Yea, you need to do a story about the infamous meeting at Nick Lowery's house that got Mackovic fired and Gansz the HC job. Even though I was a kid, I still remember that many fans clamored for Gansz to be HC after the Special Teams pretty much single handedly get them into the playoffs.
No wonder the players supported a known liar, they hardly had any moral leg to stand on after a secret meeting with the owner to get the coach that just got them to the playoffs fired in Ganz's favor. No wonder that team was so bad, players with no character tend to not win much.
From the mid 1970s to before 1989, nobody went to Chiefs games until Lamar Hunt hired Carl Peterson, who hired Marty Schottenheimer, and the rest is history.
Mackovic enjoyed success at the college and international level, but never coached in the NFL again. He has made it clear that he hates professional football players and NFL owners as a result of being bounced from his one and only NFL head coaching stint.
@oubrioko that's probably why I wouldn't include him with former KC Head Coaches who were successful with other teams. Other teams to me implies other NFL teams, not college or other leagues. As the difficulty level is a lot lower outside the NFL
As a Chiefs fan, I remember this all too well. It was their kicker Nick Lowery that forced Macovic out after they made the playoffs in '86. The Ganzs era was good in one respect: we got Marry Schottenheimer and the Chiefs had a revival in the 90's.
I'm a Saints fan, first and foremost, to get that out of the way, but Ive always had a large amount of respect and even admiration for the Chiefs, their AFL historical roots, the rock-solid, strong hierarchical organizational structure the team has had, and continues to flourish under the Hunt family, but its amazing how 35 years, one of the NFL's most currently successful.franchises was a cluttered, listless, seemingly disorganized mess. Its almost like Chiefs went into a deep, comatose period after their epic 1971 AFC div. playoff double OT loss to Miami for nearly two decades, with a few brief , lingering moments of clarity shining in now and again.
@@davidroberts7282 I don't remember any moments of clarity though. After 1972 the dynasty's took over so KC was a backwater town that couldn't compete. Owner Hunt kept his friend Steadman on as Chairman they were really horrible together, and cheap. But yes, it's true the Gansz debacle was the final straw it was a great lesson.
3:41 Christian Okoye. A fine back As a Broncos fan, my favorite memory of him is when he got obliterated by Steve Atwater. To Okoye's credit, he bounced right back up, though.
@@slimischillin7753 No that hit was one of the baddest hits I've ever seen and you're talking to a former raven season ticket holder who watched Ray Lewis's entire career. And if you're gonna say Ray Lewis couldn't hit you I'm gonna laugh in your face
I saw one site say that Paul Wiggin was the worst coach in Chiefs history. I’d vote for Frank Gansz, strictly for the football reasons you cited in this video.
Wiggin had very little talent and inherited a very old team from Stram, for the most part. Gansz had better overall talent and a younger team. Ironically, he too won his first game.
I was born at the end of Stram's run and really young when Wiggin was the coach but I think his biggest issue was inheriting the team when all the greats were too old. The Chiefs are a really interesting case study in coaches. First Coach is a Hall of Famer, then two duds, then a Hall of Famer, then two duds, then an arguable Hall of Famer, a dud, an arguable Hall of Famer, a few duds, and another likely Hall of Famer. They have only had 13 head coaches in 61 years and 5 of them are either in the Hall or could/should be. To me, the real issue they had was the GM position until Peterson got there and then Peterson overstayed his welcome. I think that Clark Hunt is not as much a sentimental person as Lamar so my thinking is they are better off under him than Lamar. I doubt Lamar would have pulled the trigger on Pioli despite all the on/off-field issues going on with the team under his watch. I have to vote for Gansz too. Fans sitting in section 119 at Arrowhead could make better decisions than that guy
Herm Edwards is my vote. His main goal was getting younger (instead of getting better), all the team problems were always someone else's fault, his press conferences were all just complete BS (I covered and transcribed them), he wanted to run a FG offense, but didn't want to have kicking competitions to get the best kicker, AND he thought 21 points were a lot points! He actually said scoring 21 points was like arena league football! He was the worst.
I'm not a fantasy player, but I'm glad you're getting some sponsorship, and I don't fast forward through the ad. You deserve the ad support, for sure. Happy to see it.
I remember this story very well. You explained it perfectly. It was unbelievable what Gansz did and said to get the job--So much fabrication. Great job telling this story
When a person says, "The only thing I remember saying..." That means, he doesn't remember all his lies... Nobody that is honest says things like that... An honest guy would know if he ever said he was... and would say "I didn't say that, because I wasn't a..."
The exclamation point for Gansz in 1988 was when he suspended Paul Palmer for the last four games of the season for "conduct detrimental to the team". Palmer had joked about leaving the ball on the ground a few times so they could get new coaches. Palmer ended up in Dallas, scoring the one TD in the one game the Cowboys won that season.
" unfortunately that's the last time innthe history of football that someone was able to dupe a major organization into getting what they want..." You also forgot about George O'Leary & Notre Dame
This is a great channel I just found a few hours ago. Great content, clearly presented, and most issues are from an era I lived in and loved (80s/90s). It's great to find a channel that covers those great years.
This story reminds me of George O'Leary, who was forced to resign from his job at Notre Dame after newspaper found out he lied about his athletic achievements in high school. Then the school found out O'Leary lied about his master's degree and quickly forced him out of the job after only 5 days he was hired to be the head coach of Notre Dame. O'Leary did well in Georgia Tech before the incident and did build the Central Florida football program after the Notre Dame scandal. As stated in the video, it's not wise to falsify your resume ... especially it's a high exposure public job.
I think Notre Dame was having second thoughts on the hire, and started digging to find a way out of the contract. I doubt a thing he lied about on his application had anything to do with him getting the job. At the pro and college level a coaches achievements are relatively easy to research.
Frank Ganz was a great man! He graduated from the US Naval Academy. What have you ever done? Just made videos with a lisp? You probably can’t even do a push-up. The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star was the first jet fighter used operationally by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II. Ganz graduated in 1959. 15 years after you said they didn’t have any.
Interesting note about the Chiefs' 1987 finale at home against the Seahawks. Gayle Sierens, who was a news anchor at then-WXFL, Tampa Bay's legacy NBC affiliate that has since reverted to its previous WFLA-TV call sign, was NBC's play-by-play announcer for that game, becoming the 1st woman do perform such duties for a regular season NFL telecast.
I'm sorry, I might have watched this by mistake. When it said "lied about everything to get the job" I thought this would be about the current President. I have to say though, I love your videos, you make my old football cards come to life!
They all lie guys, no matter what party it is. If they are a politician, they are a liar. C'mon man! Also, this has nothing to do with politics. I swear, some people just can't let politics go, not for one fucking second. How pathetic. You must be fun at parties.
9:15 Steve Belichick says "I'm a proud father and everything I stand for is to instill values in those around me. Frank Gansz is inflating his resume. And there is one thing I've always taught my sons, it's that you never inflate."
"And I'll tell you one more thing--I wouldn't trust that lying SOB as far as I could throw him. If he were coaching against my team, I'd make sure we kept a close eye on everything he did on that sideline."
In graduate school (the 80s), we heard of a professor at a small Colorado university who lied about his doctorate. He was a beloved professor and was promoted to a dean when they did an extensive background review. He was fired, despite having a master's degree and was the college's favorite professor. It often comes back to bite you!
wow! another story I never heard about. I think it was interesting that he was able to pass anytime of background especially the NFL and not have his information vetted. thank you for the great video.
He won a Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams in 1999 as Special Teams Coach. Yes he was full of shit but he was a very good NFL coach. 2x NFL Special Teams Coach of the Year (1989, 1999.)
He drafted a lot of very good players that went to Pro Bowls. Jared Allen, Derrick Thomas, Tony Gonzalez, Derrick Carter etc. He brought Joe Montana, Priest Holmes, & Marcus Allen to KC via Free Agency. He brought in Marty Shottenheimer and Dick Vermeil. KC won a lot of regular season games but very few playoff games. TBH KC probably should have made the Super Bowl in 1993,1995 and 1997 but I doubt they would have won.
They were almost giving awway tickets to home games at Arrowhead during 1987-1988. And still, nobody but die-hards attended those festivals of self masochism. Watching grass grow was more interesting. Gansz talked a hell of a good game and that's about the only thing he was able to do. He could sell ice to eskimos, sand to arabs and BS to a dairy farmer.
His son Frank Jr would later become a special teams coach in the NFL. Dick Vermeil hired him in 2001 in Kansas City. Dick once said his father Frank Sr was the best ST coach he ever knew.
Basically every politician ever...liars always tell some truths, the devil is in the details, the details they either can't recall from telling prior or the extra small details they expound on when they don't even have to.
@@karlcooper8460 They both suck, ALL politicians are liars as I already previously said. Don’t buy into the Left Right paradigm. There are no “good guys” or sides in politics.
@White Summer if you think that Biden doesn't lie you are the idiot and the more comes out about that mass trespassing on January the more Nancy Pelosi is being exposed as the one who started it.
To be fair, though the 1986 Chiefs went to the playoffs they weren't a good team. So Gansz didn't turn a good team into a bad one...they just stayed bad.
I hate to say it but you're absolutely correct. The 86 Chiefs squeaked into the playoffs and immediately got bounced. It wasn't until 1989 when they hired a new GM Peterson along with new HC Shottenheimer that they got some discipline, good draft picks, a decent QB that they started winning a lot of games, but not many playoff games. I think Marty went 3-8 in the playoffs over 10 seasons. 2 of those wins were with Montana in the 93 season.
That is fascinating! I didn't know anything about this. I'm a born and raised New Yorker, so we're very selfish with sports. If that has nothing to do with a New York team, I really don't pay attention to it, this which is probably why I never heard about this. But how the hell did he continue coaching in the NFL after that?? 🤔 Hell, they even named a trophy after him awarded to the winner of any Navy and MSU matchup. 🙁 Many people continued considering him the best special teams coach ever. He even coached the special teams for the 1999 super bowl Rams. Talk about being Teflon. I'm floored that nothing came of that! If that would have happened today, with severe backlashes existing for such controversies, he would have been raked over the coals, and never forgiven. He wouldn't have been able to get a job selling peanuts at football games. I just don't understand how this was swept under the carpet and people forgot about it!
They lost 3 games when the defense was able to hold opponents to 7 points or less. My God they couldn't even score 3 field goals in any of those 3 games??? That's ridiculous
So, Chiefs Special Team Coordinator Frank Gansz _resigned_ to pursue potential offensive or defensive coordinator opportunities. Three days later... he _unresigned_ and was announced as the new Chiefs Head Coach.
Gansz saw TopGun one too many times in 1986 and thought he could pull another fast one. I'm surprised he didn't claim he lead a PLATOON in Vietnam as a point man.
No wonder Gansz was the coach who said one of his qbs was ready to play if given a chance yet not ready to start, like he was going to rotate QBs every drive or something
His special teams were loaded with starters from the defense and the offense who didn't play just their positions. You could've been as good a special teams coach as Gansz with those talented players on your punt and kick teams.
I really like your content, but the constant battle between your narrative and the horrible and annoying background music just wears me out. I keep turning up the volume to hear what you have to say, but that just makes the music louder. Please stop!!!
Lying about military service, especially combat service, is about as lame as it gets. Honestly, it's disrespectful. I didn't serve, but have plenty of family that did.
Chief coaching story of mine ( true ) 1997 Chiefs @ Oakland Monday Night. My D2 college coach ( in College HOF ) long retired was there . The OC for the Chiefs was ol QB for my coach . At half time , ol QBs sees my coach in the press box and asked “ what plans you think might work “ True story
@@erichaynes7502 solid man As freshman HC at UC Davis , Include in summer passing games as HS Wr . Went on to be All League for Aggies. His son was calling plays in the SB few yrs back. Browns took him from USC to coach to pick ; lefty Paul McDonal . Might have been HC for Cowboys if Jones didn’t buy the ream . Great career
Before I watched the video, I couldn't tell if you were talking about Frank Ganz or current Dallas cowboys Head Coach Mike "PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY" McCarthy!!! LOL. And yeah, I'm a Cowboys fan! LOL.
Back then in a time before computers everybody lied. Its not like now where everyone can do background checks in an instant it used to be so time consuming. So therefore if it sounded convincing enough they were hired.
I find one thing puzzling. With the exception of a Chicago Tribune article confirming the contents of the video the rest is silence. Even Wikipedia makes no reference to controversy. The only references are the Trib and this video. Weird.
If I had a nickel for every time a head football coach got into trouble for having a heavily fabricated resume, I would have two nickels (the other being George O'Leary). Which is not a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
Except for one detail wrestling is a work. Sergeant slaughter is a fictional character. This is like the legal distinction Terry Bollea made when he was on the stand in a court of law and explained Hulk Hogan has a 10" penis even though the man who plays him does not. In the fictional world of sergeant slaughter, sergeant slaughter was a marine drill instructor. You're comparing fiction to reality
Seems that Gansz oversold the military attitude/jargon/theme too much to begin with (didn't work with Les Steckel when he coached the 1984 Vikings either), and it's worse that he was greatly exaggerating about his exploits and much more than that.
Your noise gate is really aggressive. You can hear it turning on and off, and it's cutting off your voice unnaturally. Either that or you're manually muting the spaces. Letting you know in case you're not aware.
I remember thinking back in the day that Ganz was a poor choice to be HC. I read an article in the KC Star (or was it the KC Times....can't really remember which) where Ganz bragged about signing a scab punter, Kelly Goodburn. Everything was falling apart around him and he was bragging about a PUNTER! I remember thinking it must have been a slow news week for the local paper to publish that crap story

Basically every politician ever...liars always tell some truths, the devil is in the details, the details they either can't recall from telling prior or the extra small details they expound on when they don't even have to.
@White Summer At least you can trust Trump half the time Biden lies everytime he forms a word.
@@rustykuntz94 Trump was not a politician but Biden is HA "gotcha".
@@karlcooper8460 They both suck, ALL politicians are liars as I already previously said. Don’t buy into the Left Right paradigm. There are no “good guys” or sides in politics.
@White Summer if you think that Biden doesn't lie you are the idiot and the more comes out about that mass trespassing on January the more Nancy Pelosi is being exposed as the one who started it.
I get "fake it 'till you make it," but the military keeps records on everything. He needed to come up with something else.
Kind of bummed that the joke at the end was a Bishop Sycamore reference and not a George O'Leary reference.
To be fair, though the 1986 Chiefs went to the playoffs they weren't a good team. So Gansz didn't turn a good team into a bad one...they just stayed bad.
I hate to say it but you're absolutely correct. The 86 Chiefs squeaked into the playoffs and immediately got bounced. It wasn't until 1989 when they hired a new GM Peterson along with new HC Shottenheimer that they got some discipline, good draft picks, a decent QB that they started winning a lot of games, but not many playoff games. I think Marty went 3-8 in the playoffs over 10 seasons. 2 of those wins were with Montana in the 93 season.
Yet, they were good enough to be the 5th best team in the AFC and play in the wildcard game.
That is fascinating! I didn't know anything about this. I'm a born and raised New Yorker, so we're very selfish with sports. If that has nothing to do with a New York team, I really don't pay attention to it, this which is probably why I never heard about this. But how the hell did he continue coaching in the NFL after that?? 🤔 Hell, they even named a trophy after him awarded to the winner of any Navy and MSU matchup. 🙁 Many people continued considering him the best special teams coach ever. He even coached the special teams for the 1999 super bowl Rams. Talk about being Teflon. I'm floored that nothing came of that! If that would have happened today, with severe backlashes existing for such controversies, he would have been raked over the coals, and never forgiven. He wouldn't have been able to get a job selling peanuts at football games. I just don't understand how this was swept under the carpet and people forgot about it!
They lost 3 games when the defense was able to hold opponents to 7 points or less. My God they couldn't even score 3 field goals in any of those 3 games??? That's ridiculous
So, Chiefs Special Team Coordinator Frank Gansz _resigned_ to pursue potential offensive or defensive coordinator opportunities. Three days later... he _unresigned_ and was announced as the new Chiefs Head Coach.
Also, the F-14 isn’t an Air Force plane. It was a Navy one.
Yeah, I was just about to post that easy lie.
Gansz saw TopGun one too many times in 1986 and thought he could pull another fast one. I'm surprised he didn't claim he lead a PLATOON in Vietnam as a point man.
I hope no one finds out about my fake college degree, or even high school for that matter.
No wonder Gansz was the coach who said one of his qbs was ready to play if given a chance yet not ready to start, like he was going to rotate QBs every drive or something
He was still a good special teams coach. He died 10 years ago so let the man Rest In Peace.
His special teams were loaded with starters from the defense and the offense who didn't play just their positions. You could've been as good a special teams coach as Gansz with those talented players on your punt and kick teams.
I really like your content, but the constant battle between your narrative and the horrible and annoying background music just wears me out. I keep turning up the volume to hear what you have to say, but that just makes the music louder. Please stop!!!
So basically the “blood sport” director of football. lol. That’s hilarious.
Didn't Notre Dame also hire a head coach who lied about his reume?
That ending was hilarious
Lying about military service, especially combat service, is about as lame as it gets. Honestly, it's disrespectful. I didn't serve, but have plenty of family that did.
Chief coaching story of mine ( true )
1997 Chiefs @ Oakland Monday Night.
My D2 college coach ( in College HOF ) long retired was there . The OC for the Chiefs was ol QB for my coach .
At half time , ol QBs sees my coach in the press box and asked “ what plans you think might work “
True story
Hackett
@@erichaynes7502 solid man
As freshman HC at UC Davis ,
Include in summer passing games as HS Wr .
Went on to be All League for Aggies.
His son was calling plays in the SB few yrs back.
Browns took him from USC to coach to pick ; lefty Paul McDonal .
Might have been HC for Cowboys if Jones didn’t buy the ream .
Great career
I'm a life long chiefs fan and all I remember from this coach was a horrible 8-22-1 before finally ending the massacre and firing him.
Dennis O'Leary?! Oh no, just 40 years before hand lol
@@G50-o5w ah poop youre right
Before I watched the video, I couldn't tell if you were talking about Frank Ganz or current Dallas cowboys Head Coach Mike "PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY" McCarthy!!!
LOL.
And yeah, I'm a Cowboys fan!
LOL.
Suggestion: Eric Hipples 1981 debut vs Bears.
Frank Ganz = Les Steckel's evil double.
NFL TRIVIA Live on TWITCH Every Wednesday NIGHT!!!Frank Gansz would be BETTER OFF SPIKING the BALL into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!
Well that explains why the team for such losers. The guy had no coach stability and the players knew it
Back then in a time before computers everybody lied. Its not like now where everyone can do background checks in an instant it used to be so time consuming. So therefore if it sounded convincing enough they were hired.
Hey, gotta admit. Man coached an NFL team. So what if his path was laid with lies, at least he did it. Lol
Matt Stevens had a better td to int ratio in college than a lot of qbs drafted in his era
I find one thing puzzling. With the exception of a Chicago Tribune article confirming the contents of the video the rest is silence. Even Wikipedia makes no reference to controversy. The only references are the Trib and this video. Weird.
It happened pretty much the way it's been presented in this video. I witnessed it.
What's with the Astral Projection music?
Man was capping more than a Lids store
I headed out when he said he flew f14’s in the Air Force
Dude was trying to sound like hot shit but ended up getting thrown into it.
I really don't understand why people lie about Military service when it can EASILY be fact checked 🤦🏿♂️
If I had a nickel for every time a head football coach got into trouble for having a heavily fabricated resume, I would have two nickels (the other being George O'Leary). Which is not a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
This comes awfully close to stolen valor. He didn't deserve that extra year.
Someone needed to hold the spot until Marty found a way to get out of Cleveland
Wut? He went to the Naval Academy and flew in the Air Force?
IKR? At some point the people checking his resume have to be held accountable.
Well…. He ain’t got nothing on Biden.
Gansz was the first Sgt. Slaughter lied about his miltarty experience. Chiefs had great special teams in mid 80's. Also great secondary
Except for one detail wrestling is a work. Sergeant slaughter is a fictional character. This is like the legal distinction Terry Bollea made when he was on the stand in a court of law and explained Hulk Hogan has a 10" penis even though the man who plays him does not. In the fictional world of sergeant slaughter, sergeant slaughter was a marine drill instructor. You're comparing fiction to reality
@@deadend1041 It's a joke , because many years Sgt. Slaughter said out his mouth he was a real marine. He serve in Nam
Seems that Gansz oversold the military attitude/jargon/theme too much to begin with (didn't work with Les Steckel when he coached the 1984 Vikings either), and it's worse that he was greatly exaggerating about his exploits and much more than that.
He's the "George Santos" of NFL coaches!!
I forgot about Joe Mac. Was our coach....lol
Meet the Athletic Director of Bishop Sycamore
Your noise gate is really aggressive. You can hear it turning on and off, and it's cutting off your voice unnaturally. Either that or you're manually muting the spaces. Letting you know in case you're not aware.
I remember thinking back in the day that Ganz was a poor choice to be HC. I read an article in the KC Star (or was it the KC Times....can't really remember which) where Ganz bragged about signing a scab punter, Kelly Goodburn. Everything was falling apart around him and he was bragging about a PUNTER! I remember thinking it must have been a slow news week for the local paper to publish that crap story
Worse that the KC Star would publish that story..they probably wanted to get him fired as they wrote bad stuff about him ALL THE TIME.
I only have debriefs for private moments.
