Andy Reid
 

Speculation that he'll be out in Philly after this year.

Would you want him as the HC here in KC ... considering any other REALISTIC alternative options you expect are likely to exist (ie, don't consider Sean Payton, Jimmy Johnson, or any other unrealistic HC option).

**** no.

I think Andy Reid is a really good coach.

Seems to always get the most out of QBs.

No, because that mother****er would want to bring Vick with him.

Absolutely....and draft Geno Smith

Seconded.

No more re-tread hand me down coaches. Reid should take his $millions and retire.

I don't think he would. I think he'd use it as a chance to separate himself from Vick. I don't want him because he doesn't know how to run the ****ing ball at all. Dude has McCoy and gets him maybe 15 carries a game.

I don't hate the idea.

There are much worse choices.

This.

Think about what this guy has done.

The inaccurate McNabb, went to a SB. Resurrected Michael Vicks career before he turned back into a pumpkin (injury prone & turns the ball over). Had us thinking we missed on Nick Foles for a bit there.

maybe .. if he'd hire a QB in the first round ..

He would be on my short list because he knows how to draft and develop quarterbacks.

Color aside, Geno is a much better version of McNabb and AR got the most out of Donovan.

No. smh

Marty 2.0 (In terms of his inability to win the big one)

That would be the only positive that I could see.

I feel bad for him for his family issues but that's also why I don't want him. I think he needs take a break from football personally. At some point he is going be an emotional wreck because he uses football as a gateway from reallity of whats going on with his family.

Yes.

I'd take Mike McCoy over him.

He refuses to run the ball.

Yeah McCoy is #1 on my list. Reid would be 2 or 3.

Reid should get a look if available. However, my top HC candidates are as follows:

1. David Shaw (Stanford HC)
2. JAY Gruden
3. Rob Ryan
4. Perry Fewell (Only if he comes with Marc Ross, who I'd LOVE as GM)
5. Mike McCoy

David Shaw? Really?

Rob Ryan? Really?

This.

If he would commit to the run a bit more, i'd be fine with it... he'd bring this O out of the stone age.

Another negative working against Reid would be that his defensive philosophy doesn't really mesh with the qualities of our current players on defense very well.

If he would be OK with hiring a 3-4 zone blitzing DC, Id be fully on board.

**** this list with meccas old toilet brush...well, except for McCoy and MAYBE Jay Gruden...but Im not sure either of them is ready.

:Lin:

Why dont you like Andy Reid, Dane?

Too much Marv Levy and Marty. No thanks.

Yes. Shaw has NFL coaching experience and runs a pro-style offense at Stanford. He's worked under Jim Harbaugh, and has some Chiefs roots (loosely, albeit through his dad who coached in KC.)

And I think I remember you liking Rob Ryan at some point. I could be wrong, but Ryan would restore the aggressive, QB-killing defense we need.

Perry Fewell deserves a look.

I think its too early in the season to use McCoy 25-30 times a game. Not till November and December will I expect more production out of McCoy. Its just the right time of season to throw the long ball. That said I'd really like him as HC. Will it happen? not a chance.

No one asked you, freemartin.

Do you not watch Shaw's abominable coaching last week?

The Cowboys are in the bottom half of the league in scoring defense.

The #1 gripe Dallas fans have with Ryan is that he doesn't coach aggressive defenses. they are begging for him to call more blitzes...sound similar?

Wouldnt Reid also want some GM control?

LMAO

This^

Need a new GM, otherwise Pioli won't get anyone worthy of a head coach....

no thanks on him

I think he's decent but overrated. Not enough balance in his offense. Jim Johnson was the man behind those defenses he had. No thanks I'll pass.

I'd way rather have Kevin Gilbride than Perry Fewell and his 4-3 conversion. Until last week, the Giants were #1 in the league for yards per attempt.

Oh, and I second Rob Ryan, because I'd love to see our defense with that 1-gap 3-4. That said, I think he is the polar opposite of what Clark is looking for in a HC.

Oh yeah, he's done a fantastic job with Dallas' defense. :doh!:

I'm on board.

He fits of the trend of successful coaches who have never won a Super Bowl.

Those guys go to other teams and win Super Bowls.

Example:

Tom Coughlin
Dick Vermeil
Tony Dungy
Bill Belichick
Jon Gruden
Mike Shanahan
Don Shula

Andy Reid has one of the highest winning percentages in NFL history, with multiple quarterbacks, and his offenses have almost always been productive. And he's only 54.

I would like him to lose 50 lbs.

So did Romeo Crennel!

Eagles are 11th in rushing this year.

Another Reid myth.

Besides, a HC who believes in pass > run WOULD BE ****ING WELCOME.

Romeo Crennel was a successful HEAD COACH somewhere?

In what universe? Alternate reality NFL? X Dimension?

Those guys were all successful head coaches somewhere else before they went to their 2nd team and won big. I guess Shanahan wasn't. Whatever.

A coach who realizes the importance of never stopping looking for QBs would be too.

He had about the same amount of success as Belichick or Shanahan did. I don't buy any that "trend" BS.

Is he my first choice? No.

Would I be upset? Meh.

yeah, let's bring in a burn out...

OK, those were probably bad examples.

The rest ring true.

It's better than hiring Cowher, for sure.

I'd prefer to strike gold with a Sean Payton type, but Reid would be acceptable if he doesn't keel over from BBQ abuse.

Won't happen because the Eagles would be fools to let him go.

When Norv Turner is fired, who would like him as OC?

I would love to have Reid as an OC and QB coach. I'm not sure if he would be willing to do that.

However, a Mike Zimmer HC and an Andy Reid OC doesn't sound terrible to me.

Most would, IMO.

Michael Vick yo.

Take his 40 runs out of the equation and where do they rank?

The Eagles are 10th in rushing yards with 732.

Vick has 205 rushing yards.

Without Vick they would be 20th in the league in rushing yards.

McCoy is top 10 in yards. I agree he should have more, though.

Further, if you take away Vick's rushes they are 27th in the league in rushing attempts per game.

I want a real ****ing coaching search conducted. Said the same thing last year. Do a search and find the BEST candidate.

I'll take Reid but he probably won't take a QB early unless he is in love with them. He'll probably go d-line. He loves to move up and take linemen. Just make sure you are ready for that if we hire Reid.


But, the guy does know QBs.

Rushing attempts and rushing yards are irrelevant in 2012.

Get a QB.

And a fat bastard to lead the team.

Worked for GB.

Jamaal Charles would rape in a pass-first offense getting 60 catches and 200 rushes a year.

Wide open running lanes in 4 wide.

Agreed. It's a miracle that Charles gets what he does with the abysmal passing offense of this team. We need to open things up. Receivers flying all over the field, a QB with a smart enough mind and strong enough arm to fling it all over the place, and guys like Charles/DMC in the flat? Yes, please.

JFC rochambeau

Running QB dummy. It's not a myth.

He's lost his way in Philly because he has had to take more of the burden in Philly after Jim Johnson died. He doesn't have the energy to do it anymore. It cost him his family. You can see it in his press conferences. He's a dead man walking who was forced to fire his DC or face firing himself. He won't have the energy to start all over in KC.

Cowher would be my number 1 choice but I certainly would not mind Reid coming here

Rob Ryan is a ****ing loon to boot.

He would be on my list of candidates.

In comparison to the other head coaches this organization has hired over the past 7 years, Andy Reid is a ****ing genius.

At least he wins.

Thats the most important stat you gotta look at folks. The other 3 junks that have coached this team(Herm, Haley, Crennel) have a combined winning percentage of 41%.

*Lastly, this type of hire would address the issue that this franchise has faced over the 7 years which is inability to hire good head coaches.

Not having a good head coach has ****ed this team up over the years.

Id probably say that conservatively speaking 80% of the importance going forward with the Chiefs is finding and developing a franchise quarterback.

Not many guys better at that than Andy Reid that will be available.

You wouldn't have to worry about him ruining Jamaal Charles.

The only thing Charles is going to ruin is that below average Donkey D sport.

No.

Jamaal Charles has 4 more attempts than McCoy and the Eagles are 7th in rushing attempts in the NFL.

Michael Vick. Falcons were pretty much always number one when he was there.

If there is a fund being raised to ensure KC gets Stanford's coach I'll contribute whatever is necessary.

this he makes any turd QB look average to decent in his scheme and flips them for players and picks

ill take that combo over what this team has been doing the last 4 years anyday

Ok, I'm just throwing out some names of guys that have caught my interest...who would you advocate for?
