Just thought this was a fun read for Chargers week. Why the San Diego Chargers Would Be Crazy to Hire Andy Reid ZACH KRUSEDECEMBER 29, 2012 Alex Trautwig/Getty Images Having already gone down the retread road with Norv Turner, the San Diego Chargers might be better off going after a younger, newer name at head coach instead of Andy Reid, who is reportedly interested in coaching in San Diego next season. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Reid's interest in becoming the next Chargers coach Saturday. Reid, who is likely to be fired by the Philadelphia Eagles after 14 years, would potentially be one candidate to replace Turner (who is also likely to be fired at the end of the season). From Florio: The Los Angeles native wants to coach the Chargers, according to a league source. Per the source, Reid is making his intentions known as he lines up a potential coaching staff... In November, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported a similar story. According to La Canfora, a fired Reid would have "considerable interest" in coaching the Chargers next season. Reid is a native of Southern California, has a gorgeous home on the beach in the San Diego area and is known to love the area. Plus, as some close to him note, the media and fan climate in San Diego is vastly different from the cauldron that he has worked in. Interest in Reid as the head coach, however, may only go one way. Given how close Reid and Turner are in style and track record, the Chargers may not want to bang their head on the same wall again with Reid. Turner, winner of 59 games (one playoff) in stints with the Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins, won 58 games (three playoff) in seven years with San Diego. Reid, in 14 years with Philadelphia, has 140 wins (10 playoff). However, both coaches have been—at various points in their careers—lauded as underachievers, and neither offensive mastermind has been able to deliver a Super Bowl title. Videos you might like While the resume for Reid obviously has more meat—almost three times the wins, five NFC title game appearances and a Super Bowl appearance—the potential hiring of Reid wouldn't do much to change the culture of football in San Diego. A younger, newer name might be the avenue San Diego is already approaching, according to NFL Network's Albert Breer. Reporting on NFL Network's Around the League Friday, Breer said that the interest between Reid and the Chargers may be a one-way street. Breer, via Kareem Copeland of NFL.com: The Chargers could be looking at some younger names. They've gone down the retread route in the past—Marty Schottenheimer, Norv Turner. If they are going to ax Turner as expected on Monday, they might not be as interested in Reid as Reid is in them. Don Banks of Sports Illustrated took the argument one step further, stating Thursday that the Chargers may look past Reid and toward a new name because of Reid's perceived price tag. Reid, with his Southern Californian roots, would seem a logical alternative in the coaching search, but his price tag might get in the way. League sources don't expect the Spanos family to pay the $6 to $7 million annual salary that Reid can command. Banks also mentioned Patriots offensive coordinator and former Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, Colts interim head coach Bruce Arians and Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael as potential targets for Chargers owners this offseason. Much can change and likely will before now and when the Chargers actually make their head-coaching fire-and-hire, but the fit for Reid only appears to work on his level. San Diego might eventually entertain the thought of giving Turner's old job to Reid, but going in a different direction could be the most beneficial decision for the Chargers. Hiring Reid is going back to too many of the same faults that got San Diego into this mess in the first place. qnet, oldtimer, Mloe68 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,424 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 IMO the majority of football fans are clueless and there is a small percentage that understand football pretty well. That holds true of Chiefs fans too. The comments from some of those old articles are hilarious. Must be newer fans who never lived through the Todd Haley years. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 That's all fun to read, especially the San Diego article. I will admit, when he was hired; I wasn't sure about Reid. I liked him as a coach looking from the outside, but had doubts after remembering talking to an Eagles fan in the grocery store. One of the positives I liked about him was how he studied all the Chiefs games before being hired. The Chiefs had tried everything else (young coaches, position coaches, managers retreads etc...) so what could it hurt? at least Clark Hunt was trying.

Player A is like player B of the past, or this team from this division beat a team from that division in the past, so the outcome for this game, years later with two totally different teams; may be similar. Makes no sense at all IMO. dhitter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
