Whether or not this article is true, it's pretty clear that:
A. There was obviously some level of dysfunction going on the past few years, hence why we're seeing an exodus of coaches and why things just seemed "off" so many games. Mahomes was completely disengaged the second half of that Bengals game, so the article seems plausible. At least something similar to what they're writing could have easily occurred.
or
B. The message has simply worn thin and Reid has decided it's time for fresh blood in the coaching staff.
Considering we've gone to 4 straight AFC Title games and 2 Super Bowls in the last 4 seasons, I find it hard to believe Reid would actually want to shake things up. We all know how fiercely loyal he is to coaches. There is obviously more to this we'll ever know one way or another. The fact that EB hasn't already signed a new contract tells the story. I get the sense he felt like he was a little more responsible for the Cheifs' success than he actually was. Success can lead to unjustified arrogance in some people, which can lead to problems. That very well could be what we've witnessed.
