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

I guess the Chiefs have a lot more to offer than a lot of people thought.

Don't think he has brass cajones.

When he sees something he wants, he goes and gets it.

He's a rich guy with nearly unlimited resources and an incredible drive (obviously, now) to see the Chiefs win.

He got ahold of Reid like a bulldog and isn't letting go.

Reid isn't perfect but no coach is overall. Hopefully the change in scenery will have re-energized him. Then again growing up in a family full of coaches, I know that it doesn't take much for them to give 100% when they love the game.

I love that he already has a staff ready to go and it isn't all just the same guys from his Philly era. This is a new start for both Coach Reid and the Chiefs! Hope it comes true!

Had success as a coach? Check.
Developed young QB talent/teams? Check.
Is respected by other coaches and players? Check.
Won't take shit from Pioli? Check.

You'll forgive me for thinking that there should be a shred of professional integrity when one guides an organization that represents a city and large fan base.

Yes, his job was to win now. No question. But he also wasn't obligated to trash the future. A savvy HC and GM could have focused on the former without completely disregarding the latter.

Exactly. Lamar was about to die and they wanted to try to give him a championship before he was gone. Nothing wrong with that.

I think you meant, won't even be around Pioli.

you guys do realize that we were pretty ****ing unlucky in the 90s...right?

The Tony G catch with no instant replay...the kicker who shall go unnamed?

I always talk about bounces and how you need them to win Super Bowls or playoff games...

well a great example is the Patriots in 2007 and 2011. They should have won both of those games, but Eli made two ridiculous plays that are like 5% plays and Welker dropped a game sealing pass.

we can blame Carl and Marty and there is certainly merit ESPECIALLY for Carl and the 2000s but the 90s were a success we just were the unluckiest mother ****ers...in fact, Marty is just one unlucky ****er between kickers and fumbles.

Hootie · 01-03-2013, 03:42 PM

if Andy Reid can install a winning culture and get Arrowhead back, even at 80%, to what it once was...I'll be happy. More than happy. I was jealous of that Seattle/San Fran game. Those Seattle fans were NUTS. That used to be us.

That too.

I think Pioli is going to be around to do paperwork and make sure the beer contract is renewed, but probably won't have much to do with football.

When it happens once, it's bad luck.

When it's Earnest Byner AND the Drive AND a missed kick AND a phantom PI AND a guy fumbling a game-sealing interception AND another missed kick AND...

Well, I'm sure you get the picture.

Marty is NOT unlucky. He's one of the worst playoff coaches of all time.

Nope.

Heard from 2 different sources now that Pioli will definitely be fired.

And even the national media guys are saying it. Reid just needs to nail down his GM choice and get the transition done...

I really have no doubt that it can get back to waht it once was. Shit, look at all this fanbase has gone thru and still showed up?

If Reid is hired and brings a new GM, who then drafts a QB first overall, ST sales will skyrocket.

People will show up, KC absolutely loves the Chiefs, they just hate what they've become.

But thats all about to change.

one long shit show on 610

basically, 'it's risky'....same knee jerk reaction that comes up whenever QBs are discussed....

we're 2-14 and haven't won a playoff game since aids was scary, but Reid isn't good enough for us, neither is any QB in the draft...we're so special and precious...
