Update from @mortreport: Cards visit with Andy Reid is off, Chiefs have not scheduled other visits with candidates, hoping to wrap deal Fri.

From the reports thus far, Reid seems like anything but a lock to be our next HC. With the list of candidates out there that really sucks as well.

Learned his lesson from Manning.

Why?

Because ***** TOLD PETER KING that he was going to fire Romeo no matter what happened with himself. ***** has been eyeing HC candidates for several weeks, no doubt about it.

Yep.

Sounds like these were interviews that ***** set up before the end of the season.

Clark sends ***** instead of cancelling outright, ***** has ZERO power to do anything, explains why interview reportedly went poorly and Koetter signs an extension with ATL before *****'s car leaves the parking lot.

1. Chip
2. Reid
3. O'Brien

After that, you may as well interview Haley to come back.

Ask him with a straight face if he thinks that he and ***** could co-exist...then bust up laughing and say 'just shitting you - that **** is gone.'

For some reason I envision ***** riding the bus to the interview.

I agree on CHIP my first choice as well, but I don't even think he's a candidate. Clark probably doesn't even know he exists.

Hoping for the best as I like Reid but I think of him as a fairer skinned Romeo. Not sure we need that in KC right now. Something between players coach and Todd Haley would be most welcomed. A coach with NFL experience is also a must.

Perhaps you should stick to DC. You know jack and shit about NFL football.

I'd say that is a slightly above average draft record. That said, refusing to give up his 2nd first rounder in a package to move up for RGIII and then using that same pick on Weeden is a pretty big strike.

In the end, I could not possibly care less if it means we're getting Reid in here. He'll do.

Schwartz and Pinkston are OK, I wouldn't call them "nice players." Agree to disagree on those two.

I had high hopes for Taylor, but he's been god-awful.

And yes, the RGIII debacle is a huge black mark.

Here's something to keep in mind - the interviewers could be huge here.

Look - say what we want about Clark Hunt, but he's still a very very dynamic personality. He's young, charismatic and engaging. He strikes a very favorable presence and if you're Andy Reid, you have to be excited about a guy that young with his energy.

Meanwhile, Bill Bidwell is widely regarded as one of the worst owners in NFL History. He's essentially the old man from Braveheart. He's a creaky old goat that could never command a room like Clark Hunt could.

That could be a pretty big element in our favor. Clark Hunt would be a much much more desirable guy to work for than Bill Bidwell.

I was thinking public transit from the airport. Either way I like to imagine him riding the bus with some other serious degenerates.
