The question on everyone's mind after Brad Childress was named a Chiefs coach on Thursday was "What exactly is a spread game analyst/special projects coach?"

Or, put another way, "What will Brad Childress be doing for Chiefs head coach Andy Reid?"

Great question.

Essentially, coach Childress will research and assist with the scouting and recruiting of the draft eligible players, prior to the April 25-27 event.

He will also conduct thorough research on the spread offense, benefitting not just the offense but also helping the Chiefs defense.

In addition to recruiting and researching, coach will also take on several other projects to benefit head coach Reid and his entire staff, with the collective goal in mind, winning.
