I don't think coaches change their stripes. I think they are who they are. Now, I don't think he's going to ask Smith to chuck it downfield a ton, but he needs to run the same offense that was successful early in his career in Philly.

Well... Reid is a West Coast Offense guy. But look at what he's doing.
He brought in Alex Smith and Chase Daniel and wasted no expense to get these guys. Both these guys are ideal for a more read option oriented offense. He brought in Chris Ault to coach the pistol and Brad Childress, whose only job is to consult on the spread.
I don't know how much of a spread or pistol he will run. But it seems like he's sending a pretty clear signal that he's planning to change his stripes, and it seems like he picked a QB to run his new offense (versus picking an offense that can be run by his new QB).
