He needs to put life in perspective. Gunther has a wife and two kids, and he bragged about showing up to work at 5 on Christmas morning. I hope that when Chiefs president Carl Peterson explained to Cunningham why he was being dumped there was a paragraph or two about how Cunningham spent Christmas morning. Cunningham has a warped view of the world. He's spent so much time locked in a football office that it's difficult for him to relate to normal people.
Football players are normal people.
Cunningham convinced himself that he cared the most about the Chiefs because he spent the most hours inside Arrowhead Stadium tending to Chiefs business. He believed that in his heart, and he often verbally conveyed that feeling to his players and assistant coaches. What Cunningham can't comprehend is that normal people shouldn't be expected to live and breathe football 20 hours a day. There are other NFL coaches who work as many hours as Cunningham, but, for the most part, those coaches know that they're freaks and that their colleagues and players can be just as committed to winning without putting in the same hours. Cunningham would be a much better football coach if he spent a few years in the real world.
