New Chiefs head coach trades sweat pants for tailored suits
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Gunther Cunningham showed up in a tailored suit and tie Friday for his first day on the job as Kansas City Chiefs head coach.
Prior to this juncture, as predecessor Marty Schottenheimer might have said, Cunningham sported what might be called the "Pro Coach Casual" look — basically a pair of sweats and tennis shoes as he plotted defensive schemes inside Arrowhead.
"My wife had to do these clothes, although I do have two pairs of pants," Cunningham said.
And so Rene Cunningham has committed her first official act as a head coach's wife. It's a job she's been preparing for along with Cunningham in the 17 years that he has been an assistant, the last four as defensive coordinator under Schottenheimer.
"I admire Pat (Schottenheimer) so much. I told her if Gunther ever gets a chance to be a head coach, I hope I can live up to the standards I've seen you set," Rene Cunningham said.
In the whirlwind of interviews and speculation and wishing and hoping, it did not really sink in that Cunningham had reached the top of his profession until Rene, her sister and the two Cunningham children heard it on the radio while they were riding to the stadium.
"I said, 'Oh, that's the first time we heard this.' We all let out a squeal. We said, 'Wow, this is the right moment to squeal.' We're on our way to the stadium and we're ready to go," Rene Cunningham said. "I've been saying it in my mind for so many years, but it was so nice hearing someone else say it. It sounded just perfect."
Cunningham becomes the eighth coach in Chiefs history following the unexpected resignation of Schottenheimer after his 10 seasons failed to net a trip to the Super Bowl.
Cunningham's work ethic, knowledge of the Chiefs organization and ability to work with the players were among his top qualifications.
chief executive and general manager Carl Peterson said.
In short, Peterson kept the status quo with an infusion of new energy.
"He's a player's coach. They listen to him because they respect him." Peterson said.
"He's worked so hard at the game," said Terry Bradway, director of player personnel. "Everybody in the organization is excited because they know the energy Gunther brings to the job and now everybody else has a chance to feel that."
Cunningham knows that, as do his players. It's a bit of the status quo that will have to change.
Cunningham may not be a well-known, high-profile guy outside of Arrowhead — "I don't know much about him, but it was time for a change," said Alicia Brown as she headed into a Westport pizza shop in her Chiefs' jacket — but he has a solid reputation in NFL circles.
"If we couldn't have coach Schottenheimer back, we'd definitely love Gunn," said second-year running back Rashaan Sheehe. "Players will play for him."
Chicago Bears announce new coach
Jaguars coordinator is chosen after fiasco with earlier selection

first.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — This time, the Chicago Bears made sure they had a deal before announcing their new coach.
Dick Jauron, the defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars, agreed to contact terms late Saturday, team spokesman Bran Harlan said.
The move came less than 12 hours after Dave McGinnis flew home to Phoenix, still upset that team president Michael McCaskey had announced his hiring before they had an agreement.
Jauron was introduced at a news conference yesterday. He succeeds Dave Wannstedt, fired almost four weeks ago. The hiring also closes out an active offseason, in which nine NFL teams changed coaches and the expansion Cleveland Browns brought in their
"I was very impressed with Dick when he came in for his interview and thought he would make an outstanding head coach," McCaskey said. "He is an excellent teacher and is regarded as one of the more innovative coaches in the NFL."
Jauron's hiring caps an embarrassing two days for the Bears. The team called a news conference Friday to introduce McGinnis, the Arizona Cardinals' defensive coordinator and a former Chicago assistant, as their new coach.
But there was one big problem: McGinnis hadn't been offered the job yet.
"That was an internal foul-up," McCaskey said earlier Saturday at a news conference after McGinnis left.
"We made a mistake on that."
McCaskey refused to explain any further details.
McCaskey refused to explain further details. Team chairman Ed McCaskey, a personal friend of McGinnis and his wife, Kim, even called McGinnis on Friday night to try and smooth things over. But after another meeting with Michael McCaskey on Saturday morning, McGinnis withdrew his name and left town.
Now Dr. Mikemakes house calls.
