For the eleventy billionth time:
He's one of the best "buy-in" coaches in the league. Witness the transformation of his first season in KC. Not a whole lot changed on the roster, but that 2-14 team was suddenly on it's way to the playoffs.
Positives:
Steady coach, rarely sports a losing season.
Great offensive mind, allegedly possesses one of the most complex and thick offensive playbooks in the business.
General positive attitude coaching style, prefers to win hearts and minds rather than motivate through fear or intimidation.
Negatives:
Slow to make change when personnel is clearly in need of some bench time or discipline.
Orchestration of offensive drives; this one pretty much speaks for itself.
Egoli; oh yes, it's there, and in spades to the close observer. Reid can not seem to separate himself from what's good for Reid vs what's good for the team.
Good ol'boy club member; Reid is certainly not the only member of this shitty fraternity, but he's one of its most ardent adherents. Do not expect to see fresh, young, and innovative prospects show up in the Reid Coaching Clubhouse, at least not in the upper tiers.
