Coaching News From Around the League

[jayviabay]

O'Brien accepted the PSU job, but continued to coach the Pats through the Super Bowl.

Thats right, I stand corrected.

But he did that coming off the gates though which would be normal or the "initiation" of becoming of HC. Not every coach candidate could chose where to go when being a HC. But with Reid's distinguish resume and experience, I would think he would do himself better by going to a team with less rebuild to it.

He's not in his 50s, or 40s where he could take the time to build up his program/team, I would think he would go off to a club where the pieces are there but the injection of a solid scheme/coach is needed.

So you think he SHOULD go to a place with more pieces in place because he can write his own ticket. Ok, I probably wouldn't have responded had you written that instead of:

"that's TOO much of a rebuild IMO for him. He needs a more established team or a team with not too many holes."

Not sure which HC openings have more pieces in place than KC, maybe CHI? KC has the hardest piece to figure out still remaining, QB, but has more pieces in place than the other openings, imo.

Anyway, thanks for clarifying.

it was O'Brien with the patriots at the time in regards to the Penn State job

i heard a more recent instance for this playoffs.

but good for him, i would want my coordinators(O/D) to be team first.

I know its about job opportunities and what not, but team first!

I can only imagine how excited KC is about Andy Reid.

Idk, i think KC has a lot more holes than pieces. Charles isn't the same but that's not to say he couldn't be good again. Their OL isn't something to brag IIRC, outside of Bowe(who's not that great IMHO), there's no threat in the WR department.

Defensively, i could see more substance and solid players but nothing that's must haves or could be potentials.

I would think Chicago, AZ(they blew it, poorous OL etc... but I feel they have more pieces, or maybe more established pieces to work with), SD have more to work with for Reid.

Chargers' brass is traveling to the East Coast today to conduct a handful of GM interviews. Only interview they had so far was Jimmy Raye.

I disagree with the bolded. I think you could make a case for SD and CHI.

Albert Breer:

Chargers plan is to get GM in place, have him be part coaching search. No coach interviews yet. Could do 1 or 2 while they're on East Coast.

Was it the OC in ATL?

Jason La Canfora: Chargers have interviewed just Jimmy Raye for their GM job but are hitting the road to talk to other candidates...

Jason La Canfora: Others candidates include Gamble (SF), Caldwell (ATL), Keim (AZ), Ross (NYG), Telesco (IND). SD high on Arians and O'Brien among HC options

Jeremiah Trotter on Reid- "I love Reid as a man, but if the talent was equal, we'd lose bc he was outcoached. We'd question him as a defense

Sheeeeeeesh. Another solid name being discussed. I've never seen an offseason where so many solid men are getting job interviews.

Dang!

Albert Breer: Also, word around the campfire is that Steve Keim remains the favorite, as he has been all along, to be elevated to GM in Arizona.

Andy Reid on verge of agreement with Kansas City Chiefs -- sources - ESPN

While Reid has a warm relationship with Pioli, sources said it is highly unlikely that the former Eagles coach will build his front office with the Chiefs' GM on board if the deal gets done with Hunt. The same sources insist Reid did not demand that former Browns GM Tom Heckert had to be a package deal as the team's future general manager because he still wants to gauge whether John Dorsey, the Packers' director of operations, would consider the position of GM, the sources added.

Cleveland Browns' interview with Oregon's Chip Kelly expected to take place Friday | cleveland.com

If the Browns' interview with Kelly goes well, they'll be prepared to make him an offer he can't refuse. They've already satisfied the Rooney Rule by interviewing Horton -- who described his interview with the Browns to the Arizona Republic as "fantastic" -- and having nothing standing in their way.
