WichitaZRide 321 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Regardless of how our offseason plays out, I’m of the opinion that if EB doesn’t get a HC gig this time around that it’s time to cut him loose. I wanted to get everyone else’s thoughts. I feel this way for multiple reasons. First, I’m a firm believer that he’s been behind the playcalling during a majority of the games this season that we’ve struggled. I think Andy is trying his hardest to get his buddy a job and put the team at risk to do so. Second, his contest is already up after this season. He would be free to join any of the teams that are changing coaching staffs as there will be multiple openings. I don’t have concerns about him finding work. Lastly, I think if he seriously wants to get out from under Andy Reid’s shadow he needs a fresh start with another organization. One where his contribution won’t be questioned and he can put his personal stamp on things. What say you, kingdom? oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Will never happen. I actually thinks he gets a gig this year. Too many openings. Regardless, we won’t fire him. That is not Andy’s way. Shoot we held onto Sutton for too long and he was terrible! EB has done nothing remotely close to that. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I agree, I don't believe EB will go anywhere if he's not hired for a HC job. On the play calling, this is something I thought about during the SB loss, but didn't mention it. I'm not totally sure we're right about that, but who knows. Being a running back coach I would assume EB would be running the ball more, if he were in total control of the play-calling. One thing for sure, that hasn't been mentioned much is, the Chiefs have had some really good success with RB's since he's been here. They run tough and physical.

Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I agree as I don’t think Reid will let him go if he does not find a gig somewhere else. I 100% agree about the play calling. I believe this happened in Pitt game last week. I sure hope he is not calling plays from here on out. he must bring some value to our RB as mentioned.

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Everytime someone talks about keeping or losing EB, my mind flashes to Eric Berry. Andy isn’t letting EB go unless EB wants to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I like EB, but it’s probably better for the team to lose him because of the picks. Andy is the architect of this offense and it continues down the same path regardless of what OC comes or goes. I don’t think he will get let go but it would probably be better for his career to prove himself elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,209 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Not sure how you guys figure out who is calling certain plays, but I'm confident that Andy has final say and thus the responsibility. EB's best chance to win a HC job is if the Chiefs lose tomorrow If they go on to the SB, most/all the slots will be filled. If a team wants him badly enough, they might wait, but the chances are reduced. Hope he gets a job, but not expecting it if the Chiefs keep winning. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure being able to call plays should carry as much weight as it seems to, but the fact is, it does for some teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m a gm, I’ve definitely got pause about EB bc Andy’s last two offensive assistants that got head jobs are both unemployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I’d take Pederson or Nagy back, but there’s a perception problem in terms of assistants coming out of here due to the lack of overall success between the two of them, justified or not. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh he also has the best coaching tree out of all the current head coaches oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Not sure if EB gets a job but I doubt they'll cut him. It's more likely that he goes back to college and we promote someone like Kafka but doesn't look like anyone likes EB as a NFL HC material.
