We definitely have the guys to do it very well and there's obviously interest in the coaching staff to test it.

The personnel the Chiefs currently have are damn near perfect for the system that Reid has run in the past and Smith brings in the experience of a very successful spread system QB under Urban Meyer in college. Couple that with the hiring of Chris Ault as a team consultant for the pistol and Brad Childress as the spread guy, you've got a very high level mix of guys who've been very successful in terms of their specific offenses.
Personally, I think you are going to see some pretty cool shit out of the Chiefs offensively this next season. This union of minds/coaches/players might actually end up being a paradigm shift in terms of NFL offensive conceptualizations, much in the same way as how Walsh's "West Coast" system was viewed. The potential is there anyway.
At the very minimum, it sure as shit isn't going to be Brian Daboll's play calling.
