I often wonder how long this guy will be the coach there.He hasnt done too much since T.O.,and Mcnabb is probably a goner soon.Garcia did give this team a spark last year,but i mean a change is needed eventually.This year may be the end for mcnabb and reid.I dislike Mcnabb,he seems very phony and will not stand up for his mistakes.I do think he is a good qb and would actually be way better off on another team.

If Reid leaves Philly, there will be a ton of teams lining up to hire him.

People make fun of him b/c he is fat and sorta looks like a walrus. However, and 80-48 record combined with an 8-6 playoff record in an era of parity is outstanding.

If Reid leaves, every team with a young QB is going to try to hire him.

He wouldn't get fired but I could see him stepping down and taking a year off.

The guy just came off a sabbatical to deal with family issues.

No doubt he would be imminently hirable once he desired to coach again but it would make sense for him to take a year off and deal with his sons assorted issues on a full time bases.

Andy Reid is one of the best if not THE best coach in the NFL right now... look at what he has done with the talent he has, it really is nothing short of remarkable. He is a great personnel guy and great at keeping his team focused... Alot of talented players have left that team because of cap restrictions and the FA trying to keep the salaries low to pay off the rent for the construction of that new stadium, yet Reid finds ways to plug guys in even when their drafts are hardly outstanding. I gag at the fact that I am fawning over this guy right now but he really is that good. People need a reality check.

Not only will every team with a young QB want him, almost every team will try to make a play at him.

Reid is a very, very good coach and I would take him in a second. But one man that gets overlooked a lot is Jim Johnson, he is a great d-coordinator in my opinion. But Reid has drafted pretty well, developed a lot of his draft picks and has won his share of big games. If he stepped down, it would only be because of the family issues. I have a great deal of respect for him as he truly handles the Philly media and does things his way. In a sense he is not much different than Parcells.

I think Reid is an excellent football coach and he's done a great job in Philadelphia.

But I don't think he's perfect and he's shown me he can be arrogant as well.

His stubbornness has cost him in several areas and until last year, his obsession with his passing game was hurting his team.

If he learned from last season and is sincere about a better run/pass ratio, the Eagles will be a better team.

But overall, he has been great for the Eagles.

As for McNabb, I think Reid has begun to distance himself and where they were once 'joined at the hip', I see Reid and the Eagles planning for McNabb's departure.

Every coach has faults, and Andy has his. And I would say that two that stand out are his game management and his stubborness to not run the ball more.

However, he is a really good coach and if he left that dump, he would have a job in a New York second!

Again, not to hijack this thread, but if Andy would have had a better QB...a QB with a strong mind? He might have already had 2 or 3 Superbowls right now....

I agree and I think Jeff Fisher's in the same category. Speaking of Fisher, did he ever sign a long term extension? Anyone know?

Reid is pretty good. I wouldn't praise him too much, though. His offense relies way too much on the pass. Even with that fact he has, for the most part, neglected to get McNabb any real help at receiver. TO and Stallworth have both come and gone. I understand letting TO go, but I would have kept Stallworth around. He mismanaged his draft this year. Kolb? Trading within the division and letting a rival get back into the first round?

I mean if you look at the big picture his team has faired pretty well since Mcnabb came into the picture, but he does do a lot of little things wrong.

I'm thankful to have him as the head coach for the Eagles.

They have a system down that has been consistent since 1999.

The Eagles aren't one of those teams that have to hire a new coach every 2-3 years like the Cardinals, Browns etc.

Not sure, though I know they picked up the last year of his contract... I am sure they are working on keeping him if they haven't done so already

I don't really know a whole lot about Jeff Fisher; what is so great about him? I know he is the silent type, and it has been awhile since they were winning ( I don't really count last year since Vince Young won about three games for them just by moving his feet around)

Is he the same as Reid?

I won't argue he is a great personnel man, and he did a great job last year finishing the season with Garcia. But, when he had all his ducks in a row, and was in the Super Bowl, HE failed to manage the clock, and allowed the clock to beat him. I don't think he is a great coach, maybe very good, but his inability to control or coach McNabb in those close games has cost him a couple of championships.

I don't think he is a great coach, maybe very good, but his inability to control or coach McNabb in those close games has cost him a couple of championships.

Absolutely 1000 percent right about his coaching in the SB, and also not to forget the debacle in the end of the Saints' playoff game... I forgot what he did; I think it was another mismanaging of the clock situation where he called a timeout and blew the game when Deuce got the first down and let the clock run out because the Eagles were out of TO's... That was one terrible call, because he basically left the season and possibly greater things on the field by allowing a bad run defense which hadn't stopped a granite block from gaining yards to try and stop Deuce... If I were an Eagles fan I would still be livid about it.

I would still want him as a coach nonetheless; to me he is like a more advanced model of BP; he knows how to get players ready, though it seems like he can't really call offensive plays very well, because when Reid handed the playcalling duties to Marty morningweg the offense really surprised me and became a legit WC offense, which is one of the worst to defend against when executed properly. I am glad Mcnabb is back at QB, he can't run it properly hehe.

At the same time, you have to wonder how long Reid can fail to win the big game, when he's generally credited with having one of the more talented rosters in the league, before management decides they need a new direction...

Or are they just happy with contending in Philly??

One thing that bothers me about Reid and the Eagles organization is what I perceive to be a 'cutthroat' mentality when it comes to their players.

My view is that the Eagles lack the loyalty to their veteran players that other teams have.

When players hit a certain age, they're simply jettisoned with little regard to their contributions to the franchise.

Very few players seem to retire as 'career Eagles'.

I'm wondering if Eagles' fans view things the same way or if this is something that bothers them as well.

Additionally, Coach Reid has recently experience some domestic problems that I'm sure needs a portion of his focus. That said, I'm not certain that he is merely carrying out his duties until someone appropriate can be found to fill his shoes.

Andy Reid couldn't fly into the sunset if someone invented an anti-gravity machine, slapped it on his back, and flicked the on switch.

What exactly about Coleman, Glenn, Henry, Ayodele, Singleton, Fujita, Boiman, Ferguson, Coleman, Fabini, Colombo, Kosier, Glenn, Johnson, Morgan, Anderson, George, Testeverde, Bledsoe, and the cutting of Carter doesn't sceam Parcells?

And if Parcells didn't think Owens would work in Dallas, he would have told Jerry so. What is more likely, is that Parcells said "I can make this work." And he did.

You have YET to prove Parcells did not want Owens here or that Parcells was not in control.

:D

Let's recap ...

Air Transportaion - No; Jet Fuel problem

Floation - Possible; seagull hazards

...Ground Transportation?

You're gonna need to put "Oversize Load" signs on the front and back of whatever vehicle you use there. And some red flags for where he hangs outside of the car. And maybe a convoy of those trucks with the flashing lights warning oncoming traffic.

Does FedEx make a truck big enough? Doubtful. Think we're gonna have to use the space shuttle boys.

You have YET to prove Parcells did not want Owens here or that Parcells was not in control.

Holy cow.

That's the best option, but he should avoid the carpool lanes. People tend to have fits of road rage seeing a guy driving in a car all by himself. Sure, they SHOULD show sympathy for the poor man barely squeezing himself into an Escalade, but you know how cruel people can be sometimes. :(

Oh, sure! You think it's funny, but do you think the seagulls find it funny after landing on the deck of the S.S. Reid? Well, do ya??? :mad:


:lmao2: :lmao2: Funny guy you are.
