Chiefs owner ranked worst in NFL, players union poll shows after back-to-back Super Bowls


The Kansas City Chiefs may be back-to-back champions, but apparently there's still a lot left to do.

The Chiefs officially made their mark as a dynasty, becoming the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since 2005, and winning their third title in five years earlier this month.

However, despite his crazy streak, Clark Hunt received an F-minus grade from players in the league, the worst in the NFL.

“Players are frustrated by workplace deals, especially after the team's sustained success in recent years,” the NFLPA said in its survey results.

The players' main concern is Hunt's inability to renovate his “backward” facilities, especially his locker room. The survey says Hunt apparently told players that renewals would be made last year, but they never came.

“Although players were given real chairs with backrests to sit at their locker in response to last year's comments, that didn't change the fact that the locker room is overdue for a renovation. Adding to the frustration is that management is telling them He told the players that the renovations would come after the 2022 season. The players won the Super Bowl and when they returned to their facilities for the 2023-2024 season, they realized that the team never followed through on the promised renovation (aside from adding chairs). “

The team also received F's in nutrition and personnel training, placing 31st and 32nd, respectively. Players feel they do not receive enough individualized treatment and staff are not “willing to provide support/treatment to all players.”

“It is clear from the results that there has been no significant reinvestment in the facilities, even after continued success,” the report states. “That has led to a high level of frustration among players surveyed and is reflected in club owner Clark Hunt's ranking as the least willing to invest in team facilities among all NFL owners/ownership groups, in the opinions of the respondents”.

The Chiefs did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the study.

In contrast, players rated Andy Reid as the best head coach in the league.

Nobody had repeated since the New England Patriots in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

The Chiefs have not shied away from their desire to become the first team to win a third title, a feat no one has accomplished in the four major sports since the Los Angeles Lakers from 2000 to 2002.
