ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Chiefs on verge of a deal with Andy Reid (merged)

I have no doubt we dont really know jack or shit about who knows what at 1 Arrowhead with Pioli running the place and looking for candy wrappers.

I do know that people who are insecure typically are afraid to let their subordinates know what they know in fear they will become better at their job than they are.

Should we be worried that Reid left our meeting and he isn't signed on with us?

I do as well - but really only because the alternatives are downright ****ed.

I will give Pioli credit for a few things:

Justin Houston
He has built a pretty good young offensive line without burning a first round pick
Poe looked better than I thought he would

But that is negated by the QB situation and coaching hire and Tyson Jackson

Just because we had the cap space, doesn't make it OK to throw out stupid contracts to a player that wanted to go play for his favorite team anyways.

Just because his role is reduced greatly, doesn't mean he isn't doing anything anymore. Most GM's don't have the kind of power he had, unless they also owned the team like Jerry Jones.

Clark Hunt will be more involved, as will the HC. It wont be Don Pioli anymore, just GM. It would be pretty similar to his role with Bill in NE when they won three Super Bowls together.

haha holy shit

Dollars to doughnuts he's not interviewing. He's doing nothing but answering questions. He has to be so humiliated. ROFL

This deserves to be repeated.

Hunt-Reid meeting adjourned after approximately 9-hours around 7 PM ET. Reid still scheduled to fly to AZ tomorrow. #Chiefs

If he gets on that plane, they lose him.

I'm not sure what else can be said that hasn't been said over 9 hours. Either he wants to be here and they offered him enough to make it happen, or he's gone.

Hunt needs to get that deal done before he heads to Arizona, IMO.

If former #Eagles HC Andy Reid takes KC job, expect him to call on old pal former #Browns' GM Tom Heckert as his GM. Pioli would be out.

Twitterverse is saying that Reid is still going to AZ.

But a 9 hour interview is very unusual. If its not a done deal I'd sure like to know why not.

Chill out. The Bidwells have proven over the years they run a franchise like ass.

Don't know how to say it any clearer. That's a cheapass owner.
