Is he ready for the responsibility of coaching up Pat Mahomes?

Well he was Andy’s QB for 1 year and has had to learn multiple playbooks for a variety of teams. He was working with Pat a ton at camp and from what Reid said, he’s been working with him all year.

I think that’s why he was hired. I would like to see Chase Daniel signed if possible. His knowledge of Andy’s offense would be great thing for the development of Pat.

We can only hope he is allowed to.

Why would you people think that this OC promotion would be any indication, that after almost 20 years, Andy would all of a sudden change and start running the ball? Because it's the RB coach that got the promotion? Andy was suppose to change 5 years ago when he came to KC. He's still doing the same exact things he did in 1999 when he was hired in Philly. He will never change.

I am not bashing, but what you see with Andy is what you get. And there is no way a guy is going to kick his habits of 20 years of doing the same thing over and over. He's basically the NFL head coach equal to Bill Murray in Groundhogs Day every season since 1999.

Andy is the offensive coordinator.

They're gonna work hard and get this thing fixed, and it starts with Big Red.

Just ask him.

We've waited almost 30 years to acquire that ****ing basket and we don't want to wait another 30 years more because of the wrong OC hire.

Everyone is just cautious and for good measure. I'm not a fan of Bieniemy but I trust Reid. He's not going to let his hand picked messiah deteriorate in front of his very own eyes.

Did you even read the information on him above?

It reads like he just may have been around offenses for a while and wasn't forced to wear blinders.

Just because he was a RB doesn't mean he was quarantined from the rest of the offense.

This was the obvious move from the get go. Just like if Sutton does retire it will most likely be Al Harris that would become the DC.

Al Harris as DC would be a monumental leap for him, but in current circumstances I wouldnt be fired up and pissed off about it... everyone seems to want youngblood guys like Sean McVay these days

Is anyone going to tell me Harris is less qualified than McVay with a straight face?

Its time for some new energy, not only on this team, but in the NFL in general... Bienemy, Harris, and grand wizard Reid overseeing it all

I simply ask... why not?

Maybe I'm wrong, but lets hear the reasons why

Sutton is not going anywhere and if they are not offered enough for Smith he will be here next year as well.

Really don't love this move. Priority 1 is to develop the hell out of Mahomes and this is the first time in Andy Reid's 18 years that his offensive coordinator has no experience coaching QBs. And the guy coaching QBs is young and inexperienced. If they plan to backfill Childress with an experienced QB handler and passing game handler, fine. But if not... ugh, why now to have so little staff experience handling QBs?

I remember him when he played for San Diego and was Natrone Means' backup.

Childress retired yesterday.
