John Mackovic (30-34)
John Mackovic was named head coach of the Chiefs for the 1983 season. In his four seasons as head coach, he also was offensive coordinator. Mackovic’s first three Chiefs teams missed the playoffs. In his final season, the Chiefs made the playoffs as a Wild Card, their first playoff appearance in 15 years and only their second since the AFL–NFL merger. Team owner Lamar Hunt fired Mackovic days after they were eliminated. The catalyst behind Mackovic’s dismissal was a meeting between Hunt and eight of the most prominent Chiefs.
