http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8809040/andy-reid-verge-agreement-kansas-city-chiefs-sourcesAndy Reid close to Chiefs deal The Kansas City Chiefs are on the verge of a deal to make Andy Reid their next head coach, according to league sources. There still are minor details to work out but after nine hours of meetings Wednesday, one source involved in the talks said "the major issues have been discussed and agreed upon." One source close to Reid said this morning, "This is going to happen fast." The two sides spent the day Wednesday meeting at a private airport in the Philadelphia area. Reid had been scheduled to fly to Arizona to speak to Cardinals officials about their head coaching opening, but talks progressed with the Chiefs to the point where no hangups are expected. The Chiefs' contingent of officials included owner Clark Hunt, general manager Scott Pioli, executive Ryan Petkoff and president Mark Donovan, who used to work in Philadelphia with Reid. By the end of the day, the expectation amongst the parties in attendance was that a deal would be wrapped up. One assistant coach aligned with Reid even texted Thursday morning that he is going to Kansas City, not Arizona. Once the deal is finalized, the next question in Kansas City will shift to the future of Pioli. Reid is expected to want to bring his own personnel men to Kansas City, which does not bode well for the future of Pioli. Reid worked in Philadelphia with former Browns general manager Tom Heckert, who is expected to be one candidate. Reid also is best friends with Packers director of football operations John Dorsey, who has interviewed for other general managers in the past. The Chiefs fired Romeo Crennel Monday after a 2-14 season. Happy he's not going to the Cardinals lol

0-16 can't be outdone by the lions, but the raiders will give it a shot anyways.

@Jeff_McLane: Wow. Heisman to Childress/Shurmur. RT @RoobCSN: I hear good chance Doug Pederson will be Andy's offensive coordinator & Matt Nagy QBs coach.

its a smart move.

I wish we would have done that in 05. Could have got several extra picks and still got AS

No one wanted our number 1 pick...out of all years there wasn't truly a number 1 prospect
