Nice interview with Clark Hunt, why didn't Jerry go after Andy Reid?

[Jerryrage]

I think at times, why didn't Jerry Jones go right for Andy Reid? If you listen to this interview, the owner explains why his team is doing well this year.

I think he would have had we been in the market for a HC last offseason. Now...did we have a better situation to offer than KC did? That's a question. That team was in good shape, and it was not in the same division he just left. It was in a completely different conference, and a city that's known for good BBQ. Oh, Yeah!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I wouldn't have went after him. He refused to run Shady McCoy and is pass happy........that sounds awfully like what we already have. The only reason he's not pass happy now is because he has a dominant defense and a bus driver quarterback.

He isn't pass happy because he knows what Alex can and cannot do. Unlike our coach who has no clue whats going on with our offense.

Exactly. I think that this shows that Andy Reid is not a prisoner to his "system". He is flexible enough to make sure his style matches the team's talent. Andy Reid is a good football man. The only problem I could see if he came to Dallas.....he didnt want to be involved in personnel decisions anymore. So Buffoon # 1 (Jerry) would've been an out of control lunatic with signings and the draft.

He doesn't have to be pass happy when his defense is scoring for him at times lol. Andy Reid had the tools and underachieved last season with a squad that had Maclin, Desean and Shady McCoy. There were so many parallels between Garrett and Reid it was ridiculous.

Parallels or not, Reid is and has been a better coach that Garrett and there isn't any comparison at this point.

When Garrett gets to 4 NFC Champ games and a Super Bowl, then we can put Garrett in the same category as Andy Reid. He doesnt have to win any of them. Just get to 4 championship games and one super bowl. Then we can argue who is better.

I wasn't arguing who was better. You misunderstood me. What I was saying is last season Andy Reid's biggest problems was he had a top 3 running back in Shady McCoy and would refuse to give him the ball and would rather rely on Nick Foles and Michael Vick's arm and would get pass happy. That's not the best suited coach for this team. In regards to who is better? Its clear who that is. One is a guy who about 8 years ago was just a qb's coach. One has coached a Super Bowl team.

Just because you are better than Garrett doesn't mean you are best suited to coach this team. That's not a very high bar set to begin with.

Then ask yourself this.....our current team is molded to ignore the run and go pass happy. We don't have a top 3 RB, blocking TE's or an offensive line capable of run-blocking. We have a much better QB than Philly with a better WR and TE, who fits better....Reid or Garrett?

Answer...Reid by a landslide. Our defense would probably still suck but at least the offense would produce more IMO.

Once again, I never argued who was better. I'm arguing NEITHER's philosophy is what this team needs.

Sorry I did misunderstand. I know you cant just "throw out" a season, but last year in Philly was just a season to forget. Similar to Atlanta this year. While the bad record surely counts against you...sometimes you have to just chalk it up to a miserable year. IMO anyway.

 

[Tabascocat]

Then we agree to disagree because I think Reid would do well in our current set-up. I would take Andy over the current names being thrown out there now. I don't know what philosophy this team needs but the answer isn't Garrett and it could be a heck of a lot worse then Reid. Too bad that ship has sailed and we will never know..............

But that's been the knock on Reid for the past few years. Falls in love with the pass far too much. Which you could excuse if he didn't have one of the best running backs in the league. He wasn't always that way.

I think that's a problem with this front office. Always "settling" for what's better than what they have. How about give a new head coach a shot?

I agree. I listen to philly sports talk from time to time...and over the past few years, that was their # 1 gripe. Andy passing too much. Another thing Andy is not great at and that has been clock management.
All in all, I would've loved to have him as a head coach...but he is another guy that sooner or later is gonna have to win a ring- or he wont be getting the credit he may deserve.

And that was another knock he and Garrett had in common last season. Clock management. Its clear one had accomplished a lot more than the other. No doubt. But last season the same criticisms we had of Garrett are the same ones Philly fans had of Reid.

Going to sit back and try to let this statement sink in and try to comprehend it. Not sure how the front office has settled over the past few years. Seems to me they are going backwards.....

Parcells >Wade>Garrett
Ryan >or= Kiffin

Well, back and still don't understand the context here. How have they "settled" for what is better than they have had? Would be hiring Reid last year not a shot?

I have been clamoring for a new head coach and at this point, don't really care who it is.

Wow, your response has me stumped. If change is always a bit better than what was present, how is that settling? Man, maybe I need to hit the sack

I would rather have Reid. At least he won't be as much of a pushover as Garrett. If Andy could survive being an coach in Phili and being successful at it, he can do it in Dallas. Jerry can easily step on Garrett and get his way. As with Reid, he'll be much more respected since he has the experience and knowledge to coach football. Can't say the same about Garrett.

Reid's been a better HC result wise in the last decade than 85 percent of all HC's during that period of time.
