Was disappointed when he was named head coach; I didn't want another fired coach with a failed system. Was even more disappointed when he named Alex Smith as the Chiefs starting QB. Have called for his head for the various perceived blunders with time management and continued Chiefs PTSD pre-Mahomes.
I was wrong; he is really good at devising plays to get players open and seems to be genuinely liked by his players. Something that's probably not easy to do given the huge egos involved.
So, the next time I forget this (and I'm sure I'll get emotional and curse at him), I will do my best to remember the late 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and most of the 10s when the Chiefs were simply a team that played well in the regular season and would lose to any and all teams when it really matters.
I was especially impressed how he stated the obvious; that Mahomes makes everyone around him look so much better... Even the coaching staff.
