Tim Ring, the sports director at KTVK-TV in Arizona, is reporting (https://twitter.com/timring3TV/status/286211348797460480) that the Cardinals are very close to hiring Reid as their next head coach.

There was a thread somewhere on here where it was implied that Hunt told his FO not to talk to the media because none of them spoke for the team anymore, as all of their jobs were in jeopardy. Maybe I am not remembering that correctly but that's what I thought was said.

Andy Reid, Arizona Cardinals talk picking up steam

Only one day removed from "Black Monday", the Arizona Cardinals could be closing in on seismic coaching hire.

Multiple reports suggest that the Cardinals have zeroed in on Andy Reid as their next head coach and the wide expectation is that a deal will be completed. The Philadelphia Inquirer hears its already a "done deal" while ESPN says there is a "95% chance" that Reid will wind up as Cardinals coach, and could have the job by the end of the week.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Whisenhunt hasn't interviewed with the Cardinals yet.

KGME in Arizona reports that Cardinals president Michael Bidwill interviewed defensive coordinator Ray Horton on Tuesday, but Bidwill is focused on bringing Reid and former Browns GM Tom Heckert as a package deal to the desert. CBS confirmed Horton's interview, which would satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule. None of the reports on Reid's potential hire above have been fully confirmed, but this much smoke usually means fire.

The Cardinals sound ready to build Eagles West in Arizona. Heckert worked under Reid in Philadelphia. Former Eagles assistants Pat Shurmur and Brad Childress could be candidates as offensive coordinator. Bidwill expressed a desire to salvage Kevin Kolb's career at his Monday press conference, although Reid has already traded Kolb away once. If Reid landed with the Cardinals, speculation would immediately start regarding whether he'd bring Michael Vick to Arizona.

That quarterback conversation is for another post and another day. At the speed the Cardinals are moving, that day may arrive very soon.

Yeah, I'm not saying AZ should target Reid for the Kolb connection. I just don't see how a cards fan would be down on Reid for the Kolb connection.

You could go either way with that I think. If they weren't going to start Kolb because he wasn't the guy with the best upside, but they think Kolb can be a starter somewhere and they can get something for him, dealing him is best for the team and for Kolb.

Sure, me too. Jack Del Rio is actually doing a pretty good job of that on the other side of the ball. He inherited some talent but he's mixing up fronts, being creative with blitzes, he does some really off-the-wall stuff like playing you guys in the Nickle that first time around. I could see Del Rio getting some interest but I think it's premature. I just don't see that with McCoy. He's the OC. As far as I know his job is to install a system, create a game plan, and call plays. The system he installed didn't work at the beginning of the season. He let Manning call plays and use more of Manning's "system" and suddenly we're a better offensive team. I can't credit McCoy for that.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Del Rio would give KC some attitude but after listening to Clark he doesn't fit really but he did have Jacksonville doing ok at times

Grabbing a HC with an OC background, and an OC that has a strong system, would probably work well. That O needs to be completely overhauled. You guys have enough talent on D that I think a capable no-name DC would work.

Tim Ring, the sports director at KTVK-TV in Arizona, is reporting (https://twitter.com/timring3TV/status/286211348797460480) that the Cardinals are very close to hiring Reid as their next head coach.

I call BS-they fire coaches yesterday and suddenly in less than 24 hours he's "very close" to signing??? No interviews with other coaches, no interview with a black coach per league rules???

All these silly rapid rumors are just like when the police first interview witnesses; the description is normally wrong just like the info that flew out of the Connecticut shooting....

Fuck the bitch that is Del rio

I am a little disappointed at the smoke around Andy Reid to Arizona. He fits the description of what Clark wants in a head coach. . . plus he is an offensive guy, which I DEFINITELY prefer

They already interviewed a minority candidate and Reid was viewed as a hot prospect as soon as he was fired.

Yeah you would think so. Reid as HC and Turner as OC? I know they are "retreads" but your franchise needs stability through a rebuild. Seems reasonable.

[htismaqe]

Since I can't start a thread, I'm posting this in this shitty thread.


Chiefs have an interest in Syracuse coach Doug Marrone according to Jason LaCanfora.

Just heard it on 610

JFC

:facepalm:

LaCanfora said that there might be a bidding war between Phil Emery and SCOTT PIOLI for Marrone's services.

How fucking lazy could 610 be?

This report is OBVIOUS BS because it begins and ends with the assumption that PIOLI will be hiring the next head coach.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Yeah you would think so. Reid as HC and Turner as OC? I know they are "retreads" but your franchise needs stability through a rebuild. Seems reasonable.

Yea i would love to go get a Jay Gruden or Arians but we need a vet coach. Turner as his OC would be great but Im not sure they match. That might be too much of a dream scenario

[okcchief]

All we've heard is he has interviews with 3 coaches opposite the profile he described. All 3 with connections to Pioli . It could all be a smoke screen, but you should know who you want and act fast. I don't know why we always have to slow play every decision. You've known these changes were coming for half of the season. Stop fucking around and get on it. Talk is just talk. I hope he has a plan in place because it sure doesn't feel like it. Hopefully I'm wrong and Kelly will be named January 4th.

[silver5liter]

To be fair though, it seems like everyone is interviewing the people we are.

Here's one from NFL.com:

Andy Reid, Arizona Cardinals talk picking up steam
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000121008/article/andy-reid-arizona-cardinals-talk-picking-up-steam


By Gregg Rosenthal

Updated: Jan. 1, 2013 at 05:36 p.m.

Only one day removed from "Black Monday", the Arizona Cardinals could be closing in on seismic coaching hire.

Multiple reports suggest that the Cardinals have zeroed in on Andy Reid as their next head coach and the wide expectation is that a deal will be completed. The Philadelphia Inquirer hears its already a "done deal" while ESPN says there is a "95% chance" that Reid will wind up as Cardinals coach, and could have the job by the end of the week.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Whisenhunt hasn't interviewed with the Cardinals yet.

KGME in Arizona reports that Cardinals president Michael Bidwill interviewed defensive coordinator Ray Horton on Tuesday, but Bidwill is focused on bringing Reid and former Browns GM Tom Heckert as a package deal to the desert. CBS confirmed Horton's interview, which would satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule. None of the reports on Reid's potential hire above have been fully confirmed, but this much smoke usually means fire.

The Cardinals sound ready to build Eagles West in Arizona. Heckert worked under Reid in Philadelphia. Former Eagles assistants Pat Shurmur and Brad Childress could be candidates as offensive coordinator. Bidwill expressed a desire to salvage Kevin Kolb's career at his Monday press conference, although Reid has already traded Kolb away once. If Reid landed with the Cardinals, speculation would immediately start regarding whether he'd bring Michael Vick to Arizona.

That quarterback conversation is for another post and another day. At the speed the Cardinals are moving, that day may arrive very soon.

Can you imagine him coming here and bringing Vick with him. He'd draft another tackle to make sure he was protected and this place would lose it's collective mind...

[MotherfuckerJones]

To be fair though, it seems like everyone is interviewing the people we are.

Yes agree but only KC HAS Pioli

[listopencil]

Yea i would love to go get a Jay Gruden or Arians but we need a vet coach. Turner as his OC would be great but Im not sure they match. That might be too much of a dream scenario

Here's a break down of Reid's Offense:

As I recall Turner is more of an Air Coryell guy. They could be blended, but it would be an odd fit.

Yes, it's not possible that the 2 sides have shown mutual interest because, you know, the reports saying they haven't interviewed say they have talked.

I mean you hung on that percentage when trying to bash me.


Done deal you said right? Well someone was wrong somewhere. Happens in this day and age of everyone wanting to be first.

Adam Schefter is right about 95% of the time. He's the best in the business.

[ChiefsCountry]

Reid is from Los Angeles and went to school at BYU. Coached at Northern Arizona and in El Paso. Geographically and his background fits perfectly with Arizona. I would venture the hold up would be who he brings along for GM. Arizona has a pretty good choice in-house I believe.

I'm not in any way saying is not going to happen. Hell I don't want Reid here, so it's not even wishful thinking.

[Gravedigger]

#1 Schefter is reporting that a league source says he's 95% sure.
#2 What if Reid is doing this to blow smoke and get the price up from another organization by leaking info like this. Coaches and Players do it all the time and the fact that the Cardinals have not even interviewed him or shown him the facilities or anything I think it's a hooplah right now.

Not to mention whats great about Arizona? Honestly? They had a worse pass attack than we did, Kolb is obviously dried up, they have a newer stadium but their fanbase is nowhere near as dedicated as ours. They've only sniffed postseason success once when they went to the Superbowl. I just don't understand why he believes thats the best situation to continue his career. Not to mention in the same division as Harbaugh and Carroll with a two years behind each in building? I'd think you'd come here where you only have to deal with the Broncos and that's until Peyton hangs it up which should be in the next year or two.

once coaches with somewhat of a name start coming off the board to what Chiefs homers consider shittier teams (they are right), its going to fly WHY DID ____ CHOOSE ____ OVER US?

Horton will get a second interview with the Cardinals
Posted by Mike Florio on January 1, 2013, 10:39 PM EST


At a time when a “source” (possibly, agent Bob LaMonte) is expressing “95 percent” certainty to Adam Schefter that Andy Reid will be the next coach of the Cardinals and Arizona P.R. guru Mark Dalton is saying there’s a 99-percent chance that the 95-percent assessment is 100-percent inaccurate, someone not named Andy Reid will be getting a second interview for the job.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton will interview with Arizona brass for a second time on Wednesday, two days after his initial interview for the job.

The source advises that Horton also will interview with the Bills on Wednesday evening, and confirms that Horton interviewed with the Browns on Tuesday in Arizona.

On Monday, the Cardinals fired coach Ken Whisenhunt, G.M. Rod Graves, and the entire offensive coaching staff. The defensive staff remains in place.
