PHILADELPHIA (KCTV) -
Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is interviewing Andy Reid in Philadelphia about the team's head coach opening, while another of the job's candidates no longer appears available.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Hunt is in Philadelphia meeting with Reid, who also reportedly plans to meet with the Arizona Cardinals ownership later this week about their opening.

No word if Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is with Hunt in the meetings with Reid.

Mortensen said Pioli was with Hunt when he met with two Atlanta Falcons coaches about replacing Romeo Crennel.

One of those coaches, Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, signed a contract extension with the Falcons during the overnight hours. The Falcons announced Wednesday morning Koetter would be staying after signing the one-year extension.

Hunt and Pioli also interviewed Falcons special teams coach Keith Armstrong on New Year's Day.

Snagging Reid would be a big get for Hunt. Reid has a history of cultivating NFL quarterbacks, starting with Donovan McNabb. He was the league's most tenured coach before he was ousted following Sunday's game.

Some media outlets reported Reid is a done deal in Arizona, but Hunt swooped in to interview Reid before the former Eagles coach travels west.
