very soon. Things are looking up.....way up for the Chiefs.

EDIT: Damn I almost forgot DT was also voted to the Hall of Fame finally. Another positive for us this offseason.

Drama.

I am so glad to have found a place where all of the Chiefs brotherhood can celebrate together ,or be pissed together. Over all, its been pretty dramatic since the end of the season. I think that now that the dust is settling a bit, everyone seems to be pretty happy, and optimistic. I am for sure! I say party on A.P. Ditto on the RedDawn post.

very excited

Should be able to blame any weak performances on carl and herm for a year, maybe even two. If this cast of characters can’t right this ship, I really don’t have a clue who could. Maybe the NFL has reached the ultimate state of parity where superbowl appearances are purely random happenings given the equality of the teams. Wait, I don’t believe that. We are going to strike fear in the teams of this league and arrowhead is going to be the place where visitors come to receive dose of defeat. The rest of the AFC west may be excused to launder their short.

I think it should be three very bright people in the top three positions

Owner
GM’
Head Coach

We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.

Ok already, if you don't agree with what I am saying, just don't email my mom again. She beat the crap out of me with my keyboard!

Like all relationships.....Its always fun in the beginning....

I want to see how long the honeymoon last………….. The optimism has got to be at an all time high, but guarded nonetheless.

Opinions are like A--holes, everyones got one.

It's not just a new chapter in the chronicles of the Chiefs...

It’s an entirely new novel now. What excites me most isn’t just the fact that we have global change at 1 Arrowhead Drive but its the potential chemistry among the top 3 administrators. Some might look at Hunt, Pioli and Haley and see 3 very young and vulnerable guys with a very young team. But what you can’t dispute in each case is that these guys were all mentored in their respective positions by legendary talent; they’ve learned from some of the best. Couple that with their own successes thus far and its hard not to be giddy when envisioning the Chief’s future. I can already feel the excitement in the parking lot of the 2009 home opener.

Im pumped

and I will be at the home opener. I went last year and was so pissed i had to go to a titty bar afterwards. By the mid point of last season I swore to myself that I would not give Clark Hunt any of my money unless he did something about the team. Well he did and Im going!

Where is this article? On AP?

"if our players are half as excited as I am right this moment then TonyG will win his first playoff game next season. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind."
