Thum appointed Chiefs’ president
Quote:
Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star reports 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.
“It’s quite a story, and I think it’s 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, I’ve been given opportunities to go ahead and use my talents. They’ve been satisfied with what I’ve done, and I’ve been afforded the opportunities to continue to grow with this organization.
“I just know from my years of working here the number of resumes that I get every single week and still continue to get from people who would love the opportunity to work here. To have the opportunity to work in this profession for one team for as long as I have, no one could ever get that. That’s as great as it could be.”
Thum will be responsible for all business aspects of the organization and everything outside of football operations, the domain of general manager Scott Pioli.
Thum’s responsibilities will include but not be limited to tickets, marketing and sales and Arrowhead Stadium construction and operation.
