What will Andy Reid's new coaching staff look like with the Kansas City Chiefs?

Andy Reid will be or has been hired by the Kansas City Chiefs ... even if the Kansas City Chiefs aren't saying that.

Yet.

But Reid is already literally in the building. If this doesn't happen then it would be a train wreck of epic proportions.

So, the Reid deal is about to get done and now we want to know who will be on his coaching staff. The usual rounds of candidates have been thrown out there -- mostly guys he's worked with before. Dot-connecting type of stuff.

It seems there's not one person on the Chiefs current coaching staff who should feel safe right now.

I don't have a good read on who actually is and isn't a candidate to be on Reid's new staff but here's the whirlwind of rumors and reports...

(Update: Couple more rumors on Brad Childress and Doug Pederson here.)

How about Pat Shurmur?

@eric_edholm @corkonthenfl Sounds like Reid wants Pat Shurmur to follow him...

I think this is right. Heard more than Childress. RT @rapsheet: @eric_edholm @corkonthenfl Sounds like Reid wants Pat Shurmur to follow him.

How about Shurmur AND Childress?

Reid also likely to hire -- or try to -- former #Browns HCShurmur and former #Browns OC Childress in KC. espn says he's on verge of deal.

Or he could just hire them all.

Andy Reid will have a host of options to pick from with his staff. Many expect Shurmur (OC), Castillo (OL), Childress perhaps as QB coach

Maybe not ALL of them.

Andy reid has talked to 4 coaches bout coming w him. Doug Pederson is highest profile. Eagles won't let Duce Staley leave. J castillo going

Well, we all know it won't be Morty Mornhinweg.

Think I saw this already but Marty Mornhinweg won't follow Andy Reid to KC. Hear he has about 4 other options as OC.

Gimme another name. Monte Kiffin? Sure!

I won't be shocked if Monte Kiffin lands in KC as DC.

Mentioned this yesterday. It's very real. RT @movethesticks: I won't be shocked if Monte Kiffin lands in KC as DC.

Mel Tucker is another new one.

So if Jags wanted to prevent allowing, say, DC Mel Tucker to interview for coordinator jobs (and I'd bet KC would be interested) they could

If you can decipher this...

Coach reid wants to take w. Pederson,castillo(but balt wants 2),brazier (DL),Culley,E.Chung,M.nagy,T.Williams,burkholder,and strenght ch

And this ... well this is just too funny now:

Wonder if Brad Childress will be part of Andy Reid's coaching staff if Reid does take the Cardinals job?
