One of our local insiders says KC interested in Reid

[BossChief]

He seems like he needs a year off after the season and his family pressures. ...but if he wants to coach we can do a lot worse. He knows quarterbacks and is a great teacher.

My concerns with him would be:

Ability to hire a good enough staff
Reluctance to run the ball when it's needed to balance a gameplan
Age
Would he want to change the defense to a 4-3

Positives
He would be a proponent to resigning Albert and Bowe long term and he would want a quarterback with that top pick and he did wonders with McNabb.

I'd be perfectly fine with the hiring of Andy Reid...but I prefer Arians or Cowher if they are interested.

This. Reid needs a year off because of the death of his son. I don't know if he will ever be the same coach. I would rather have Arians or Jay Gruden, but especially Cowher. I would even consider Cowher for HC/GM.
