I think we can all admit that something is working extremely well in KC.
First, it's coaching. Not just Reid but the entire staff that he brought with him. Just a few years ago it seemed like we had a coaching staff of four, and our HC wouldn't let the OC coach. Now we probably need to charter a second plane just to transport our coaching staff. It's insane, but awesome.
Second, the front office has been outstanding in finding players that fit the system and could replace many of the guys we lost. 2015 will be the first year that Dorsey and his staff can really approach the draft trying to find the best player possible. I'm excited to see what they do.

The coaching has been excellent. But let's not forget that with a pile of shit QB carousel under Pioli, we still managed a playoff game and were 1 win away from making the playoffs the following year. This team has always been a QB away from being competitive. Regardless of your opinion of Alex Smith, he's a legit NFL QB whereas Cassel, Quinn, and Palko definitely were not. It's just a shame that for 3 years, Pioli wasted 3 years of that window.
