Andy Reid looks to surpass Tom Landry on the all time wins list today

I expect a respectful tip of the cap around here when he does.

 

[SlammedZero]

Reid is a damn good coach. I have much respect for his earned place in NFL history.

Keep in mind Pre 1977 the NFL played seasons of 14 and 12 games and had less playoff teams hence less playoff games.

Landry would be well over 300.

Hats off to the great Andy Reid nonetheless.

 

[Hardline]

Unfortunately a lot of those wins came as an eagles coach .

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I put Reid above Belichick now.

Records are meant to be broken, like the total number of chicken nuggets a head coach cat eat at one sitting.

The NFL started in 1932 and until 1947 varied from 10-12 games and then from 47-60 12 games; 60-78 14 games; 78-2021 16 games and 17 since 2021

So bluntly speaking George Halas would have a LOT more wins looking at it that way. Probably near 400.

Tom would not have gotten all that many more regular season games but probably another 10-15.
BUT playoffs would have been a fair number more for him and of course Halas and other older coaches.

So this particular stat needs an asterisk

So the obvious question here is how many more Super Bowls would we have won if Reid was the coach in the 60s and 70s?

Andy Reid had no military background during those years of relevant pasts for the forging of the sport in that time period. Gambling or forged by real fire.

Andy earned his stripes in the profession...as a college coach he was an offensive line coach and started out in the NFL as a quarterbacks coach, then to Offensive Coordinator.

Go Bears!

I still love that the Eagles Fans ran him outta town

Lol

Valid argument to be made there.

 

[mattjames2010]

Reid is a good coach until there is 4 minutes left in the game and he doesn't have a superstar QB to bail him out.

 

[mattjames2010]

No there isn't. Bill never flubbed as many times as Reid did in crunch time.

Mahomes is covering up A LOOOOOOOOOOOT of Reid's issues. This is not the same as Bill who covered up Brady's weaknesses early in his career.

 

[Texasfootball21]

Time for a new state farm commercial. Lol

 

[xwalker]

I envision @Bobhaze in the Tonya Harding role and Andy Reid as Nancy Kerrigan...

Just kidding Bob.

 

[atlantacowboy]

NFL records established 3 decades apart shouldn’t be compared. The regular season was 14 games for much of Landrys career. The most games you could win was 17 including the Super Bowl and that was only done once by the 72 Dolphins.

 

[RS12]

Yeah they played less games per year during the Landry era. I feel like Reid coaching during the salary cap era balances that out. And I am obviously a huge Landry fan.
