Ya, I don't get the misplaced hate. He was the one of very few that was very vocal in thinking the Chiefs needed to blow things up and toss aside old and out of their prime vets to focus on youth and new talent- something that was fought against by the front office looking to maintain the .500 hovering record bc of fear of a rebuild and a few shitty seasons, which we got anyway.
Maybe I don't want him on the sideline as my head guy on Sunday, but he's a lot better than most of the color and commentary guys at ESPN. Not to mention, he one of the few national guys that actually pays attention to what KC is really doing and still talks with many sources in the Chiefs organization still so he has a bit better understanding of their plan and process then most national TV and radio guys.
Perfect no, but what has he said lately or in a while that causes sure ire by some? His local segments in KC radio are more illuminating than most. Or, maybe people just want more Racin' Boys, Jim pushing his diet cookies, Smoke n BBQ, or Stan Weber droning on in his monotone boring segments -
Harlan is so busy and long removed he has no special insight anymore with the Chiefs, and Holtus is so ra-ra cheerleader that his credibility is crap because he overhypes the positive and is rarely critical of anything to the point that his opinion has the about as much bite and candor as a toothless $2 whore.
