He's still a great coach who had just reached his shelf life in Philadelphia. As a bronco fan I wouldn't be happy if Reid went to KC.

I've always said he's a great coach, but awful at managing the game. I think his early success also had a lot to do with Jim Johnson and the defenses the Eagles had. Especially prior to 2004, the Eagles were built to win the turnover and field-position battles, which made life easier on the underskilled offense.
The other problem with Reid is that he's fiercely stubborn and just refuses to make in-game or in-season adjustments. You could see over the last 2-3 years that teams were ready for a lot of the Eagles' gameplans, and he never adapted or evolved.
EDIT: That being said, if I'm a Chiefs fans and it looks like my team is going to draft someone with a lot of raw athleticism but also several question marks (i.e. Geno Smith), then Reid is probably the right guy to try and mold him.
