The "Andy Reid Factor" that people refer to is the theory that Any Reid is an offensive genius and the true mastermind behind KC's offensive success. The bolded names were defensive/special teams coaches with Reid and therefore aren't affected by this factor. The failure of the other names to be successful head coaches(DP being the only exception) is what leads people to believe the Andy Reid Factor could be major reason why EB isn't getting a chance.
Yep. We know that we need to give a ton of credit for KC's success to Mahomes, Reid and the GM. It's hard to convince me that any offensive coach able to build a good relationship with Mahomes wouldn't look awesome as the OC there. Therefore, for EB to get a HC job he has to nail the interview and convince the team that he's the man by laying out a compelling vision. Doesn't appear he's been able to do that, but he's gotten more than enough interview practice at this point that there's no excuse not to nail them.
He's obviously not answering the questions to project what he needs to, though. Whatever that is, he's missing the mark.
No neither was ready and the situation was a disaster.
New Bears GM came from KC. Didn’t hire EB as HC. Called previous KC colleague in Indy. Got somebody from their staff.

If Miami tanked games or he was induced to tank games, the criminal laws about point shaving could come into play.Shoould be interesting. Flores says he was told before interview that position had been filled.
Brian Flores sues NFL, Giants, Dolphins for alleged racial discrimination
Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against the team, NFL, and New York Giants for alleged racial discrimination on Tuesday.
add: on ESPN, Fores said he hoped others would join his lawsuit. EB?
I dont know anything about point shaving laws but wouldnt the dolphins need to have bet on the games and then win those bets due to the point shaving? Sorry for my ignorance.
It’s a good point. I’ll look. That’s why I say “could”.
so how many of EB's interviews have been the shams described by Flores?Shoould be interesting. Flores says he was told before interview that position had been filled.

Honestly, I think the only mark he's missing is more time as a coordinator. There's always going to be Sean mcvay, Matt rhule, and mike tomlin like coaches who get hired with little cfb head coach or nfl/cfb coordinator experience but there's just as many who put in 5+ years as a coordinator before getting their chance. EB has 6 total with 4 at the pro level. Will I be surprised if he doesn't get the chance within 3 years? Absolutely. Am I surprised he isn't a coach already? The nfl is as cutthroat as it gets, so no, not really
Point shaving to assist gambling is a federal crime. Netflix has a "Bad Sport" episode about the 1994 ASU point shaving scandal, with people going tp prison. That whole series, I thought was great. The marijuana guy was incredible. I don't know what law would apply, if an owner was paying to throw games - he wanted them to outright lose, winning by a smaller margin wouldn't get you in a better draft position. A season ticket holder might start a class-action for fraud, etc
I think you are right. I read law. It has to go with gambling which was not at play in alleged Miami case, nor now the alleged Cleveland case.
Criminal consequences and integrity of the richest sports league in the world consequences are separate. Even if Ross’ behavior wasn’t designed to bolster a gambling operation’s position, a) it is irrelevant because game integrity comes into question and b) it looks bad because he is tied to a sports betting operation as an investor.
Sounds like Flores was fired because he’s an ***hole...his players and assistant coaches didn’t like him.
“There were plenty of players who liked and admired Flores, and let’s be clear about that. But his arrogance and bristling personality rubbed some the wrong way. A close associate of multiple young Dolphins said the players complained to him that ‘he doesn’t understand dealing with men. He’s not approachable.’ When Flores saw one young player in recent months, he told him: ‘Don’t come to my office talking about playing time.’ The player had no such intentions. But multiple sources said he treated players different ways; a veteran such as Jason McCourty wouldn’t be treated with that same heavy hand. ‘He was stern with some but joked around with some guys,’ the source said. ‘It was hard to read him.’”
You just described 99% of coaches. He treats the young players different from vets. Oh the horror!!
Yep. Everyone should be treated fairly, but not everyone should be treated the same.
So you’re contention is that the giants called Bill Belicik to tell him who they were hiring? Before anyone else knew? My guess is Bill probably heard that or assumed that but either way unless the giants directly told him with a paper trail i don’t know how you prove it.
He's originally from Louisiana, right? That helps.
Really hope that EB gets a chance to show what he can do.
NFC South is wide open, so I don't think the Saints job is that bad of a situation. As long as you believe in the GM and ownership, I think you eagerly take that opportunity.
