Reports: Andy Reid could be the Arizona Cardinals’ head coach by the end of the week

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...zona-cardinals-head-coach-224644721--nfl.html

As first reported by Phoenix station KTVK-TV and confirmed by several NFL insiders, former Philadelphia Eagles head coach could replace Ken Whisenhunt as the Arizona Cardinals' head coach as early as the end of the week. Both Reid and Whisenhunt were fired on Monday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter cited team and league sources in following up that first report, and CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora is hearing very much the same thing. One source told Schefter that he's "95 percent" certain that Reid will get the job.

According to Schefter, the Cardinals are trying to fast-track the process. Cardinals VP of media operations Mark Dalton said on Twitter that current defensive coordinator Ray Horton interviewed for the position on Tuesday, and that no meeting is yet set for Reid. The Cards might also talk with Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. Though Horton's defense was the team's lone bright spot in 2012, and he may be in line for one or more open positions around the league, it's worth noting that the interview will also keep the franchise on the right side of the Rooney Rule.

Brian - Old news (by today's standards).

You can look at the various reports cited in the article in many different ways. My take is that most of its final paragraph tends to support the latest common view that the media probably jumped the gun on Reid.

Ergo the title of this thread (i.e. that Reid COULD be named HC by week's end) may be technically OK but is a tad misleading.

You misspelled Mike Sherman.
