Chiefs president reveals near resignation amid 1977 season turmoil
Kansas City Chiefs president Jack Steadman spoke of a near resignation during the disastrous 1977 season after two head coach firings and fan ousters. He recalled considering a different lifestyle as criticism mounted over Wiggin and Bettis cuts, the season's 2-12 record, and a season ticket package tied to preseason games. Steadman credited owner Lamar Hunt for support and warned criticism would persist until on-field success returns. He noted plans tied to a new TV contract and long term profitability projections through 1982.
