My first reaction was a combination of surprise, disappointment and resentment, pretty much in that order.
I was surprised that he made this decision without there at least being active rumors swirling that he was coming back to New England. Then I was disappointed in the same and finally I resented that we would have to go another year without the benefit of a premier OC.
But when I thought about it, it makes complete sense for Weis. If he'd come to Foxboro, he would have always been competing with himself and what he accomplished here. He is a genius at developing young, talented QB's and in KC he's teaming up with a Personnel genius who will listen very seriously to what he has to say.
I'll leave it to others to speculate on whether New England was not big enough for both Belichick and Weis as well as on whether BB is motivated by showing he can win an SB without Weis. My guess is "maybe" on the former and "I don't think so" on the latter.
But the main reason I think he didn't come here is that he's 53 and probably hopes to move up to be an HC in no more than three years; since BB shows no signs of retiring, it would have meant that he would have had to leave "again."
And, as an afterthought, I wondered at first whether Todd Haley might start to feel added pressure to succeed with Weis in the wings. But, then I reflected that the Chief's success would be a classic "Win-Win" for both Weis and Haley, as they clearly have significant mutual self-interest at the heart of their relationship; plus, I guess they already know each other pretty well.
