I think that the Eagles will hire that guy from Oregon.

I hope the Chiefs hire this glorified QB coach.

If he signs with KC, Philly fans boo. If he doesn’t sign, they still boo!

@tardyyy Cards are loaded…Calais Campbell, Patrick Peterson, Daryl Washington, Kerry Rhodes, Sam Acho, Greg Toler, Darnell Dockett, Michael Floyd, Rob Housler, Andre Roberts, Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson, etc, etc.

The probowl is a popularity contest, not an exact science on who is actually the best player at a particular position. If it was…surely KC would have won more than 2 games.

“the Chargers will look foolish for not exploring the possibility of hiring him.”

No they won’t. Even at his best Reid’s teams were poorly conditioned and his horrible clock management often cost them games. He had some good years in Philly but he is certainly not the be all end all in NFL coaches.

There’s zero embarrassment if they don’t want to hire him.

For those who actually watch Chiefs games know Eric Berry is very overrated! People just know he was drafted high in the first round & was a stud in college.

That headline is the worst news Jamaal Charles ever read in his life. All you with Charles in a keeper league better trade him to someone else ASAP….

________________________________

Apparently you were not watching when Reid had the likes of Duce Staley, Brian Westbrook, and Lesean McCoy…If memory serves me correctly, those backs were top 5 fantasy backs at their peak…J. Charles would surely follow suit…

Does anyone really care where these coaches go except for the city they end up in.

Reid in print is now almost as bad as Favre.

No more reading if Reid stories for me.

If I were him, I’d aim for the Kansas City job. They have a lot of talent with Jamaal Charles, Tamba Hali, Eric Berry, Dwayne Bowe (who’ll probably leave as an FA though), the O-Line (Winston, Albert, Allen, etc.), Derrick Johnson, Justin Houston, Brandon Flowers and a few others. They had five Pro Bowlers on a 2-14 team if that says anything.

The Cardinals have Larry Fitzgerald and Adrian Wilson. That’s about it.

If both teams offered him a gig, he should definitely go with Kansas City. No doubt.

I’m not convinced that this is going to be a good hire for anyone. I’m with the camp that thinks Reid should take a year off, but I understand he has to do what he has to do.

With everyone chasing Reid and the Bears quietly talking to Arians I have a feeling it’s the Bears that are going to come out looking good. They are the best team with an opening and Arians is the most proven candidate right now…

He’d be a whole lot better off if he went to arizona cause the turnaround in kc is gonna take longer,maybe 5 years! he’ll have to gut the offense and start brand new!

“BBQ joints in KC rejoice! Your sales are about to go up!”

Actually, Reid will fill in the void created by Crennel’s departure. Therefore, they will probably break even.

Unless Crennel stays on as DC!

Hopefully it will happen quickly– before the Chargers can interview him.

If a team wins 2 games, without major injuries, & is the worst team in the NFL, it says something about that team. They stink! They obviously don’t have a lot of talent obviously either. 5 Pro bowlers? No wonder the Pro Bowl is a joke!

While ‘past performance does not guarantee future results’, with Andy I think what you have seen is what you will get. I appreciate that Andy made Philly relevant, but poor personnel decisions (both players and staff), poor game-time management, poor play calling and not designing your system to match your players are all traits of a coach who will NEVER win the Super Bowl. And let’s not forget that most of Andy’s success in Philly was with Ray Rhodes’ defensive players, he padded his winning percentage by playing awful NFC East teams twice a year, and he almost never beat an AFC team. Advice to KC: Let him make you relevant but don’t keep past his use-by date!

I used to live in Denver and Adam Schefter was a turd back then too. These sports “reporters” that ESPN/TMZ use should have every advantage in the industry but they’re terrible at their jobs. These guys say anything to get us to watch and they don’t care if it’s true. I quit watching everything on that channel 6 yrs ago and through the use of the internet I’m more educated than ever on the sports I love.

I’ve never seen so much hype to hire someone who was just fired from their last job. Wow.

Excellent place for someone in the twilight of their career and looking for a temporary landing spot…KC only keeps coaches for two or three years especially if they don’t make the playoffs. By this time next year they will already be looking to dump Reid in favor of the new flavor of the week. KC is a great place, has an incredible organization but is extremely fickle and is fan driven. Don’t get too comfortable Andy, you might want to look into getting a personal media coach too!

Andy Reid made Michael Vick almost look like an NFL 3rd String QB, which is amazing.

That guy should be inducted into the Hall of Fame for coaching that terrible QB to mediocrity.

Oh and he did make Donovan McNabb into a HOFer

Less risk in KC. Low expectations. Maybe more power. Great owner.

so overrated just look at his win loss record vs winning teams. try under .400. what’s even better he is record vs AFC play off’s team, try 2-14 from 1999-2010. That’s pretty much all you need to know about the eagles run over the past 14 years. They beat a bunch of bad teams in what was once the weaker conference and even a weaker division during that time period. I haven’t ever seen such an overrated coach, team and frachise in my life. such a joke when you look inside the numbers. They were the favorite to win 4 out of 5 championship games, played 3 of those games at home and only won ONE!! can’t wait for him to fall on his face…

Reid is a fool if he takes that job. He should take Arizona’s job because more of the pieces are already in place.

KC fans you will be very happy with Andy Reid. Andy gave us many incredible seasons here in Philly. The downfall of Andy in Philly began with the death of Jim Johnson, one of the best defensive coordinators in football. We never recovered, as we went through several. Losing 4 starting offensive linemen due to injury killed his team this year. How many teams can come back from that? Andy is a winner, he put the Eagles in position to win several SB’s, Andy wasn’t the one throwing up, and throwing interceptions. Andy wasn’t the one that choked in the clutch, nope that was #5. Count me as an Andy fan for Life. Go Big Red!

Having the #1 overall pick certainly doesn’t hurt.
