torturedraiderfan,

Did you seriously compare Andy Reid to Wade Phillips and Norv Turner?

It’s strange to me why a guy like Jeff Fisher who was largely mediocre in TN got so much heat a year ago with no backlash, but people are questioning Reid. He went to the playoffs 9 times in 14 years, went to the conference Championship game half of those playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl during one of those championship appearances. It’s not like he was coaching the 80′s 49ers or something that was so much superior to the rest of the conference.

For anyone attributing that all to Jim Johnson, who was definitely a great DC, is out of of their mind. By that logic, what happened to the Ravens last decade? he’s a great coach who just stayed in one place too long.

Cardinals will hire Todd Haley, not Horton.

Sounds to me like Reid and his agent are simply pinning the only two teams that are actually interested against each other so he can pull some extra leverage in power over personnel decisions. I would be shocked if he goes anywhere but AZ or KC. My money says AZ and this is him playing hard ball. I think he’s best off in the NFC. Then again AZ has a great coach they are potentially over looking in their defensive coordinator

And the NFL Hot Stove League officially begins.

If Andy goes to the Chiefs, he must see a great quarterback out there for the first pick in the draft.

I’m always wary of coaching retreads. For every John Fox and Mike Shanahan, there’s a Norv Turner, Chan Gailey or Wade Phillips. And Andy Reid won’t have Payton Manning or RGIII, Shanahan didn’t look so good with McNabb.

So in other words he’s using the Chiefs and Cardinals to outbid each other?

Andy will have one of the best RB’s in the game at his disposal in KC with Jamal charles. That being said KC will throw 50-60 time per game and run 12-15 times a game. This guy is a fraud. He is goingto fail big time unless he has great coordinators like he did in the beginning of his career in Philly.

“Before everyone starts dumping on the Chiefs/Cardinals for thier interest in Reid after the Eagles went 4-12 this year, remember that John Fox was scooped up by Denver immediately after a 2-14 season with the Panthers, and he’s cleaned up in Denver over the past two seasons.”

Reid hasn’t been too successful since 2004 (66-61-1) particularly in the postseason other than the blip in 2008. He is also 26-50 vs teams that made the playoffs. 10-9 in the playoffs and 1-4 in NFC title games, where he was favored in 3 of those games!

“Brady is near the end, the Steelers are about to continue sliding with their older defensive players, and the Texans are a joke as a serious contender as long as Schaub is the QB.”

Brady has said he wants to play until he’s 40….

Followed by many years of success and a Super Bowl win, followed by a Super Bowl loss to Peyton Manning who will go on to win back to back superbowls and retire.

In my crystal ball I see Andy Reid as coach, Holmgren as GM, Gruden as a coordinator, along with Marriucci, Favre coming in to take the starting job from the unretired, Majik man Don Majkowski, and a future first round pick that ends up being a bust (Tony Mandrich) instead of a top tier talent like Barry Sanders.

Andy Reid’s agent is doing a great job playing the fools that think getting a story on Twitter 5 seconds before everyone else is the most important thing in the world.

The best news out of this rumor for Chiefs fans is that Reid would only consider KC if he was assured Pioli would be gone. (Because as in-demand as Reid is, he’s not going to agree to be just another beta to Pioli’s overbearing alpha.) Pioli is a much bigger problem for the Chiefs than who their coach is.

If I’m a GM, Charlie Strong is the first guy I called this morning. The guy just seems to have everything you’d want in an NFL head coach. (With the exception that he’s never coached in the pro game..ha) I’d at least give him a look for my Rooney interview (if I weren’t interested in Horton or Lovie) and see where things go.

Plus, his wife isn’t too bad looking. mmm

metalhead65,

I think you’re exactly right. Phillip Rivers is in decline (even though Charger fans are in denial about this), and the Raiders gutted any progress they made when they fired Hue jackson and replaced him with a brain dead coach last off-season so they’re out for the forseeable future. Manning, even if he sticks around more than a couple of years, will start to show signs of slowing down at some point.

Not only will that division be easier to win in with two other lowly franchises taking up space at the bottom, the whole AFC is about to be in flux. Brady is near the end, the Steelers are about to continue sliding with their older defensive players, and the Texans are a joke as a serious contender as long as Schaub is the QB.

With a number one pick QB that he can mold from the start like he did with McNabb, the Cheifs can go from 0-60 in a second as long as he hires the right DC.

No Andy we have a white Cassel, not a White Castle.

By: geniusfan

John Fox has Peyton Manning Andy Reid will have Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn.

Huge Difference.

Oh come now I hate when coaches are handed a pretty decent team and they win and all of sudden they’re great ala the mention of John Fox in Denver and what Andy Reid did in Philly…please they both are you’re new versions of Marty Schotteheimer they’ll get you some wins but what do they show as far as the big prize??? Sad thing is these same old coaches keep surfacing and being recylcled over and over even those who’ve failed miserably see Norv Turner…I will say this KC has the talent now if they can just decide on a QB one not already there they’d be a much better team…same goes for AZ.

Who Cares? Andy Reid has never won a Super Bowl and he NEVER will.

Hiring Reid as COACH would be a good move, but giving him complete control over personnel would be a huge mistake. He has proven over the past five years that his judgement is flawed, he’s not the talent evaluator hes made out to be. Just take a look at his past few drafts. They’ve been absolutely terrible, with the exception of 2012- which has been attributed to GM Bowie Roseman gaining final say. Although that news came from the Birds owner right after Reid was fired. But the bottom line is it was Reids decision to draft Brandon Graham instead of Earl Thomas or JPP, then Nate Allen after. Daniel Teo-Neisham Neisham, Danny Watkins, Jaiqwan Jarrett, Curtis Marsh… the missed picks go on and on. Reid can whip up a good gameplan but he’s proven to be an average, at best, personnel man. But I’d much rather see Reid in the AFC West in KC then have him in the NFC.

This is why I hate the Rooney Rule… if the Chiefs only want Reid, they don’t have interest in a minority candidate… so why trot one out? Why don’t they just say Andy Reid is Slovakian or something to satisfy the “requirement”. The Rooney Rule has to be the worst single rule in sports history; like, think about, I don’t know, getting married. If I want a marble cake, and I know I want a marble cake, why on Earth would I have to try anything else when I know what I want? Now I want cake!

Oh, and to continue the theme of most of these comments, Andy Reid and Scott Piolo are bad at their respective jobs #AdHom

Still say this is fat andy’s agent floating rumors. if KC can observe fat andy’s last 3 years of stupidity and still want to hire him…..more power to them.

wherever he goes, he will be fired in 3 years or less.

Reid will be a Cardinal. This is called leverage. Anyways, don’t they have to interview some minority coaches before they can hire Reid?

Andy would also do better over in KC.

they are losing Bowe and wont have any WRs.. Andy will love that.

They already have drafted size on the DL so Reid can go ahead and draft undersized DE’s and LBs.. Andy will love that.

they have a fan base that has been de-sensitized to losing so Andy can be a .550 head coach and look like another godsend.

and their division is trash,, so Andy can have a bolstered record playing all the talentless teams in the division like he did here for 10 years.

KC has everything Reid could ask for.

Pioli will look good again as a GM as he wouldn’t have to make any decision….Andy Reid would. As in New England he didn’t make decision but with a winning record looked good as GM. He may have skills to look at talent but a bust on making the tough decisions. Andy will have Cassel at QB and maybe get him to be a winner again. KC has somewhat of a good defense but no offense…Andy will change that.
