Team: Kansas City Chiefs
Sport: Pro Football (NFL)
Stadium: Arrowhead Stadium
Head Coach: Dick Vermeil
S uper Bowls: 1970 Super Bowl IV
Background:
The biggest change in Kansas City this off-season was to the
coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Greg Robinson resigned
shortly after the Chiefs lost 38-31 to the Colts in the playoffs.
In a strange turn of events, Robinson was replaced by Gunther
Cunningham, who was fired three years ago as Kansas City's
head coach. "It is the most unusual turn of events that
I've been part of in my professional career," Cunningham
said at the time. "And I'm very happy about it."
Cunningham inherits a defense that ranked No. 29 in the NFL
last season. Under head coach Dick Vermeil the Chiefs have
been all offense. Adding Cunningham balances that out. In
1995-98, when Cunningham was Kansas City's defensive coordinator,
the Chiefs allowed the fewest points in the NFL in two of
those seasons
