He's not coming to KC. Clark is reportedly on his way to Philly.

Doubt it lets face the Stanzi facts. 1. he couldn't beat out Cassel or Quinn... enough said

Interesting.

Not sure how this is possible, seeing as how Reid hasn't met with Arizona to get a number to drive up on KC, but interesting nonetheless.

The media knows as much as we do.

LMAO

The gif never gets old. Hilarious every time.

Andy Reid knows the QB position is key to winning. I'm sure he's intrigued by our first pick. Having the first pick can lure some good candidates for us. Andy Reid would be a good hire.

Well McNabb and Johnson both were major reasons. In reality that is what you want in your franchise... a proven winning QB and a very good DC. Once McNabb started going down hill and Johnson died, it made things tough for Reid in Philly. That is just a nature of the beast. Lets use ourselves as an example... we didn't have a QB and we had a horrible OC, which meant we really struggled.

Jesus i just love that every coach that Chunt is going to interview has a Pioli sideline to it. Why make it this hard?

Jeff Rosen ‏@jeff_rosen88

Mort saying Reid wouldn't want Pioli around if he takes job; Peter King says not so fast, the two respect each other. #headspinning

This town ain't big enough for both Andy's walrus-like mustache and Scott's giant hipster glasses.

Heeeeeell yea

Well to be fair, the reports were that Heckert wouldn't follow him to ARIZONA, IIRC.

Maybe Heckert said "anywhere but Phoenix"?

So is every coach out there.

LMAO Of course King would say that.

When it says that Ferentz is meeting with the Chiefs today, that could mean that he and Scott are getting together for dinner tonight where they're going to try and figure out where it all went so wrong for both of them...and maybe Ferentz is in town to offer Iowa's AD position to Pioli. :)

Exactly. LMAO

Jason Cole ‏@JasonColeYahoo

Also, if you know agent Bob Lamonte's MO (reps Reid, Gruden, Holmgren), it sure looks like #Cardinals are the ones getting used.

Of course that's what Peter King said...


I hate that fat ****ing dipshit.

Hmmm I've read the opposite actually. I've read that both would be very open to a reunion. Could be wrong though.

Arizona has 2 in house candidates for GM and the Cards wouldn't want Heckert to come with Reid. Haven't read anything else disputing the earlier reports that Heckert and Reid wanted to work together again. I would be very content with a Reid and Heckert combo. Would want Chip Kelly before Reid but that combo is probably my #2 preference.

I hated the Weeden pick that Heckert made, but aside from that I think he had done a good job in Cleveland. I don't think him and Reid would pass on Geno.

King still thinks it's 2009, apparently.

All Peter King said was that they respect each other. Jeff Rosen didn't QUOTE King. Bad form. Plus, King gets info directly from Pioli. Maybe Pioli said "I'm glad I still have a job. I'll fetch Reid coffee if he lets me stay."

Jason Cole, Mort, several others are saying Reid wouldn't want to share power with Pioli. They can respect each other immensely but at the end of the day, Reid is going to get a TON of say.

We know PK is a Scott Pioli shill, but...

I hope that Clark realizes that a big name hire isn't going to change the fanbase's mind on Pioli.

YES! 3 losing seasons out of 14. Plus they tried to be the Heat. That doesnt work. Thats why they were losing. Ill take andy reid who can win playoff games and get to a super bowl.

ROFL I love that gif.

Sam Mellinger ‏@mellinger

I'm not reading too much into Pioli going to Atlanta. He and Dimitroff are old buddies. Now, if he's in Philly...

Ohhh....

Didn't notice that.

Right?

Using AZ as leverage or maybe KC is leverage for AZ job

I've been wanting to say this about Ricky Stanzi. On the count that Pioli has wanted Ferentz from Iowa I think that was the notion for him to draft Ricky Stanzi. Had nothing to do with with if Stanzi would be good or not but he his love afair with that coach got him to draft Stanzi.

True could be either way but the media may be saying now Zona is the leverage.

They don't have a ****ing clue what is going on.

Never a waste of time for an unproven candidate to get interview experience.

Pioli with Hunt for Atlanta interviews. Not sure if Pioli will be with Hunt to interview Reid in Philly...per Chris Mortensen.

Well, at least he hit on his two high 1st rounders.

Other than that, TJ Ward and hot garbage.

If Reid comes to KC I'm not sure I want him involved in the draft. According to the following report he sucked at evaluating college talent:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-roseman-reid/

Now that the dust has settled on a dizzying day of terminations and quotes and rumors and reports, it’s time to search through the wreckage of quotes to look for hints at what may have happened in the past — and what could happen next.

In Philadelphia, comments from owner Jeffrey Lurie suggest that the termination of coach Andy Reid was preceded by a determination that G.M. Howie Roseman would or should have more authority over the construction of the roster.

Officially, Reid has had “final say” since the day he was hired, in 1999. Unofficially, Roseman acquired more influence in 2012, based on Lurie’s explanation regarding the manner in which Roseman’s role in a 1-11 collapse over the final three fourths of the season will be assessed.

“I keep voluminous notes on talent evaluation on not just who we draft, but who is valued in each draft by each person that is in the organization that’s working here,” Lurie said. “I came to the conclusion that the person that was providing by far the best talent evaluation in the building was Howie Roseman. I decided to streamline the whole decision-making process for the 2012 draft and offseason and that’s the first draft and offseason I hold Howie completely accountable for. The mistakes that were made in the 2011 draft have little or nothing to do with Howie’s evaluations and I think it was important for me to own up to the mistakes that were made and understand where they were coming from and it was awfully clear.”

In other words, Roseman was trying to get Reid to make other decisions in past years, and hindsight was proving Roseman to be right. And so if Roseman is accountable only for the 2012 draft, it means that Reid, was wisely deferring to the guy whom hindsight was proving to be right.

It doesn’t mean that Roseman will now be in charge of the team. “The way I’ve operated is the way I’m going to operate and that is the new head coach, whoever that is, will report directly to me and that’s the only structure that I insist upon,” Lurie said. “As we go through the process, we have the flexibility to finalize personnel decisions and everything else that goes with the coach-G.M. relationship. But my goal is to have the coach and the General Manager work hand-in-hand and work collaboratively and work in a very, very terrific way together.”

In other words, the next coach of the Eagles may not be running the show the way Reid was for 14 years. Or, possibly, for the first 13 of them.

Thats better drafting than Pioli:)

And Heckert picked Gordon in the supplemental draft who is looking like a stud.

WOW!! This escalated quickly. Yesterday he was a lock to Arizona, now KC is hot...Yesterday IMO seems leverage play by Reids agent to drive up price for KC.

What's he ever done without Jim Johnson? Same thing Belichick did without Tom Brady. Nothing.

Ha!

No.

OP by the way its Schefter...not 2 Fs. lol sorry not language police just saying

That will be the interesting thing to see in how much overall power Reid would have? Then again one would assume he would still want the power he had before. That is why bringing in someone like Heckert who has worked with Reid before makes sense. At least Reid would be comfortable with the GM/HC relationship.

Hopefully a change in scenery and a different roster will refresh Reid's drafting abilities.

I cant take you serious unless you take Stanzi Canzi out of your signature :)

.

Mort just said Pioli was doing the interviews in Atlanta today. Just now on ESPN radio

WTF? Seriously?

Wait what...

nah bring him a variety of KC BBQ to show him whats waitin for him !

How is Pioli doing an interview today in ATL when it's already been reported that Koetter signed a 2-year extension?

Clark is trying to keep Pioli busy so he can go conduct the real interviews.

clark has to let go of pioli, this shit is embarrassing

you've taken away hiring responsibility from a guy you pay $5 mill a year....get a clue, dipshit

Must be it.

Could be the Pioli is doing the Armstrong interview?

LOL They know as much as we do.

No, Mort said he was A PART of the interviews today. It was likely an interview Pioli set up before Sunday night. Why wouldn't he be there?

Well, I think Mort's full of shit.

Pioli might be 'doing interviews in Atl' today...

but he might be interviewing for a gopher job in the Falcons front office, since Andy Reid is coming to KC and Pioli is getting shit-canned.

Schefter says Chunt went to Philly to talk to Reid.

'Hey Scott, stay here and hang out with Dirk Koetter; I gotta go grab a couple cheese steaks...'

Hes just looking busy!

None of those candidates in ATL were serious candidates, so it would make total sense to allow Pioli to conduct those interviews. Hell, we don't even know for sure if Clark was present.

Let Pioli waste all of the time that he wants and stay the **** out of the way of the adults who are doing real business.

Mort was on 810 last hour and said Pioli was in Atlanta with Clark YESTERDAY.

Something got lost in translation there with BossChief's post.

Yeah, sounds like it.

Just further affirmation that Pioli is here to stay

Deez that is my take. Let Pioli go talk to Koetter and Armstrong. Who is to say that these interviews weren't already pre-set by Pioli before the sh*t hit the fan with Clark? It was immediately once Romeo was fired, these guys were being announced as interviews. It is like Pioli leaked to the media... of course they are Falcon guys he knows that could work under him as he couldn't get anyone else of worth outside of the Patriot tree.

Jeff McLane ‏@Jeff_McLane

Andy has connections there. Still think Cards are most likely. RT@ThirstyTortuga: @mortreport how do u feel about KC's chances to land Reid?



Eagles Reporter

I like :D

tangent, but o'brien is apparently open to leaving penn state....that ought to create a shit storm there....

Who does Reid have connections with other than Mark Donovan?

Shut up Fat Peter.

Steak N' Shake.

The initial report from Peter King on Sunday night says it all:

Romeo being gone was a done deal but Pioli's status was uncertain.

Why?

Because PIOLI TOLD PETER KING that he was going to fire Romeo no matter what happened with himself. Pioli has been eyeing HC candidates for several weeks, no doubt about it.

I really hate P.King - he's the Anderson Cooper of the NFL reporter world.

Not sure.

*-except ugly chicks won't even offer to blow him.

makes the most sense...

but did Pioli fire RAC...or did Chunt do it??

True.

He pays girls to do it when Pioli is unavailable.

I don't even...........seriously, Pioli can't be back. There is nothing else to say.

Chunt created another cluster**** with this Pioli bullshit. So is every interview going to revolve around whether Pioli was there or not? Only the Cheaps could **** up and do things opposite of normal teams.
