LISTEN TO OUR EPISODE WITH HERE:
WHO IS CLARK HUNT?
Clark Hunt has been involved in the leadership of the Kansas City Chiefs for nearly two decades and currently serves as the club's Chairman and CEO. In January 2013, Hunt hired Head Coach Andy Reid and modified the leadership structure of the organization, announcing that for the first time in club history, the head coach, the general manager and the team president would all report directly to the Chairman and CEO.
In the club's past five seasons with Reid at the helm, the Chiefs have qualified for the playoffs four times and have won more games than any other new coach in that amount of time in franchise history.
OFF THE FIELD
Off the field, the Chiefs have made significant strides developing the fan experience, utilizing new technologies and innovative ideas. In 2013, Hunt and the Chiefs enjoyed a record-setting resurgence en route to a return to the NFL postseason.
Kansas City set a franchise record for the best single-season turnaround in the organization's 58-year history as the team finished with an 11-5 record — a nine-win improvement from the 2012 season.
Following the dramatic turnaround in 2013, Hunt was named the 2014 Waddell & Reed Executive of the Year by the Kansas City Sports Commission for his outstanding leadership in the Kansas City sports community.
The Chiefs returned to the postseason following the 2015 season, which saw a historic turnaround from a 1-5 record to a franchise-record 10-game win streak to close out the season. The club went on to a 30-point shutout victory at Houston in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, marking the franchise's first postseason victory in more than 20 years.
The Chiefs secured a spot in the NFL postseason for the second-consecutive season in 2016, finishing with a 12-4 record and winning the AFC West for the first time since 2010.
The 12-4 mark was the club's best finish since going 13-3 in 2003, earning a first-round bye and an AFC Divisional Game at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City swept the AFC West in 2016, the first time since 1995 that the club went undefeated in the division. The team appeared in a league-high six primetime contests during the year.
Prior to the start of the 2017 season, Hunt extended Reid's contract, making him the longest-tenured Chiefs head coach since Dick Vermeil's five-year stint (2001-05). On July 10, 2017, Hunt made a change in the leadership of the personnel department, naming Chiefs Co-Director of Player Personnel Brett Veach as the seventh General Manager in franchise history.
