Tim Ring, the sports director at KTVK-TV in Arizona, is reporting that the Cardinals are very close to hiring Reid as their next head coach.

One source close to Andy Reid insisted deal w/ Cards not close. Another source said Cards search open and no leading candidate at this time

So the mighty Schefter doesn't really know?

Sounds 50/50 to me not 95%

Jason Cole thinks Reid lands in KC.

Link?

There sure are a lot of baseless assumptions on this site lately. Personally I'll wait to see what actually happens.

That's ok if true. We'll take his twin brother Holmgren.

I don't know why we always have to slow play every decision. You've known these changes were coming for half of the season. Stop ****ing around and get on it. Talk is just talk. I hope he has a plan in place because it sure doesn't feel like it. Hopefully I'm wrong and Kelly will be named January 4th.

The impatience is astounding here. It has been one day. Has any other team hired a HC yet?

This reminds of Shanahan to KC DONE DEAL!!!! Chris Mortensen reported as such, and then the rat said, "What the **** are you talking about?" I hope Reid comes to KC. Death to Pioli!!!!

Its funny because LaConfora mentions KC as a sleeping giant for HC, then mentions reid twice, now Jason Cole thinks KC, John Clayton said KC...until Reid is in Arizona ill say Reid will go to KC. But if Clark cant land a good coach he's BSing

Yep.

If Clark wants Reid, Pioli is out. I don't see how Reid could possibly work with Pioli.

PFT suggested his agent might be blowing smoke about Arizona. Just as long as he doesn't come here I don't care where he goes. He should take a year off or more to get his life straightened out.

If the hold up of Reid to AZ is because they don't want to bring his GM in then what makes you think he's going to come to KC?

Reid is the best we can do. Big name coach wise. Gruden isnt coaching this year, Cowher is all BS
