It's not hard to believe that Andy thinks he can win with Alex, because it's not hard-for me, at least-to believe that Andy is that unintelligent of a human being.
Reid's clock-(mis)management is the butt of jokes nationally. I listened to a national radio show this morning where the hosts were literally laughing at him (again) because once the Bears got down to the 10 yd line with timeouts and a minute left, it was obvious that time wasn't a factor for the Bears, therefore the Chiefs should've been calling timeouts to keep time on the clock in case the Bears scored. One host said Reid should be sued for malpractice, and he's right.
Reid makes ignorant mistakes like this over and over and over. He's been in football for decades, how is it that even the MOST BASIC TIME MANAGEMENT concepts completely elude him? It's because he's a freaking dummy in terms of coaching football.

He's a motivator and knows the game.
He needs to look at Mike McCarthy in Green Bay and give OC duties to a qualified OC and coach the entire team. If Reid would do this, if Dorsey can convince him to do this, I do not mind Reid as a head coach whatsoever. The players absolutely love him and play hard for him. It's the mistakes and clock management that is his bane. That can be fixed by giving the offense over to a guy who can focus on just the offense.
They also should seriously start looking at hiring a guy like Kyle Wittingham at Utah for defensive coordinator. Runs a pro style set defensively (very similar to what the Chiefs run and would be an easy transition for our personnel) and always has Utah near the top defensively in D1. Sutton has to go. Today. There have been far too many second half shit the bed episodes to think that they are just a fluke at this point.
