Welcome to the Super Bowl of familiarity, right up to the top of the food chain.
But Chiefs general manager Brett Veach worked for the Eagles from 2004-12. He served as a scout from 2010-12 before leaving for Kansas City with Reid. Eagles GM Howie Roseman saw Veach work up-close in those years and remains a fan.
Roseman recalled one instance when Veach’s enthusiasm was evident before he was even asked a question.Brett Veach while with the Eagles“I think it was the 2012 draft where we called him into the draft room,” Roseman said. “He was our Southeast scout. We called him into the draft room and he just said, ‘Take him.’ I said, ‘Veach, I didn’t even ask you what player we’re talking about right now.’ He’s that kind of guy.”Brian Daboll is 5-0 in Super Bowls as a Patriots assistant coach.
One thing on Daboll’s mind this week is the Cardinals and Colts’ head-coach searches. Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale is expected to get a third interview with the Colts, while offensive coordinator Mike Kafka’s odds of taking over the Cardinals seem to be increasing. Brian Flores was hired as Vikings defensive coordinator, leaving Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and Kafka as the only known finalists in Arizona.
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire was activated from IR after missing the last nine games with an ankle injury. Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon have been carrying the load for the Chiefs with Edwards-Helaire on the sideline.
