I remember this embarrassingly well. The last couple years of the Carl era, Nick had this True Fan fantasy - the kind of thing the guys high fiving to the Eric Fisher pick would whack off to - where Carl was going to put together THE DREAM TEAM of Bill Cowher as head coach and Brian Schottenheimer as OC and Marty overseeing everything like a wise old sage. I don't know if he/WPI ever outright reported it but he definitely claimed to people that the Chiefs were on the verge of trading for Ben Roethlisberger as part of this master plan to get Cowher to KC.
Then Carl got shitcanned, Pioli hired, Herm fired, and Nick leapt onto the Shanahan train until it derailed in his ass. Then from there he inexplicably went back to Cowher and did his classic bit "they'll be having a meeting in the next 24-48 hours" about Pioli and Cowher. And the kicker was he also claimed Marty would be part of the meeting. As if Pioli gave two fucking shits about Marty or the non-existent 90s Chiefs dynasty Nick was so desperate to reform.
Meanwhile, as the actual media was reporting the Chiefs were closing in on Todd Haley, Nick said it was just a smokescreen and Haley would most definitely not be the Chiefs next coach.

Even if Gaythan had been 100% correct, the Chiefs still would've sucked ass.
