Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is in danger of losing one of his right-hand men

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs could be in danger of losing one of the more important coaches on their offensive staff, and yet, he’s very deserving of the potential promotion.

Chiefs in danger of losing Dan Williams to NFC West foe

According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the Arizona Cardinals are requesting to interview the Chiefs’ assistant quarterbacks coach, Dan Williams. He’s been the assistant QB coach for the last three seasons and is considered a rising offensive coach in league circles, as he was the National Team’s Wide Receivers coach for the Senior Bowl just last week.

With a guy like Williams, it’s only a matter of time before he gets a job as a QB coach, even if the Cardinals don’t choose him. If Arizona does hire Williams, Mahomes is losing one of his right-hand men.

Williams just finished his seventh season with the Chiefs, spending his last three helping out Mahomes and Chiefs QB coach David Girardi. He’s been a vital part of Mahomes process as a quarterback the last three years. While this last season wasn’t Mahomes’ best, the former Super Bowl MVP still leaned on Williams a lot, along with Girardi.

The Chiefs could replace Williams if he were to be hired. However, that’s not something they really want to have to do. Maintaining continuity for Mahomes is important, especially with the coaches he works with most. There is already going to be a change of offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy, and changing his assistant QB coach could be a good or bad thing.

Then again, head coach Andy Reid is a huge fan of giving guys on his staff better opportunities to get promoted elsewhere, if they can’t within the franchise. He fought for the idea that Matt Nagy and Bieniemy should be head coaches somewhere else, and when Bieniemy made a bit of a lateral move a few years ago, he was on board for that as well.

The Chiefs would wish Williams well in his new endeavors, but that wouldn’t be a very easy position to replace, at least not as easy as you’d think.
