This feels like the first time I tasted 80 Acre Hoppy Wheat.

Which once you get over the initial disbelief and anger of him not being fired on the spot is actually better than the immediate firing. In a vindictive scorned lover sort of way.

I LOVE that stuff.

Totally under the radar great beer right there.

Looking forward to the Chiefs becoming relevant again.

Yeah, I definitely wasn't aware he was still that young; I figured he had to be at least 26 by now.

I could give up a 3rd for him, although I think the second pick of the 2nd round is a bit too steep..

Someone said there could be something announced as early as tonight. Who knows though. I'd imagine within the next 24 hours we'll know one way or the other.

Sounds kinda cool to me.

Buncha bros hard on their luck.. one of them suggests they get the band back together.. bros come back together kinda pissed off but feeling all rejuvenated and shit.. bros make a sort of angry but completely inspired album that kicks ass

A Coaching staff works when there is Chemistry.

If Reid gets to hire the people he wants and knows he can work well with, then I think it is a very good thing.

We've seen what happens whn the Chemistry gets broken up and sent off in opposite directions with the Belechick tree.

I wouldn't be as sour on the move if Reid had some time to breathe. Change of scenery is great and all, but he has had virtually no time to reflect on what went wrong in Philly, or just get mentally well from all his personal BS going on. I don't think that take on Coughlin and his coaching staff is accurate. There was turnover before they won anything - in fact, it was Eagles DC Steve Spagnoulo that got them over the top.

Phil Jackson has 11 rings. Reid has zero. I wouldn't even let someone get away with comparing Hoodie to PJ. A better comparison for Reid is Mike D'Antoni.

How else are ass't coaches going to be available if they haven't been let go from somewhere else? I guess you could pull everyone from the college ranks... :shrug:

Can i get it in Tulsa?

Hell yes it is. Perfect combo of my two favorite styles of beer.

I read but dont post. I like reading everyone's opinions/thoughts. With that said, I do think every Chief's fan should state whether they like Reid or not, to (hopefully) not have anyone 18 months from now flip flop- depending on how he is doing.

I am in favor of Andy Reid. He is a great football guy. Ignoring his first year in Philly, he then was double digit wins for 8 out of 11 seasons. All total, he was below .500 3 times. His first year, his last year and one year in the middle when Mike McMahon started 7 games at QB. So put me down in favor.

BUT..we all need to understand what we're getting. He is very very protective of his players. And after a loss when a QB throws a pick to end it or a WR runs a wrong route..you're not getting explanations. His answer will be..."It starts with me, I'm the head coach and I gotta do a better job." We cant get frustrated when we hear that type of answer.

But I don't wanna wait that long! [/whine]

Just go friend Reaper on Facebook already.

i would love that type of answer.


its time for SOMEONE to take some ****ing responsibility around here

Can somebody tell me where we are?

I'm lazy.

If they report that he winds up visiting Arizona and/or SD, I wouldn't really consider that a good sign. I hope that doesn't happen. Get a signature now Clark!

He's already cancelled all future visits.

Agreed. We aren't paying a 3rd stringer $ 7 million.

So what? I'd rather hear that than have a coach throw his player under the bus for making a bad play. Good coaches deal with their players in private, they don't call them out in public.

Oh. Last I saw he was "in the process of cancelling visits", whatever the hell that means. But if true - awesome. Who knows what's right or wrong info now days. Just yesterday morning he was almost certainly going to Arizona.

I also remember when Herm was canned, it was looking like Shanahan might sign here lol

:facepalm:

Andy Reid hasn't officially taken the job yet, but has already used all of the Chiefs timeouts during his negotiation.

As all good coaches should be. If he's not, I'd have a serious ****ing problem with that.

I have reservations due to the defense falling off since JJ's departure and he passes too much for my liking but that said I think the most encouraging thing about this if it happens is how serious Clark is about winning. He's catching a lot of heat which comes w/ the territory of sucking hind teet but both of these moves are high profile for guys that were and/or would have been coveted/sought after by other organizations.

I have come around on it the last day or so. There's no doubt the guy's a good coach. It's a good move if it happens. The onus on the Chiefs coinciding w/ that as you said will be to align him w/ the right front office and staff but that could be said about anyone.

Geez. At least give me George Karl.

Me too. But sometimes fans get frustrated when they know the head coach is just protecting some 5 million dollar a year athlete. And this is exactly what you get from Andy. But it is also a big reason why guys love playing for him.

Like I said..I am all for the hire!

Andy Reid has cancelled visits to Arizona and San Diego. It is being speculated that an announcement will come saying Reid is the new coach of the Chiefs within 24 hours.

BONUS - Apparently he is wanting to bring Tom Heckert with him to be GM. Scott Pioli weeps into Cassel's lap.

I'm cool with that.

"You won't get unemployment. You will quit. I will MAKE SURE you quit..."

How do you begin the process of canceling talks? Lol.

"Hey, uh...we're not coming. Thanks, bye".

...should be all there is to it.

It was mentioned on Mike & Mike that if it wasn't done today, it may be Monday so that it does not interfere with the coverage of the NFL Playoffs.

The new security password at Arrowhead is "Diabetes"....

Why on Gods Green Earth is ANYONE talking about cassel, he's sooo gone.

We have sooo much other cool stuff to discuss right now, just hearing his name makes my head hurt.

GONE
BYE
CYA
ADIOS
SAYONARA
ADIEU
GET ****ED

Hopefully he'll treat Cassel like a son. That way he'll probably end up dead of a heroin overdose before the season starts.

excellent point.

Oh that is DELICIOUS.

So what's our take on Clark Hunt, now, when it comes to football decisions?

Landed the biggest GM fish in several years' worth of ponds in 2009, and landed the biggest HC fish in several years' worth of ponds in 2013.

They will keep Cassel.


Just watch.

I have warmed to the idea. But I also have a natrual tendency to be vindictive my own self.

Wow. Is ESPN really that clueless? They are talking like we're gonna keep Cassel and Reid is gonna make him better. Broadcast Journalism has really hit a low.

over 100,000 views of this thread....


and still waiting for some twitter hump to confirm

Clark is a ****ing badass in my book.

Clark Hunt always gets his man.

Money, power and attitude go a long way.

or just say well bye.

"Re-Tread the Movie: Part II" Coming Fall 2013!

This is a reasonable take. There is something to be said for chemistry of an entire staff and perhaps the short comings of guys in other positions elsewhere aren't as applicable in lesser roles for KC. That said, once guys go off on their own I think the feeling is lost a little.

Just like Vermiel kept Grbac. And Grbac was a lot better than Cassel

Average lifespan of all cows in KC are about to decrease by .8 yrs


http://www.the700level.com/images/974983_278x118.jpg

Let's not go full reerun, now. He missed pretty hard on Mr. Manning last year.

Please. Romeo is leaving town. If anything their lifespan will go up.

You don't beleive that. You just think you do.

i dare say we are going to lose even more than just Matt Cassel

i feel a great roster purge coming and wouldnt be surprised if we lose some fan favorites in the process. That's just the way it goes in a clear rebuild/turnover

ok but lets all agree that if:

Reid is hired.
Pioli is shelved.

Cassel/Quinn gone.

and in three years we're STILL terrible...we at least can't blame Clark.

This marks two straight times where Clark has made the BIG hire. Pioli was a BIG hire, even the guys who didn't like him can agree with that.

Clark must be pretty good at convincing people to come to KC...he must be doing SOMETHING right in these interviews.

Not trying to bring any negativity because I'm very excited about Reid and all of his crew coming to KC. Hopefully Geno really emerges as the #1 QB and we don't fool around and take him. Wouldn't mind signing a veteran to compete with Geno in camp, either. I know Hasselbeck said he'd like to be Locker's backup for another year but I think he'd be a great fit as the #1 guy for someone like Geno...and if Geno impresses early on he could even be the day 1 starter.

Romeo was just big boned :D

Is Matt Cassel the worst person in history? Yes.

Do they seriously think we're gonna keep Cassel? Wow. Just...wow. ESPN needs a house cleaning as well.

If Cassel is still on this team in any capacity...lets put it this way

I'll be more pissed about that than Pioli sticking around with Reid and being the lameduck GM

Dex is outta here.

Reid isn't putting up with a guy who averages 8 yards a catch and 1 turnover every 8 touches.

Don't talk about your new coach like that dude.

TJ will most certainly be restructured or cut.

ESPN is getting depantsed because they don't truly follow the Chiefs, and this type of hire forces commentary.

He let Brown run despite the fact that he clearly was begging to be stripped. :shrug:

Not like he had much choice.

i wouldnt be surprised if he just keeps Jamal Charles and the o-line

and that's it lol

LMAO


Reid's a QB guru. Hopefully he doesn't go full reerun and think he can fix Matt Cassel.

:spock: ROFL

He has no ties to Cassel.
Cassel isn't a young QB.
Cassel makes WAY to much money.

That is on Scott, not Clark. Clark probably regrets not being more involved with that.

Dex is exactly what Reid will want to use in his offense.

I hope you are right.

:spock:

Clark always gets his man, unless he doesn't get his man and then it's someone elses fault.

Duh.

I wonder who Philly is going to get?
Wouldn't it be funny if it was Haley or Crennel?

I personally don't like the hire and he would have been one of the last coaches I would have considered.

With that being said I will support him until he gives me a reason not to. I will be most interested in who he brings on to coach the defense.

it's hilarious we have the #1 pick, and probably reid...

national news has no clue how - or any desire - to cover the Chiefs

i'd guess espn still centers its draft coverage around the Jets and Cowboys

"...because I'm a scorpion, bitch."

could go


new DE/Poe - new NT/Poe - new DE
Houston - DJ - New Guy - Hali
Flowers - Berry - New FS - New CB

or

Houston - New DT - Poe - Hali
New LB - New LB - DJ
Flowers - Berry - New FS - New CB


lol what a purge that would be

Have you been under a rock?

My kind of humor. ROFL

Clark is an owner anyone would want to work for. He will pay you what you want, and he will hand you the keys and let you go to work. The problem is that if Hunt gets the hire wrong, it can set the franchise back years. So as we have learned from Dan Snyder, it's not necessarily about hiring the biggest fish, it is about finding the best fit. So let's hope he got it right this time.

The good thing about Clark is that unlike his dad, if things obviously aren't going well, he is going to pull the trigger and move on. You cannot question his commitment to wanting to win. You can only question his ability to identify the right guys who are going to get us there. Pioli didn't work. Let's hope Reid does...
