Mellinger Minutes: all the Chiefs emotions, plus Royals, tacos and busted pipes

In terms of job security, Andy Reid picked the perfect time to collapse in a playoff game (again).

He signed a contract extension less than a year ago, a power move in which the experienced general manager who had ties to Reid was fired and replaced by an inexperienced GM who once worked as Reid’s intern.

He also will almost certainly replace an experienced handpicked quarterback with a 22-year-old, second-year, awesomely talented handpicked quarterback for the 2018 season. His top assistant was just hired to be the Bears’ coach.

He works for a chairman who values stability over everything else, and he has replaced one of the most drama-filled, unstable periods of any major sports franchise in recent memory with four postseasons in five years.
