Denny Thum, who has handled almost every responsibility except coaching in his 35 years with the Chiefs, added a new title Friday when he was appointed the fourth president in club history. Its quite a story, and I think its quite an accomplishment, said Thum, 57, who was interim president since the Chiefs replaced Carl Peterson in December. Through Lamar (Hunt), through Jim Schaaf, through Carl Peterson, through Jack Steadman, Ive been given opportunities to go ahead and use my talents. Theyve been satisfied with what Ive done, and Ive been afforded the opportunities to continue to grow with this organization. Source: The Kansas City Star
