Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt Spills the Secret Behind Sustaining Successful Runs For Six Seasons

Securing their second consecutive Super Bowl win was truly a dynastic moment for the Kansas City Chiefs. While the team is 64 years old, its days of glory are very recent. After three Super Bowl wins and two rings, the $4.3 billion franchise is not an easy asset to maintain as confirmed by Clark Hunt.

Clark Hunt is the chairman of the Hunt Sports Group, a position through which he manages the Kansas City Chiefs. In his recent interview via NFL on ESPN, the Chiefs chairman recently delved into the team’s journey to sustained success that has come into existence very recently. Choosing to remain frank, he even brought the importance of several key factors into the conversation. According to Hunt, the coaching staff, specifically the head coach, a young talented franchise quarterback, and the continuous evolution of their roster are the pillars of the Chiefs’ development.

“First of all I think you’ve got to have the right coach, which we do with Andy, and he’s got a tremendous staff.”

It is undeniable that Patrick Mahomes’ has tremendous significance being at the center of the Chiefs, and Clark acknowledged it one hundred percent. According to the chairman of the Hunt Sports Group, Mahomes’ leadership and skill have helped the team achieve new levels of glory. He also lauded the roster management of general manager Brett Veach whose tough decisions have ensured consistency among the Chiefs.

Furthermore, Clark went on to reveal that the Chiefs’ commitment to drafting well was central to their dominating formula. Without strong draft selections, sustaining success in the competitive atmosphere of the NFL is an uphill battle. Hence, the Chiefs’ ability to continually update their roster while keeping their core strong has caused them to embrace continued dominance.

In their pursuit of a three-peat, the Kansas City Chiefs are resolved to carve out a lasting legacy in NFL history. With a star-studded roster and the required core players, they aim to secure a place as the first team to achieve this milestone in the Super Bowl era. Chairman Clark Hunt credits the team’s success to general manager Brett Veach’s immaculate roster management skills. Hunt feels Veach excels in making tough decisions that help the team grow and succeed.

“Brett’s been very adept at making those hard judgments on, you know, letting some guys go whether it’s through free agency or trades and then doing a fantastic job of replacing them by drafting well. I think if you don’t draft well it’s very hard to be successful in the National Football League.”
