Reid is a hands on coach with a great relationship with his players. I think its evident that he genuinely loves his job. Some head coaches, even the incredibly successful ones, seem almost miserable. That’s not Reid, he exudes a positive vibe that I believe has been contagious in the KC locker room. A big part of what he loves about his job is running the offense. He’s an offensive mastermind that is an expert at figuring out how to attack other teams.

I just don’t see him spending all week coming up with that plan of attack and then stepping aside and letting someone else call the shots on game day. He tried it in Philly for a while and he didn’t like it. It’s the reason he was willing to give up his GM duties when he came to KC because he wanted to get back to being more involved on the coaching end and specifically calling plays on offense.

I get that Reid’s play calls can be frustrating at times, but Andy Reid is still a HUGE net positive for the Kansas City Chiefs. I believe that if Clark Hunt mandated that Reid give up the play calling as I’ve heard several fans suggest you take away some of that hands on enthusiasm that Reid has that has caused him to bond with this team and created a winning attitude in Kansas City. I don’t think you risk losing that or risk him wanting to go elsewhere just because you think he throws a few too many screen passes and wastes a time out here and there.

Now let’s talk public enemy number one in Kansas City, Alex Smith.
