Sorry. I'm not in a position to question Schefter and his sources.

I'm hearing from sources Andy Reid going to Ariz Cards could have hangup if he insists former #eagles and #browns GM Tom Heckert comes w him

Hmm did I call it or did I call it?

Don't then. Stock up for them and then look stupid sometimes.

They are all wrong quite a bit. Every reporter. Wrong. Sometimes.

They all want to be first so they throw it out as soon as they hear something, they don't always research it

So you'll just believe everything you read?

see this is where the interview process comes in.

They will discuss things like this.

That's why Schefter was premature in saying it was 95 percent prior to an interview happening

Seems like that us the prevailing thought process around here lately

Yes, because Schefter = everything...

Adam Schefter is right about 95% of the time. He's the best in the business.

Reid is from Los Angeles and went to school at BYU. Coached at Northern Arizona and in El Paso. Geographically and his background fits perfectly with Arizona. I would venture the hold up would be who he brings along for GM. Arizona has a pretty good choice in-house I believe.

their in house is interviewing other places.


I'm not in any way saying is not going to happen. Hell I don't want Reid here, so it's not even wishful thinking.

I just don't buy all the shit that gets flung around these days.

Twitter has ruined credible reporting imo

#1 Schefter is reporting that a league source says he's 95% sure.
#2 What if Reid is doing this to blow smoke and get the price up from another organization by leaking info like this. Coaches and Players do it all the time and the fact that the Cardinals have not even interviewed him or shown him the facilities or anything I think it's a hooplah right now.

Not to mention whats great about Arizona? Honestly? They had a worse pass attack than we did, Kolb is obviously dried up, they have a newer stadium but their fanbase is nowhere near as dedicated as ours. They've only sniffed postseason success once when they went to the Superbowl. I just don't understand why he believes thats the best situation to continue his career. Not to mention in the same division as Harbaugh and Carroll with a two years behind each in building? I'd think you'd come here where you only have to deal with the Broncos and that's until Peyton hangs it up which should be in the next year or two.

hahah here it comes

once coaches with somewhat of a name start coming off the board to what Chiefs homers consider shittier teams (they are right), its going to fly WHY DID ____ CHOOSE ____ OVER US?

here's why. Scott Pioli.

so while Reid goes to Arizona and Chip Kelly goes to ____ and Bill Cowher and Billick stay in the studio and Gruden goes to ____

you will at the end of the day, wonder why. Just like you wonder why Peyton Manning chose Denver. Same constant

You are slow. That has been covered. What part of Clark saying he's selecting the HC do you not get? Why would he blatantly lie on the radio and TV?

what the hell does this have to do with anything you weirdo. I am literally responding to the post above saying the "Cardinals are garbage, what do they have, why would Reid go there" with the right response to those questions.

Reid wont consider us as long as Pioli has an office space

Polio will still be here, probably.

You didn't listen to a single word Clark said.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

One source close to Andy Reid insisted deal w/ Cards not close. Another source said Cards search open and no leading candidate at this time

If Reid is hired there, AZ should go hard after Mike Wallace to play opposite Fitz. Probably can't afford him though. Plus a QB is a bit more important.

:clap: Money maneuver by Reid

LOL So now he's reeling?

Its not over til its over. Just like 3 years ago when ESPN said Cliff Lee to the Yankees was a done deal..then an hour later it was dead

So the mighty Schefter doesn't really know?

:)Sounds 50/50 to me not 95%:harumph::hmmm:

Jason Cole thinks Reid lands in KC.

Link?

There sure are a lot of baseless assumptions on this site lately. Personally I'll wait to see what actually happens.

That's ok if true. We'll take his twin brother Holmgren.

NO!

The impatience is astounding here. It has been one day. Has any other team hired a HC yet?

This reminds of Shanahan to KC DONE DEAL!!!! Chris Mortensen reported as such, and then the rat said, "What the **** are you talking about?" I hope Reid comes to KC. Death to Pioli!!!!

:clap:

Its funny because LaConfora mentions KC as a sleeping giant for HC, then mentions reid twice, now Jason Cole thinks KC, John Clayton said KC...until Reid is in Arizona ill say Reid will go to KC. But if Clark cant land a good coach he's BSing

Yep.

If Clark wants Reid, Pioli is out. I don't see how Reid could possibly work with Pioli.

PFT suggested his agent might be blowing smoke about Arizona. Just as long as he doesn't come here I don't care where he goes. He should take a year off or more to get his life straightened out.

If the hold up of Reid to AZ is because they don't want to bring his GM in then what makes you think he's going to come to KC?

Reid is the best we can do. Big name coach wise. Gruden isnt coaching this year, Cowher is all BS

Because Clark will hire him and fire Pioli and bring Heckert with him. Clark knows he needs to save the fan base

If that's the case then why wasn't Pioli fired say, I don't know, 36 hours ago?

Because he's trying to force him to quit.

If that is the best we can do we are in trouble.

Fantastic theory that holds no water.

I haven't seen anything on Gruden or Cowher not wanting to coach next year.

Why doesn't it hold water?

Because he's not going to throw away millions of dollars?

There are 2 reasons that Pioli is still around.

1) Clark likes Pioli and still has faith in him.
2) Clark is trying to work around the contract to save money for when he fires him.

That is a real pussy move.

Clark is either an emo pussy who is holding out hope he can find a coach willing to work with his best brah scott.....or, some legal issue around money is holding up pioli's certain firing


we'll know soon

fwiw, petro was adamant this morning on his show that he has 'sources' saying Cowher is not going to coach this year...

But Schefter said it was 95 percent right?

Do you still believe everything you read from him?
Posted via Mobile Device

Cowher hasnt coached in since 2006. Gruden has yet to line up an interview. Gruden will coach again, Cowher wont

Its what Pioli made employees due when he first came here. Hear Babb talk about it this morning

I think they are working on a settlement or because of the 3-4 lawsuits that are currently on going might be an issue.

Shutting an egomaniac out of a coaching search is sure to get under his skin.

And listening to Clark talk leads me to believe he's lost faith in Pioli. He gave him a gag order.

How do you know it doesnt? Why else would he strip him of his power and say the HC will have it

Shutout so hard that the only rumors to KC have Pioli connections.

Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe PR?

I agree so time will tell

Albert Breer ‏<s style="text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">@</s>AlbertBreer
Had a couple people adamantly tell me no deal was close for Reid in the afternoon. Lot of smoke out there. But looks like they were right.

Could be. Again time will tell. I too have said its fishy that the 3 candidates so far have connections to him

How is that a recommendation?

It was all that radio station dude trying to get publicity

I would be surprised if Cowher ever coached again. Why do that instead of working 1 day a week during the NFL season and make a couple million.

Unless Clark offers him 15-20 million/year, Cowher is not coaching again.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

Andy Reid will interview with the Cardinals tomorrow.

Here we go...

Pioli's puppet.

That is just flat stupid. The highest paid NFL coach makes 8 million a year.

Would you rather have a non-stressed 1 day a week job for 2 million or a stressed 24/7 job for 8 million? I'll take the 2 million every time. Unless Clark severely overpays for the Chin, then he is staying at CBS.

Some people prefer to be active and not inactive.

You dont have the enormous ego necessary to swim in those waters.

I seriously doubt he makes $2m a year from CBS. Prove me wrong.

If they are paying him $2m for 5+ months of work, CBS is reeruned.

There is no link that would have the exact amount, it is rumored to be around $1-2 million. He did sign a 7 figure extension a few years ago.

Gruden's ESPN contract is rumored to be around $4 million a year

Severely overpaid.

Rumored to be over $4 Million annually for Chucky.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...ck-to-coaching

Who wouldn't want to have a job like that?

Sean Payton just signed the biggest deal for a coach at 7.5 per year and I'd bet anything Clark would have no problem matching that for Cowher or Reid.

That is, if he is to be taken at face value.

O's fan you are the one who posted this tweet.

So Schefter has reported it both ways. 95 percent a done deal.

Not even close

Best in the business.
Posted via Mobile Device

Agreed.

Cushy jobs. I figured they were making $500,000-700,000 per.

There really is no reason to come back unless they desire another SB.

well Clark had no problem paying that to Scooter Pioli or 60 million to Castle or 70 million to Tyson Jackson

so I dont see why Clark would have no problem paying an actual real NFL coach

Horton will get a second interview with the Cardinals
Posted by Mike Florio on January 1, 2013, 10:39 PM EST


At a time when a “source” (possibly, agent Bob LaMonte) is expressing “95 percent” certainty to Adam Schefter that Andy Reid will be the next coach of the Cardinals and Arizona P.R. guru Mark Dalton is saying there’s a 99-percent chance that the 95-percent assessment is 100-percent inaccurate, someone not named Andy Reid will be getting a second interview for the job.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton will interview with Arizona brass for a second time on Wednesday, two days after his initial interview for the job.

The source advises that Horton also will interview with the Bills on Wednesday evening, and confirms that Horton interviewed with the Browns on Tuesday in Arizona.

On Monday, the Cardinals fired coach Ken Whisenhunt, G.M. Rod Graves, and the entire offensive coaching staff. The defensive staff remains in place.

On Sirius tonight they said there's a strong group of Cardinals players beating the drum for Horton.
