gochiefsgo 380 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Chiefs fans will always remember how well his defenses played and his fiery attitude with his players. Oh yeah. My Chiefs just kicked your ass! Loved that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 His defenses carried us to two 13 win seasons in three years. And that 1997 group holds an amazing NFL record by holding 10 straight teams without a second half TD. Had Gannon been the playoff QB that group would be remembered as one of the best ever in my opinion. Loved his passion overall. We could all learn from that. As rules changed his approach grew stale and you needed fire and a cerebral guy he really wasn’t. But overall his passion for people was his calling card and he will always be a fixture in the memories of Chiefs fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer 8,694 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I always like Gunther..maybe too old school with a Patton complex and not able to adjust to the new NFL but I liked him anyway. RIP Gun & say hi to DT for me "I lived without my left knee having an ACL all my life," Cunningham told ESPN in 2017. "In those days, you didn't get hurt. You just kept playing."

We went into that game after an awful 1-3 or 1-4 start and took out all of our frustrations on that Ravens on the road that night. Our offensive line just embarrassed their front 7 all day long with physical play we may never see from a Chiefs oline again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCK Chiefs Fan 425 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I learned a quote many many years ago that is very very true, "To live in the hearts you leave behind is Not to Die", Gun will live on for a longtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,158 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 RIP Gunther. For myself, the most memorable thing he said was in training camp, during his second stint as DC with the Chiefs. He was discussing a play with one of the Chiefs linebackers, and it was about a mistake he made. He said something like " we're gonna sit down and watch it together over and over" It wasn't the most noted thing he's said, but I always thought that was funny, and showed how he was as a coach.
