ANDY Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are eyeing a division rival coach.
The Chiefs are reportedly showing interest in a coach who has a connection with a top 2026 NFL Draft prospect.
Kansas City is ready to have plenty of coach turnover next season, following a disastrous 6-11 season.
And Reid and company are reportedly interested in a familiar coach.
The Chiefs have requested an interview with Las Vegas Raiders running back coach Deland McCullough, per ESPN.
The 53-year-old is being considered for the same position in Chiefs Kingdom, the outlet added.
McCullough joined the Raiders ahead of this season and got to work with No. 6 overall pick Ashton Jeanty.
However, he also has experience coaching Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love, who is a projected first-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Love is projected be a top-10 selection, and the Chiefs hold the No. 9 overall pick.
The 20-year-old is coming off a season in which he was a Heisman Trophy finalist.
Love recorded 1,372 rushing yards, 280 receiving yards, and 21 total touchdowns.
He could be a fit for the Chiefs, who have a need at running back.
McCullough has a history with Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, both of whom he worked under from 2018 to 2020.
Bieniemy has returned to Kansas City after leaving the franchise in 2023.
He was the team’s offensive coordinator for six seasons and helped guide Patrick Mahomes to win two Super Bowls.
Bienemy will hope to rejuvenate a Chiefs offense that struggled mightily in 2025, posting unimpressive marks in numerous stats, including yards per game (320.6).
He hopes to have Patrick Mahomes back for Week 1 after the two-time MVP tore his ACL and LCL in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
