He did get a 2 year extension earlier around the time I got the info that the extension was happening.
-Tom Heckert is in demand and Andy may just elect to either wait for the Packers to be out (may be waiting a while) or he could entertain Ray Farmer in the role. There's some connection between Farmer and Reid that I can't link but they say they have a fondness for each other.
-Doug Pederson as QB coach, Castillo at OL, Bobby April as ST coach. Haven't heard a thing about RB or WR. He likely will bring Melvin the TE coach too. The only coach that has a chance to stick is Otis Smith as secondary coach, but that will be determined by DC. As I said earlier the Kiffin smoke was quickly put out, Ray Horton would be ideal, but they aren't going to wait around on him either to see if he gets another job. Dick Jauron is the new flavor of the hour as a guy linked to the DC job with Reid.
-Reid is going to completely overhaul the organization. He's bringing in his guys in every facet. Scouts, equipment managers, trainers, strength people. All will be Reid's guys.
-Shurmur or Childress will be O-coordinator. Varying opinions on who it would be. Me personally, I think Childress is it.
-Reid wants a 5 year deal. Chiefs, in standard fashion, offered 3. They'll get to 5 years around 38 mill when it's all said and done.
-Clark Hunt has done a masterful job taking back control of his franchise over that ****ing weasel Pioli.

Ray Farmer played in Phladelphia from 1996-98. Reid's first season was 1999, Maybe it's just a Philly thing.
Otis Smith is currently the Defensive Quality control coach. Chiefs and NFL HOFer Emmitt Thomas is currently the secondary coach. So we are just speculating the promotion?
