While the Eagles are busy searching for their next head coach, Andy Reid has been busy filling out his coaching staff down in Kansas City- including one interesting hire that has now become official.
Britt Reid, son of Andy Reid, has been hired by the Chiefs as a quality control coach. As a quality control coach with the team, Britt will likely be responsible for breaking down film of future opponents and analyzing data.
The decision to bring on his son Britt will likely raise some eyebrows. Garrett Reid, Andy Reid's other son, was working with the team's strength and conditioning coaches when he passed away last year due to an overdose in the Lehigh dorm rooms. Reid has since been criticized by some for bringing Garrett around the team given his history with drugs. Viles of steroids along with needles were found in the room that Garrett was staying in.
Both Britt and Garrett were arrested in 2007 due to separate traffic incidents that involved drug charges. Britt has been working on the Temple University football staff.
In addition to Britt Reid, Andy Reid is also bringing Tommy Brasher with him to Kansas City. Brasher stepped in for Jim Washburn when he was fired last season. The defensive line, after struggling most of the season, played much better under Brasher.
