KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs spent much of
yesterday in negotiations for Reid to become the Chiefs’ coach, a person
familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The discussions followed
nine hours of talks Wednesday that went well enough that Reid canceled plans to
interview for other openings, the person told the AP. The Philadelphia Eagles
fired Reid after 14 seasons on Monday, the same day the Chiefs parted ways with
coach Romeo Crennel after the worst season in franchise history.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) _ Penn State football coach Bill O’Brien is staying
put. His agent says O’Brien garnered interest from several NFL teams but won’t
pursue those opportunities. The agent adds that O’Brien’s experience from Penn
State’s 8-4 season in his first year outweighed the potentially big raise he
could have received as an NFL head coach.
