I say it is about time that this guy got the boot. I don't think anyone in the league likes this guy and will not trade anything with him because he overvalues everything he has. I can't believe what he was asking for to get rid of Trent Green when he was still a Chief. And then doesn't trade Tony G when he wanted to be traded and demanded to be. Even fans were saying trade him where he has a chance to win the big one.

Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Carl Peterson will step down as president, general manager and chief executive officer of the Kansas City Chiefs following the 2008 season, his 20th with the National Football League franchise.
Chief Operating Officer Denny Thum will serve as interim president and general manager while the Chiefs search for Peterson’s replacement, Chairman Clark Hunt said in a news release.
“Carl and I agreed that immediately initiating the search for the next Chiefs general manager would be the best thing for the future of the organization,” Hunt said in a statement.
Peterson joined the Chiefs in 1989 and has put together a 176-141-1 record, winning the American Football Conference’s West Division four times while reaching the AFC title game in 1993.
The Chiefs are 2-12 this season after San Diego scored 19 unanswered points yesterday, rallying for a 22-21 victory. Last season, Kansas City went 4-12.
“I am proud of my association with the Kansas City Chiefs and our many accomplishments over the last 20 years,” Peterson said. “I thank the Hunt family for the opportunity to lead the Chiefs organization and sincerely appreciate all the coaches, players, administrators and Chiefs employees with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working in my time here.”
