Reid is going to turn Cassel into a multiple Pro Bowler.....

LMAO

Sorry, couldn't say that with a straight face.

Yep.

The biggest problem with Marty wasn't hiring Marty, it was that he wasn't FIRED after the 1997 season.

All Arizona needs is a QB and a few tweaks.

They already have a better defense than KC, but KC has a better chance of fixing that QB issue die to picking 1st.

HC Andy Reid + QB Geno Smith + new GM Mike Lombardi

A few tweaks? That few tweaks better be their ENTIRE offensive line.

This also tells me that Clark knows he needs to do something that will revitalize the fanbase and that he can't go with some unknown commodity to win over the bulk of the fans.

If he's worried about going to the best chance to win why doesn't he go to Chicago?

It's not great, but it would look a TON better with better QB play - much like ours looked a TON better in Orton's three games.

Cutler?

Gonna have to explain to me why that's a question.

Why would we fire a coach that goes 13-3 and fields the #1 defense in the league??

Because of Gannon/Grbac?? Because there was no instant replay?? Because the NFL wanted Elway to win a Super Bowi, and literally made it happen, down to Holmgren instructing his defense to allow Davis to walk in the go-ahead TD...

I mean, no one was suggesting that Marty leave after '97.

Andy Reid immediately fixes all that stuff

It will be looked upon and a great move by NFL media etc

Cutler is the least of their problems.

That old-ass, overpriced defense is about to need a major overhaul.

Cutler sucks?

Do they? Fair enough. I dindt pay attention this year cuz we were so bad I couldnt watch football period.

Someone should slap you.

NFLnet is pretty much ruling out any other team other than Arizona. That Andy isn't interested in any other team.

Clark Hunt just needs to make a good impression & maybe have a chance I don't know. I don't think NFLnet is that accurate with what they are saying.

Me neither but i know all the defenses in the NFC west are ****ing tough

Actually Marty resigned after a disappointing 7-9 record in 1998 due likely to rumors of off the field issues with Marty. Chiefs have not been same since.

They probably aren't updated.

The interview is already over.

It worked out pretty well at first. The Eagles had an unstoppable offense the first year he was playing.

But Vick wore down and defenses figured out his kryptonite. Reid may have hung on a little too long once that happened, but I don't see what more appealing option he had.

Before that he turned McNabb into a regular pro-bowler, and then dumped him when production dropped off.

All of this seems like acceptable judgement by the head coach, and making the most of what he had. Over the years he also had several McNabb back-ups who excelled under Reid, and stepped in for some big time performances when McNabb was hurt. Those guys never did anything of note anywhere else.

I think he'd be more than happy with how our offensive line stacks up against the Cardinals. He basically wouldn't have to do anything but re-sign Albert. He's got bookend tackles and a young/talented interior line. Charles already fits the RB that he likes. He'd have his pick at QB. Really all he would need to do (if he re-signs Bowe) is find a deep threat WR and a TE.

Well, apparently Reid is already on a plane over to AZ, so...

Yeah, so he's even more frustrating.

I won't turn down the opportunity to watch the Chiefs win playoff games every year. I just hope Reid can figure out how to win the one that matters, preferably in under a decade.

For the gif? Or that I like the idea of Mike Lombardi as GM?

There's too much smoke around Arizona. We're being used for leverage IMO...

Yeah, surprising move. I don't at all promote their quarterback decision in Cleveland. I think holmgren has the mentality that he knows how to find quarterbacks and then hes terrific at coaching up an underdog. There's risk from that standpoint. But again... From a pure quarterback coaching standpoint, his resume is hands down the best. Geno strikes me as a guy he would like.

But the browns are a better team than people here realize. They had a brutal schedule but kept within a td of most games in the early going.

So yeah... I hope he doesn't skip over geno. But if you give him geno, he is the best at the game at coaching him up. Geno, in many ways, can be a lot like Brett Favre.

all true.

A.J. Feely comes immediately to mind...

leverage for what? its Andy Reid, he's gonna get alot of money somewhere. He doesnt need leverage. Makes no sense.

Mike Lombardi.

jd, where did you see that he is already on a plane headed for Zona? Your saying he has already interviewed with KC?

thats what someone on twitter is saying

This Ian Rappaport interview on 610 right now has me wanting to blow my brains out while falling from a tall building. Why do they invite idiots like this on for interviews. He can't even convey his thoughts in a normal manner. Sounds like a frat boy who's still hungover from NYE. Obviously no homework done. IDIOT.

He's probably going to go see what AZ is offering him. As of right now....he's probably the best HC out there right now. He'd be dumb not to see what everyone is offering him.

Because it was painfully obvious he couldn't close the deal and was getting desperate.

Marty's desperation resulted in the 1998 season, which was one of the most embarrassing in team history.

No doubt that he'd like our OL better.

But he'd be an idiot of epic proportion if he didn't like their defense better.

In Arizona, he has holes on one side of the ball. In KC, there are significant holes on both sides.

Being completely honest, there's only two reasons why KC is a better opportunity than Arizona:

1st overall pick.

Better owner.

Christ, he may WANT the Arizona job BECAUSE Kolb is there. He may not think they have a QB problem.

Money talks. Unfortunately that is not Clarks suit. Reid, Gruden, Cowher, Kelly are this years Manning. Clark doesn't understand the idea of just out bidding his competition.

Yeah, it's way more likely that he's using Ari as leverage to drive up his price for a job he wants.

Kinda like what Peyton Manning did with Ari last year.

Hesounds like he has no idea what he's talking about. He's bumbling all over the place.

Coming soon from Scheffter: The Chiefs are just a Geno Smith and Arenas away from a 5-11 2013.

That is what I thought when I first heard this. Guess we'll see.

Oh I fully expect him to visit Arizona still, it is only smart on his behalf. Just wanted to know where it was stated he has already done the KC interview and is on his way to Zona?

You know, Arizona is really hot. Don't fat guys hate that?

I blew this guy shit on twitter because KC is not the worst job.
2 reasons we sucked:
QB play
Coaching

q

He could also be using KC to drive up the price for the job he wants.

Like the Arizona Cardinals didnt know that ANdy Ried would have other offers!

Oh good....Danny is calling him out. This is why I like the Danny Parkins' Show. They basically let you know when you're being a dumbass...without actually saying it.

You're dumb as ****.

Manning didn't come here because of Pioli....not money.

He made Pioli the highest paid GM in the NFL.

As of yesterday (I haven't tuned in yet today) they were still saying Ferentz was a candidate for the job.

NFLN is WAY out of touch...

His agent is Bob LaMonte. Nuff said.

Bidwell is notoriously cheap. They've got some in house options for both coach and GM, so if Reid's price is too high they might turn elsewhere. Remember, Reid is going to want to bring some high profile assistants with him, which to me would be the most attractive thing about hiring him. Those guys cost money. And if he wants Heckert too, more money there.
So if Zona is "battling" us for his services, they may be more willing to give him carte blanche...

This rumor mill is driving me crazy. Guy from Philly enquirer said nothing about Reid in kc on nfl network ten minutes ago.

Unless this interview started at 6:00am, I'm not encouraged by the reports that Reid is already on a plane to Phoenix.

Didn't Carl Peterson sign off on the McGlocktons, Wayne Simmonses, Bam Morrises, etc. I think Peterson drafted Vanover even though his off-field issues were so bad he left Florida State after his sophomore year to play a year in the CFL so he could be draft eligible??

Marty wasn't the only one who was desperate after '97.

Oh...I'd definitely take AZ's defense over ours. If he takes the job because of Kolb....then good riddance. Kolb ****ing sucks.

NFLN and ESPN hate the Chiefs...FACT

Kind of like when Peyton Manning signed with Miami?

Usually when there's THIS much smoke, the team generating the smoke is the one being used.

Christ, Ian Rappaport is STILL pimping Ferentz.

LMAO

AZ would be better off sticking with their DC, Horton.

Zilla it is pretty mind blowing at times. Hard to believe some guy from Philly isn't up to date on KC interviewing Reid. Must not follow twitter? lol

where? im not hearinganything or seeing anything about him leaving phillyyet. I heard maybe in a few hours

He couldn't outbid anybody for Manning. Manning wouldn't even pick up the phone because of Pioli.

Brian Westbrook was used VERY EFFECTIVELY by Reid. I'm not worried about how he will use Charles one single bit.

Sure. But how many have a solid nucleus of young talent that includes 5 Pro Bowlers AND the #1 overall pick??

That's a HUGE attraction to this gig.

I will freak the **** out if it is Ferentz. . . You should too

Still want to know who is exactly reporting that Reid is on his way to Zona currently?

If AZ goes all in on Reid.....they could end up ****ing themselves.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Jaguars will interview Cardinals Vice President of Player Personnel Steve Keim for their GM job later this week, per Jacksonville source.

He has nothing. No idea. Hence the Ferentz BS.

Yeah, I'm not reading all the way back to see if it's been mentioned, so what was the timeline on all of this going down?

yep, when they asked Pioli about that, he stood there looking dumbfounded and goes, i dont know! what kind of bullshit is that.

god damnit i sure as hell hope the **** not.....:#

From below...

Arizona has one of the better defenses in the NFL and enough young personnel to get even better.

That said, Romeo Crennel probably kept their DC (Horton) from being promoted. He set back the battlefield commission for DCs by at least 2 or 3 seasons.

Arizona's a pretty good job. It's better than Buffalo, Cleveland and San Diego. And I'm not convinced KC is clearly better than Arizona.

And remember this - the Chiefs don't skimp on assistants. They paid Romeo and Weis at the same time.

And under Vermeil, we had the most assistant coaches in the league.

Rappaport just stopped the interview to check text messages while talking about Ferentz.

Probably getting talking points from Pioli.

LMAO

If Reid thinks Arizona is the land of milk and honey because Kolb is there, then I'm fine letting him go.

How do you figure? Four years ago he made Pioli the highest paid GM in the league.

I think the NFL in general hates the Chiefs.

I've seen that guy the last couple of days. He thinks Reid is a slouch. Sounded like he has an axe to grind really.
