According to ESPN, the Chiefs are on the verge of a deal with Andy Reid.

Reid never even made it to Arizona. Instead, he's expected to take over a Chiefs team that went to the playoffs in 2010 but has gone 9-23 since then. They do have building blocks in place with dominant pass rusher Tamba Hali, a true top corner in Brandon Flowers, a strong offensive line and the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft. Reid will likely take over complete control of football operations, meaning GM Scott Pioli's role will at least be marginalized. He could end up being replaced by Reid's old friend from Philadelphia, Tom Heckert. Although Reid is known for running a pass-happy West Coast offense, his arrival would be good news for the unique talents of Jamaal Charles. Reid doesn't use committee backfields and knows how to get his running backs in space -- especially as receivers. Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy became stars under Reid.-Rotoworld

Did the Chiefs pull some sort of Bob Diaco interception of Ishaq Williams from Penn State type of move on Andy Reid from Cardinals?

 

[ShawneeIrish]

Shocked that the Chiefs seem to have made a good hire. I have never been a big Reid fan, but hes certainly a capable coach and better than what I expected from KC.

 

[phork]

KC arranged for Reids flight to have a stop over in KC. The rest is history.

Cleveland Browns have interviewed Penn State's Bill O'Brien, Syracuse's Doug Marrone, Plain Dealer has learned; Friday: Oregon's Chip Kelly | cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Browns interviewed Penn State coach Bill O'Brien for their head coach vacancy this week, a league source told The Plain Dealer today. They also interviewed Syracuse coach Doug Marrone on Thursday in Arizona,
a league source confirmed for The Plain Dealer.

Up next for the Browns is Oregon coach Chip Kelly on Friday in Arizona, the source confirmed. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner are conducting the interviews.

The fact that Marrone's interview took place today was first reported by ESPN's Chris Mortensen. He also reported that the Browns interviewed former Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt on Thursday.

O'Brien, the Big Ten coach of the Year, led the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky child-sexual-abuse scandal. Previously, he was offensive coordinator of the Patriots, and helped guide them to the Super Bowl last season.

Marrone, 48, has gone 25-25 in his four seasons at Syracuse, including 8-5 this season. But the Orangemen finished the season on a 6-1 roll and defeated West Virginia, 38-14, in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Saturday.

Marrone has six years' NFL experience, including three as offensive coordinator with the New Orleans Saints from 2006 to 2008.

In 2008, the Saints led the NFL in total offense, with 401.6 yards per game; and in passing offense with 304.2 yards per game. In each of Marrone's three seasons as coordinator, quarterback Drew Brees passed for more than 4,000 yards.

The Eagles and Bills, who are all vying for the same candidates, are all expected to interview Marrone, O'Brien and Kelly. Marrone is close friends with O'Brien from their coaching days at Georgia Tech. Their wives were college roommates, and their families vacation together.

The Browns and Bills are both scheduled to interview Kelly on Friday, with the Eagles also talking to him either tomorrow or over the next couple of days.

First, Kelly will play in the Fiesta Bowl tonight against Kansas State. Then the mad scramble for him begins.

Not good for Penn State fans that O'Brien is interviewing
