People change and Reid is a pretty smart and football savvy guy. I think it's pretty obvious why he brought in Ault and Childress - to change up his Edwards west coast system and modernize it with a spread/pistol wrinkle. And having a guy like Smith, who excelled in such a system in college, only reiterates that he's going to make such changes.
I have absolutely no idea why you continue to think that because Reid ran a Lavell Edwards system in Philly during his time their that he won't/can't make changes to that system now in KC. Everything he's done points to it.
Perhaps it's your own inflexibility that's manifesting itself in your thought process.

So we hire a guy, who by all reports, is the best HC we've had in KC since Marty, is an offensive guru etc, and we immediately want him to come in a change what he's done to make him so successful?
I have no idea why I would think a guy who's ran a system for 10 plus years would come in and implement a similar system. I'm crazy I guess.
