Update from @mortreport: Cards visit with Andy Reid is off, Chiefs have not scheduled other visits with candidates, hoping to wrap deal Fri.

The guess here is that Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg might not work together at Andy's next job. #eagles #chiefs #cardinals

Nevermind.

Edholm will be on 610 in 15 minutes.

Sure Pioli could come back next season but that is only if Clark couldn't reach a reasonable settlement. But if Pioli did return he would be nothing more than what he was in New England. He would be answering to the head coach in the long run. Only problem is with that, someone like Andy Reid would want his own guy in that position.

Nothing to do with Reid... but Gruden fans.

I'm still hearing he won't interview. RT @RapSheet: Jon Gruden still has no interviews scheduled with teams with vacancies. Lot of jockying.

He weighed in at 270 at the combine and did 30 reps of 225. He's a freak of nature.

I think he learned from the superstar free agency experiment, and will light it up with a brand new QB like Geno Smith, or Tyler Wilson. I could see this whole thing break tonight. I'm calling my shot. Andy Reid will be the next coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Wasn't everyone saying that the Eagles were going to take McCluster if the Chiefs hadn't taken hime first? Well - there you go. Just another selling point to Reid.

You're going to look like a reerun when he gets fired. But that's cool....because it won't be a change from how you're viewed now.

IIRC Houston's best single game of the season came against NO where he was abusing one of the better RT in the game.

If Reid wanted Kolb he probably wouldn't of traded him.

why go to Arizona?

Oh, Jesus ****. Watch Reid turn that little bastard into something...

Marty Mornhinweg was a candidate for Raiders' HC job. Could emerge as their offensive coordinator.

Could be with Reid or he may not?

Or just about everyone else that came from that abortion of a Chiefs board...

Report: Reid plans to tell Cardinals he’ll “fix” Kevin Kolb
Posted by Mike Florio on January 2, 2013, 8:08 AM EST


When Andy Reid interviews with the Cardinals (it may be Wednesday, it may be Thursday, and the bespectacled head of one of the reporters who has stomped his feet and insisted it’ll be Wednesday may explode if one more person says it’s happening Thursday), Reid will need a good way to get the attention of the Bidwills.

The best, and most obvious, strategy appears to be this: “You know how I screwed you in that trade for Kevin Kolb? I can now un-screw you.”

Ian Rapaport of NFL Network reports that Reid’s pitch to the Cardinals will include a vow to “fix” Kolb.

It’s ironic, to say the least. Two years ago, Reid’s Eagles conned the Cardinals into thinking Kolb was better than he really is. Now, Reid will try to reprise that routine not in order to finagle a player and a draft pick from Arizona but to land a job there.

The suggestion that Reid can make Kolb play better than he has in Arizona overlooks a few things. First, Kolb didn’t play all that well in Philly, once he finally got the chance to start. Second, Kolb is injury prone, and that’s something no quarterback guru can fix. Third, Reid’s reported plan is a direct slap at Ken Whisenhunt; if Kolb needs to be “fixed,” it means that Whisenhunt somehow “broke” him. Fourth, wouldn’t Reid’s better strategy be to claim he can get Mike Vick to come to town, since Vick is the guy Reid chose over Kolb?

Regardless, Reid apparently believes that all he needs to do is convince the Bidwills that Kolb is fixable. A little film review, a little jargon, and a few answers to whatever questions they muster after Andy mutters “time’s yours,” and that could be the key to talking them into hiring him.

Of course, the fact that Reid even needs to make that pitch tends to undercut the idea that the deal is already 95-percent certain.
