If it's unknown, i would expect Fred to trust professionals over...regular people (including himself). At least that's the way he's gone in the past, iirc (trusting players and coaches over fans on a message board/analysts).
Anybody who's regarded highly enough to score NFL HC interviews is going to have a bunch of players and coaches speaking positively about them, though. That's more of a prerequisite than an indicator of job performance.
My big rub with him is that even though everyone in KC talks him up, when push came to shove, he was passed over for the promotion to OC for Matt Nagy, indicating that Reid saw Nagy as the better coach. I don't know that anybody would be thrilled with hiring a poor man's Matt Nagy.
