You figure someone has to determine whether or not the Hunt Family should vote to lock the players out next year.
The Kansas City Chiefs have hired Dan Crumb as their chief financial officer, the team reported Friday.
Plus, dude is a CPA so we like the move. The real question is, are the Chefs for real?
Crumb has a bachelor’s in finance from the University of New Orleans and an MBA from Tulane University. He is a certified public accountant and a member of the American Institution of Certified Public Accountants.
The Chiefs did not have a CFO before Crumb’s appointment. Crumb’s hiring comes two days after the Chiefs announced that Denny Thum had stepped down as president and that Chairman Clark Hunt had taken the title of CEO.
“Dan has a proven track record of success as a financial officer, and his leadership and experience make him a key addition to our business operations,” Hunt said in a release.
