Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt stood in a semi-circle of reporters on Wednesday, pressed over a somewhat surprising development earlier in the day.
A strong contingent of his players, who will soon be slipping on yet another Super Bowl ring — the third in five years for some of them — had some notes to share with their team owner and the outside world about the franchise’s inner workings.
Their head coach, Andy Reid? He landed an A+ rating among a strong contingent of Chiefs players who took part in the second annual NFL Players Association survey, which was released Wednesday.
Reid’s grade was the best in the league among head coaches, according to the union.
And that’s where the organizational flowers ran out.
In 10 other categories, the back-to-back Super Bowl champion franchise didn’t get a single rating from their players higher than a C+.
Most shockingly, they landed two Ds (training room and team travel), one D+ (treatment of families), three Fs (nutritionist/dietician, locker room and training staff) — and one absolute anchor-dragging.
[They were told] they were going to renovate it. They go on to win the Super Bowl, they come back for offseason — same locker room, but with chairs [instead of stools].
