'81 or '89 Chiefs?

[74_75_78_79_]

Levy's best KC squad vs Marty's first. Both finishing just above 500. Delaney vs Okoye, Still vs Derrick. Who's best between these two? Were either - or both - actually a better Chief team than the very '86 Mackovic squad that actually did make the playoffs?

Side note - Three different HCs in the '80s did lead KC to a winning record. '70s Rams one better with FOUR HCs leading the franchise to a winning record in that period: Allen, Prothro, Knox, and Malavasi. Any other franchise with four winning HCs in a decade? Or at least three like KC?

Very good. That one was right under my nose although I do remember Al Groh; and asking myself why he'd leave after just one (winning) year albeit the December collapse and he wanting to go back to his alma mater.

Parcells' abrasiveness and interference did it.

'81 team beat Denver/Tampa Bay + played the Chargers close. '89 team beat Houston/Green Bay, give the Broncos/Browns fits.

I got to go '81 because they were in a tougher AFC West and tougher conference (The AFC of 1989 gave us the only team since the merger to get a first-round bye WITHOUT 10 wins)

The 1940's Redskins had four head coaches with winning seasons. It seems George Preston Marshall had a tendency to go through coaches. I'm sure WWII was a factor as well.
Ray Flaherty, Dutch Bergman, Dudley DeGroot and Turk Edwards.

The 1960's Raiders-Al Davis, John Rauch, John Madden

The 1990's Cowboys- Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey.

The 1990's Colts- Ted Marchibroda, Lindy Infante, Jim Mora

2000's Colts-Mora, Tony Dungy, and Jim Caldwell
