Mort saying Reid wouldn't want Pioli around if he takes job; Peter King says not so fast, the two respect each other. #headspinning

To those with the immediate question of what would Andy Reid in KC mean for Scott Pioli - it would mean a new GM

This town ain't big enough for both Andy's walrus-like mustache and Scott's giant hipster glasses.

All reports indicate Tom Heckert won't be following AR this time around.

Thoughts?

Well to be fair, the reports were that Heckert wouldn't follow him to ARIZONA, IIRC.

Maybe Heckert said "anywhere but Phoenix"?

So is every coach out there.

Of course King would say that.

When it says that Ferentz is meeting with the Chiefs today, that could mean that he and Scott are getting together for dinner tonight where they're going to try and figure out where it all went so wrong for both of them...and maybe Ferentz is in town to offer Iowa's AD position to Pioli.

Also, if you know agent Bob Lamonte's MO (reps Reid, Gruden, Holmgren), it sure looks like #Cardinals are the ones getting used.

Of course that's what Peter King said...

Hmmm I've read the opposite actually. I've read that both would be very open to a reunion. Could be wrong though.

Arizona has 2 in house candidates for GM and the Cards wouldn't want Heckert to come with Reid. Haven't read anything else disputing the earlier reports that Heckert and Reid wanted to work together again. I would be very content with a Reid and Heckert combo. Would want Chip Kelly before Reid but that combo is probably my #2 preference.

I hated the Weeden pick that Heckert made, but aside from that I think he had done a good job in Cleveland. I don't think him and Reid would pass on Geno.

King still thinks it's 2009, apparently.

All Peter King said was that they respect each other. Jeff Rosen didn't QUOTE King. Bad form. Plus, King gets info directly from Pioli. Maybe Pioli said "I'm glad I still have a job. I'll fetch Reid coffee if he lets me stay."

Jason Cole, Mort, several others are saying Reid wouldn't want to share power with Pioli. They can respect each other immensely but at the end of the day, Reid is going to get a TON of say.

We know PK is a Scott Pioli shill, but...

I hope that Clark realizes that a big name hire isn't going to change the fanbase's mind on Pioli.
