Let get REALLY wild in our speculation. How about Chiefs win the super bowl, Andy Reid announces his retirement completely shocking the football world, Bienemy becomes the new HC, and Nagy stays as his OC ready to take over if Bienemy fails. He wont be FIRED. He and the team will announce that EB is moving on to seek new opportunities with the team's blessings and they wish him the best. He's not under contract after this month anyway. None of us know what the relationship is between Reid, Mahomes, and EB. But Nagy didn't come to the Chiefs to remain without a meaningful title. I think Diehard has it exactly right. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, but none of us really know. Nagy might have come to be OC in anticipation that EB would be signed as HC for someone this season. Reid has obvously been very vocal about EB's qualifications and pissed that no one hired him the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's betting that Reid has a good handle on whether teams are serious about hiring EB as a head coach. He may be disappointed, but probably not surprised. Reid has a connection in nearly every NFL organization. West 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I don't think he has any chance of being our HC if Andy retires. I'm not sure Mahomes loves him....i could be way off but they seem to but heads and don't see eye to eye. I also wonder if Mahomes respects him. After Kelce came out and all but said Andy Reid is the one calling the plays and basically EB us the relay man which seems redundant. Mahomes is always begging the plays to come in faster which is slowed down by that added relay. Maybe its nothing and it very well could be nothing but I don't think Mahomes would want that. I think he would be more in the Nagy as HC camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I think Mahomes respects him, but if there is frustration, it is because Mahomes is a gunslinger, wants to win by passing, is great at it, and wants to make more decisions. EB loves the running game, and I have agreed that we need to run more, but I can't argue with the results. Mahomes has gotten better by listening more and trying to balance his game. But yes, I think he and EB butt heads sometimes. And they should sometimes. Andy Reid would not risk his reputation and credibility by touting somebody for a HC who he actually thinks would make his own recommendation look silly. I trust EB, because Andy Reid says he is a fine HC prospect. Lamardirts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really looked at it from the coaching perspective but Reid has always been a players' coach so I wouldn't be surprised if he values his staff's progression than his own reputation.

oldtimer 8,686 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 lots of buzz about the Commanders wanting him for OC...not so much about the Colt's HC job tho BUT THEN they have not hired an HC either should be an interesting week after the SB. Tenn has their new OC so the losing EB or Nagy to them are off the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not holding my breath but I did find it odd they interviewed him and no one really knew about it until a good bit after the fact iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
