Hank Stram Axed By KC Chiefs
Kansas City owner Lamar Hunt fired Hank Stram, the Chiefs’ first head coach, to revitalize the organization. Stram, 52 next January, was informed at a midafternoon news conference after seven years left on a 10 year contract. Jack Steadman will lead the search and handle contracts while Stram’s payroll terms are honored as due. The club’s worst season, 5-9, prompted the move. Hunt denied Shula rumors and pledged a youthful replacement as the Chiefs seek a new head coach.
