Flop, can you change the name of the Lounge back or something better?

I'm sure he's been up all night with no sleep.

Which means KC gave him exactly what he wanted.

And ***** is fired! Thanks, Clark!

Think Reid is a great coach and ought to do a good job in KC. The one knock on him is that he just does NOT run the ball nearly enough. Ever. Hopefully that's a hangup that his OC or whoever can help him overcome because, IMHO, it's a real problem.

OK guys help me out.

I understand that Romeo was crap and so was the GM but why is Andy Reid any better?

He coached for 14 years in Philly and couldn't get it done so why would he at KC?

Worst year of my sports fan life is over and the brightest horizon I could have hoped for is in sight. I never thought about Reid because I didn't think we had a chance. Yes. This is the best day in franchise history that I have been a part of. I wasn't alive when Super Bowl IV happened.

Spot on as usual Flopnuts.

I live in PA and it has sucked being a Chiefs fan, being surrounded by perennial contenders and being ripped by my friends for being a Chiefs fan.

I was 11 when the won the last playoff game. This is the first time in a long time I have had hope and pride. Props to Clark Hunt for taking the trash out.

Just want to enjoy this for a while. It's a good day to be a Chiefs fan.

Cassel will be gone. No way Andy keeps him at 8million.

Whats funny is how the media still calls Cassel our starter, even though he was benched during the bye week.

Didn't Reid have Duce Staley on his team and made him look like a stud? I think Charles will get less carries but the carries he does get will suit him far better than just running up Alberts @ss half the time.

Reid would be a god for the remainder of the off season if his first official act as HC was to cut Cassel.

[KCSPORTSNUT]

Well well for all the Clark is cheap and not interested in the Chiefs people i believe Mr Hunt just said SUCK THIS THIS IS MY TEAM!! Congrats Chiefs and all Chiefs fans for we now are legitimate NFL contenders.

I'm somewhat concerned about his inability to get it done myself, but he's so much better than Romeo that you should feel bad for even asking the question.

My hope is that Reid follows in the tradition of Vermeil, Belicheck, Shanahan, and Coughlin as a guy who needs another crack at it to finally win a Super Bowl.

yep.

Between Staley, Westbrook, and McCoy, it's pretty clear Reid knows how to get the most out of a running back, even if he doesn't pound it on the ground that much.
