Reid Chiefs agreement in principal.

[The King]

Schefter just reported that Reid didn't fly out to AZ last night as planned? Does this mean they're locking down Horton?

[Albany,n.y.]

It's more indicative that Reid is going to KC. Mort said on ESPN radio that he expects Reid to go to KC. He said KC would be easier for Reid to have more control over everything because as he called it Arizona has more clutter in their organizational structure than KC does.

[HAMMER]

I also think Reid sees Geno Smith as his new Donovan McNabb.

[Wolffman]

It is definitely enticing to be able to have the #1 pick.

Andy Reid tells Chiefs he and Tom Heckert a package deal

Andy Reid has told the Kansas City Chiefs that he's a package deal with former Cleveland Browns general manager Tom Heckert, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported, citing a source with knowledge of Reid's pitch.

If Reid is hired and brings along Heckert as he hopes, it would almost certainly mean the end of current GM Scott Pioli's tenure with the Chiefs.

Reid and Heckert previously worked together with the Philadelphia Eagles.

One things for sure, he's not coming here. Doubt he even gets an interview.

Looks like Ried is going to KFC.

[Mr. Pink]

I feel bad for the Chiefs if they're getting Heckert.

[Mr. Miyagi]

So having just fired Romeo Crennel counts as satisfying the Rooney Rule?

[Ingtar33]

sounds like Reid is a lock in KC, they aren't firing Pioli either... not sure how they're gonna work it out.

pioli becomes a russ brandon type who moves into a CEO role, perhaps?

but i thought word on pioli is that he was also on the hot seat....guy is apparently a real cooky guy with all sorts of wierd protocols at the stadium/facilities.

Dont you know? NFL rules are made to be broken :meh: I'm sure they'll find a loophole somewhere.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Perhaps they "interviewed" him on his way out the door.

Pioli: "Sorry about this Romeo, but did you happen to take a few sleeves of printer paper with you? Looks like we're missing some."
Crennel: "F you man."
Pioli: "OK then. Nice interviewing with you. Later dude."

They interviewed Keith Armstrong ST coach of Atlanta-Rooney Rule already satisfied-Reid can sign any time they agree.

The Rooney Rule is stupid.

What a sham. At least interview Lovie or Horton.

[YardRat]

Good...I hope he does get Smith off the board at #1.

[The King]

Officially canclled meeting with Cards

[Mr. Pink]

Good...I hope he does get Smith off the board at #1.

Could be smoke and mirrors but if Pioli stays, Glennon might be the pick. Pioli allegedly is enamored with Glennon.

[ServoBillieves]

What a sham. At least interview Lovie or Horton.

Why? If you don't want them as head coaches, you interview whoever to satisfy the rule. "We want Andy Reid, but he isn't black or hispanic, so damn... we should bring in a high profile guy and waste his time."

Arizona is going after Todd Haley. Steelers have granted permission to Cards for an interview. To quote a Pittsburgh reporter who talked to Haley yesterday noon - "Haley said he was surprised they (Cardinals) haven't contacted him yet." Strong ties to the Cards owner Bidwell.

And we think things are bad around here. Imagine if you're a fan of the Cardinals?

They're actually downgrading if they hire Haley.

[ghz in pittsburgh]

What I heard is that Todd Haley really believes that he has some Bill Parcells in him. Very abrasive personality. During his time as OC for the Cardinals, he would call Fitzgerald out in front of the team that he's a one trick pony (deep ball catcher). Similar kind of issue with Baldwin at the Chiefs (who by the way won't be available now Reid is in charge). And it is well documented things are not smooth between him and Roethlisberger. He had one successful year at KC. Who knows, if he has more success, maybe he will be a new Parcells.
