Well, considering he was a QB (9 seasons), then a QB coach for both the Lions and Seattle (10 seasons), and was inducted into the Seahawks ring of Honor in 91 (meaning he was highly respected), and he never got the title or moved up, I'd say he wasn't groomed.
Why would you think for a second he was groomed?

Didn't say he was. In fact, he probably wasn't since he wasn't promised anything after Holmgren retires (which is why we got him in the first place), but I do remember reading that he was very involved in the game planning and play designs for the Seahawks offense. And I'm just saying the assistant head coach title may have been largely ceremonial for Reid

It's possible.
Putting Reid aside, who else has done this like Zorn? I know you have an encyclopedia or something with info like this.

Herm Edwards went from DB coach to head coach of the Jets and had them in the playoffs rather quickly..

all you have to do is go one page back to see we already talked about herm edwards was an asst. coach as well before, very similar to reid. So unless someone wants to mention reid or edwards again, who else?

They were 9-7 before he got there. His first year (2001) they were 10-6, next year they were 10-6, 2003 the were 6-10, 2004 they were 10-6, and his final year they were 4-12. 3 trips to the playoffs in 5 years.
In KC he's been 9-7 & 4-12.

I wouldn't complain with three trips to the playoffs in the next five years. He was however, the DB coach & assistant HC in TB.
