Do you really expect John Dorsey and Clark Hunt to detail every event for you?

What other team has had more quick success than we have had except for the Broncos, Seahawks and Cowboys?

This is short sighted nonsense.
Instead of signing a journeyman QB in 2013 or giving the starting job to Chase Daniel, the Chiefs traded two second round picks for Alex Smith, who's proven to be a short term solution and has one playoff win in 4 attempts.
Meanwhile, teams like the Raiders, Titans and Buccaneers didn't go for a "Quick Fix" and are set up long term with their quarterbacks and franchises.
Now, the Chiefs are way behind the 8 Ball and are essentially starting over in 2018, as it's likely they'll start the 2nd year QB while losing players like Hali, DJ, Bailey, Colquitt and more. Not only is their cap in bad shape, even after they cut these players, they'll need to find adequate replacements.

It's pretty clear that you have no experience in upper management or with CEO's. If there's a slowly, festering toxic environment in the workplace, that will bring an organization of any kind down more quickly than you can imagine.
Clark felt that was already happening and put a stop to it.
