    The first call that Andy Reid received came from Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt.

    Reid had just been dismissed after coaching the Eagles for 14 seasons, and was back at his office after addressing his team one last time. The phone rang and Hunt was on the other end, asking whether Reid would be interested in a face-to-face meeting two days later.

    "There are certain families that stand out, and the Hunt family is just tops," Reid said of the family that founded the franchise 53 years ago. "They're phenomenal."

    The meeting was set for Wednesday in Philadelphia, and Reid's agent Bob LaMonte figured it would take about three hours. But when Reid got in front of Hunt, the two hit it off so well that time kept slipping away -- four hours, then six, then eight hours of conversations.
