As for fans - well right now KC had a lot of low turnout and you can probably expect some of that to happen next year too.
What KC has in it's favor is cap space and draft position, but pieces already in place trumps those in my opinion. I'd rank the current GM opportunities like this:
1) Denver
2) Cleveland
3) KC

Reputation shouldn't be a factor for a new GM. Prestige, maybe, but not reputation. The rep was caused by Carl, not by the rest of the team. The new GM brings his own rep with him, and the players will recognize the rep of our new coaching staff and GM. That's why i think it's important we land recognized, established coaches that players want to play for.
As for the Fans, KC is known for having some of the most dedicated fans. That's what KC's reputation is, having loud, dedicated fans. It's well known why the fans weren't showing up to games last season. But if we bring in a known coach and draft a franchise QB, arrowhead will be packed again in no time. If history tells us anything, it should tell us that even a 7-9 type of ball club will pack the stadium
