Originally posted by KoolBeans:Reid and Harbaugh have something in common in that they both inherited teams with a lot more talent than their previous record indicated. Harbaugh inherited a roster that should have won at least 10 games the year before he came...but it didn't. Reid inherited a roster that had a lot of talent but lacked a competent QB. The rest of the talent was there. So he got Alex from the 49ers and BINGO!
What if we hired Reid instead of Harbaugh? Would he have had better success with our team considering how quickly he turned KC around? It seems like Harbaugh has a tough time against veteran coaches and Reid with his familiarity with them would have made the difference. The teams are so similar but it looks like Reid's offense is further along at this point than Harbaugh's after week 4.
I think Reid could have done something similar in SF if he had come here instead of Harbaugh, but that is all grist for another mill.
