If he's making $1M per year (NFL average) that's not a bad dead-end job. I'd only leave it if I felt like I was making a move with a decently high probability of success. Washington's QB room would disqualify them if it were me.

Thing is he’s capped here. How many teams are out there that have a good QB and offensive skill positions and no offensive minded HC? If he’s content being a career OC then staying in KC is not a bad gig. If he’s looking to be a HC he has to go someplace like Washington. Their QB situation isn’t ideal but they are not devoid of talent on the offense.

I just get the impression that Andy's not the type to have "lifetime" gigs on his coaching staff. He likes the churn and the influx of new talent.

Sure, EB would have an easy road with just staying here and staying put but I'm not at all convinced at this point that it's what the Chiefs and Andy Reid want.

Absolutely. Problem is EB is the coordinator no one wants. As such Andy is in a weird spot. Normally his coaches get hired elsewhere which allows him to bring in new talent. With EB, letting him walk without a job and especially after a dominating offensive performance in a SB is horrible PR. Keeping him prevents Andy from promoting someone else.

I would bet Andy is just fine with Spags being in the lifetime DC role.

Oh yeah, but that's a little different since Spags isn't an offensive coach.
