What are you hearing from your guy?

I think he meant Tyler

He's not a source. He claims to have a source of his own. I take it all with a grain of salt. I have expanded my Chiefs related networking on Facebook though. So I hear some things every once in a while that has proven credible.

I believe he's referring to Tyler Wilson.

15 minutes is not enough for a true liquid doo-doo evacuation.

I think you missed the joke.

OK, Donger.

Reid + Geno + Good DC + Keeping Bowe

who

huh

Do what?

Who? You think we have a chance at chip Kelly you are dreaming.

Everyone agreed that we had the best job in football back in the day and we hired Herm.

Have you heard anything from your source?

Reid is only 54... he has another few good years in him. We think of him as being older because he has been a head coach for so long.

Herm knew how to win...








































































... a sucking contest.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

I haven't heard anything today. I haven't sent an emails yet to him.

I got a lot of info over the weekend, and every few hours stories seemed to change.

I'll shoot him an email tomorrow to find out, but it doesn't take a real rocket scientist to figure out they are pretty much all in on Reid.

Does anyone have any updates over the past couple of hours? Is the meeting over yet...? JFC.

Gross.

I figured from everything they were, but I figured they had some kind of backup plan incase it goes south.

LMAO.

Grandpa fist ****ed the franchise sufficiently before leaving town; it wasn't that great of job.

I heard Clark and Reid were canoodling outside a Jamba Juice as recently as 7:30 EST ;)

I think if Reid gets on that plane for AZ tomorrow morning, you can kiss our chances of landing him goodbye. Don't waste your time with the email tomorrow...

To save me from having to read 1800+ posts... Has somebody stated Pioli was even in the same room during the interviewing process? The HC is to report DIRECTLY to Clark, the hire is none of Pioli's business. Bring in Reid, ask what he desires as responsibilities and what he'd like to work with as a GM, not the other way around.

Bottom line is a name like Reid is far more likely to put asses in the seats. That is Clark's immediate priority.

Maybe Clark just needed a hype man.

I have not heard any official word Pioli was involved, only speculation on the forums. . . I say no

only read half of your post but decided to quote it anyway.

Get the fan base excited by going all in for Reid and when he's flying to AZ, after season tickets are being renewed, hire Kirk Ferentz.

I dont know guys...the "9 hour interview" smells like an overstatement that can be used in the future as a "well, we tried. Shit, we spent 9 hours with Andy Reid." when Clark ultimately choses a coach from the tree and allows Pioli to stay.

I hope Im just paranoid, but I just really want this team TO FINALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY TO STEP THEIR GAME UP....and not fall back AGAIN with another Herm, Romeo, wasted draft pick and endless hopelessness that would ensue.

Clark, I REALLY want to buy my family season tickets, all you have to do is close the deal with Reid and draft Geno McNabb.

I REALLY dont want to box up my Chiefs stuff, but I will.

With his system, I can really see Matt Barkley being a big target for us.

In before all the Geno lovers flame away.

I'd be fine with the Reid hire if I knew the following. Who does he want at QB, because he's shown questionable taste and his success is built on QBs with mobility, which isn't the QB model I want to be following. And the defense that was in the top 10 seven of 9 years under Jim Johnson has ranked 19, 21, 10, and 29 since Johnson left. What is his defensive identity? And how much say does he have in personnel, because he's not exactly the best judge of talent.

Those are really important questions. It's a good move if it's Reid + Rivera + Heckert. Run for the hills if it's Reid + Bowles or any other project + Reid calling most of the personnel shots.

Don't let this, or anything else stop you.

Well if that happens. Nice knowing ya cuz im picking a new team. Enoughs enough

I would hope is defensive identity is to hire a good DC and let him do his work.

I don't think head coaches are like free agents.

Players chase money, coaches chase the right fit.

I could care less if he gets on that plane.

Why? He would be doing a disservice to himself to not hear everyone out

Yeah, because Barkley is exactly like McNabb and Vick.

What would Reid and his agent's motivation to waste 9 hours on a sham interview?

Yes it was reported that Pioli along with several others were in the room during the interview between Clark and Reid that was around 9 hours.

Clark needed to have Pioli with him if was to be telling the truth. He said he would let the new coach chose the fate of Pioli and how would he be able to do that if he wasnt able to make an educated decision about him from being able to ask him all the questions he would think are pertinent?

I wonder why the interview was in Philly and not KC?

He's hired 3 defensive coordinators in 4 years. All 3 of them were disasters. It's a legit question about how much of Reid's success is from the unbelievably innovative defense of Jim Johnson, just as it's fair to ask how much of Gruden's success was due to the at the time very innovative Tampa 2 of Monte Kiffin.

Reid's recent defensive track record really scares me. As does his QB selection. If we make the hire, the job isn't done. He's got to make two big moves on hiring his DC and picking the right QB for me to be on board.

Drive the price tag up for other suitors.

Kinda like Peyton Mamning did?

Wasn't Todd Bowles well thought of at one time?

I don't think 9 hours would be necessary to do that.

If we bring in Reid I hope we get a quality GM who is better at evaluating college talent and calls the shots. Reports are that Reid's selections weren't very good.

That hire would scare the crap out of me.

If he comes to KC, most of his history is with a 2-gap 3-4. I would not be happy if we make an Andy Reid hire, and end up sticking with our obsolete defense. Which is a definite possibility.

Reid got on that plane this afternoon heading for AZ after the meeting with us.

Dude why are you acting like such an ass.

I'll just copy frank here.

Players look for money, coaches look for fit.
And who gives a **** about Manning?

This is actually a very good point and should not get lost.

Clark knows what the **** he's doing. And he gets to keep Pioli on a leash while doing it, which has to be ****ing satisfying.

"OK, I want you to talk to this schmuck, and tell me if you can work with him."

"No."

*evil Hunt grin*

Also take this into consideration...

Andy Reid will likely be choosing Kolb+whoever is left at 7th overall over Geno Smith.

The guy KNOWS its all about the quarterback.

I think Chip Kelly would be an idiot not to sit down with us in Kansas City, this team is such a good fit for the way he's going to want to run things, assuming we shitcan our puppet Pioli sometime soon and get his mere presence out the door.

I'm also hanging on to hope of the Ferentz rumors somehow gaining some weight, I'd love him to come here more than anyone else, but he's honestly going to be the hardest College coach to snag, period. He's got way too much security and reason to stay at Iowa, and it isn't because he couldn't be a big time coach in the NFL.

I did chuckle a little bit when Saban rumors ran for about 3 hours and then got shot down :P
Hell yeahhhhhh

We certainly have a pretty comfy job, but we lack the prestige many other teams carry with them, which is probably why we landed Herm and keep failing at landing guys like Cowher, Billick, and Ferentz anytime their names get tossed into the ring of coaches who might come to the NFL and our vacancies are always near the top of the list, yet nothing happens.

And yes, I do think we'll have a shot at Chip Kelly, may not be the greatest shot, but I think the chance is there.

Or at ten O'clock this morning.

You can't put too much stock in some of these reports.

Peyton Manning left Denver and interviewed with other teams before coming back and deciding on Denver. I don't know why people bring him up. It's really not that absurd for guys to make a few rounds and listen to a few different offers. I would be more surprised if that didn't happen.

uh oh, someone pining for Ferentz....

If you want Kirk Ferentz here, and his ****ing stone age offense, I can't take any football opinion you have seriously.

I have seen absolutely nothing from Geno Smith this season that screams "Franchise QB".

IMO, from what I've seen, he's just a guy.

That's my cue.

It's about to get ugly!

Forgive him...he's just relaying what every ****tard in the national media keeps trying to pass off as speculation....

we were talking about def. coordinators: Gregg Williams was fired from STL today :)

It is going be harder and harder each year to find a "protypical" QB you are looking for. College coaches have found success using the spread option and with mobil QBs to run it. The future of the NFL is shifting to what college is producing for them to take. The NFL has to adjust like it is trying to do. Get ahead of the curb if you can while you can. I think we are looking at a new era ahead of us for the future of QB play in the NFL and it starts with what college teams are doing. Spread option QBs are going be a novilty item imo.

If by stone age offense, you mean, the same offense half of the teams in the NFL run, then hell yeah.

And yes, I'll forever pine for Ferentz. I think his skills as a talent evaluator and motivator are lost on the fact that he runs a program in the Big 10 that gets next to nothing for recruits, yet constantly churns out players that get drafted to the heights of some of the best teams in the nation (read SEC and Texas)

I don't give a ****.

The guy isn't Newton or RGIII and he's definitely not Luck. He's not even Andy Dalton.

I've said the same thing, but many here seem to believe he IS RG3.

Relax. Reid is incredibly interested in this job. How do I know? He spent 9 ****ing hours talking about it. There is a lot of mutual interest. Reid is doing his due dilligence. I'd bet money he will be the next Head Coach of The Kansas City Chiefs.

Prepare for the lynch mob to come out in full force.

No matter how shitty he played at times, there's always an excuse for it.

**** Ferentz and **** you for even being on board.

Reid + Tyler Wilson = Win.

How can you make that assumption about what QB Reid would favor, or that he understands the importance of the QB?

It was really just 3 hours and a 6 hour lunch break.

Geno played a few terrible games. I wish he would have played much better in the bowl game. I still love his upside, but it will be interesting to see how things shake out during the combine.

If Reid is the coach, I wouldn't be shocked to see Barkley be the guy though.

Still like Tyler Wilson's upside too.

If Andy Reid is the coach, I'll trust whatever QB evaluations he has.

Im sorry but **** whoever wants Ferentz....19-19 last 3 years in a weak Big Ten

ROFL

They were not. Jim Johnson's passing had a lot to do with the fall of Andy Reid's regime, but a huge part of it was poor drafting. Especially defense.

Taking Brandon Graham over JPP and Earl Thomas was the one that irked people most. It was not hindsight either. Everyone on Eagles forums wanted one of those two or Pouncey. When Graham was selected at the time everyone was so pissed. Turned out the fans were right.

The Eagles took two 2nd round safeties in 2010 and 2011. One was already cut(Jaiquawn Jarrett) and one is probably going to be cut(Nate Allen). Then you go back and look at awful defensive selections like Victor Abiamiri, Jerome McDougle, Matt McCoy, etc. They've had some poor offensive picks too, but they have gotten a lot better. DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy were all nice picks.

It looks like after a huge drought of defensive picks the Eagles finally rebounded with Fletcher Cox and Mychal Kendricks.

But the Eagles were not the greatest drafting team under Reid. Especially defense. So many wasted picks, it killed the team.

You don't think Andy Reid understands the importance of the QB?

I'm skeptical of all the available QBs coming out, but at the same time I know we need to roll the dice on one in our first few picks.

NOBODY here thinks he's RG3. NOBODY.

I agree with this.
