It looks like Andy Reid will bring Heckert, Childress & Shurmur with him to KC. Count me in. #Chiefs (Cleveland PD) --bit.ly/S6MZUH

The Andy Reid debate all comes down to one factor. If it was simply that he was just in Philly for too long, then it would be a good hire.

Kansas City, do not hire Andy Reid. You've already experienced Marty Schottenheimer...no need to do this again.

Meanwhile, here's what Twitter users in the Phoenix area are saying after Reid pushed back his interview with the Cardinals.

I hope he stays in KC. The last thing the Cardinals need is a burned out legend as a coach. espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Andy Reid is just too much drama and too damn expensive. He had a damn all-star team! Couldn’t make it work.

The Cardinals now must significantly improve their offer, or move away from Andy Reid. Not easy for Arizona if they really like Reid.
