What happened: Kansas City extended condolences Thursday to the family of Frank Gansz Jr. His coaching career centered on special teams.
Why it matters: Gansz worked with the Chiefs from 2001 through 2005, his longest NFL stop. Special-teams units directly shape field position and scoring opportunities.
By the numbers: Across nine NFL seasons, teams with Gansz on staff went 78-66, a .542 winning percentage.
What to watch: Any memorial plans or preseason tribute from Kansas City will be the next development.
