Eagles: No truth to Web rumors Reid is leaving
BREAKING NEWS: Not everything on the internet is true.
Including a rumor that Andy Reid would be replaced by Jon Gruden. Here's what the Eagles had to say: "Early this morning we have received several inquiries regarding the rumors regarding Andy Reid and Jon Gruden. This was simply a rumor and there is no basis to it at all. It is simply not true."
This was apparently started by former Eagles fullback Kyle Eckel and a post he made on his Facebook page. Obviously it picked up enough steam in the Web world that the team felt it had to respond.
We return now to labor disputes and rampant draft/free agent speculation.

Hey Kyle, people actually read the nonsense people put on FB but I guess you know that now...oops.— djw26
Darn it!— ej610
if they floated this rumor right after the GB loss, then it would have some interest. but not after they went through all the trouble of rebuilding the coaching staff. a new head coach generally wants his own people (unless you're in dallas or oakland). we've probably all though of chucky coming in and getting the job done. i believe he could get us at least one superbowl win. problem is, after 4-5 years the players start to tune him out, so it's a small window. i dunno if jeff can pull the trigger on that move.— Evilvet- Hey Evilvet, Reid's been here eleven years. When do you think the players tuned him out?...Waiting...Waiting...RIGHT!!! About six years ago.— essell
- yeah they tune him out to 10-6 records and playoffs every year. it's that plus the players actually like him that he's still around. he makes management happy because they win enough, and the players think he gives them a shot in a winning system. he doesn't overcoach with speeches and burn out the players with same old pep talks. gruden fires them up fast, but burns the candle twice as fast. — Evilvet

- then he can come here and win with Reid's players. I have zero problem with that— pbuscio
- Wait, not true as in "McNabb's the starting QB" - Trade. Not true as in "McD's the DC" - Fired. Can't beleive the internet? How about can't trust Reid & Co.— DennyP
- Wow, that would've been awesome if it was true, well except the part where Gruden would call Vick "Starship 7" in all his press conferences.— rob808pf
- Hey essell, are there any player left from six years ago still with the team?— bewilderize
- DAMN! And to think, this could have been the best day for Philly fans in a good long while: The Steelers, with all their FRONT-RUNNER, IN-BRED FANS, went down and went down hard last night. Then, I wake up to hear that FF Andy Reid is OUTTA HERE!!! I don't care if it was to be Gruden, Cowher, whoever, as long as Reid is gone. WE WILL NEVER WIN A SB WITH ANDY REID. PERIOD!— 5NOT4
- It sounds like a crazy rumor but you never know we have heard weird stuff start on the internet with the birds before and then it ends up true...the only way I think this would happen is if Andy had personal reasons and he STAYED ON HAS GM or a major front office person I don’t think he would be totally forced out....as I have said many times Andy is a good coach but after 12 years I can’t take his pass happy philosophy and his view on drafting smaller faster players at the linebacker and defensive end position— phillykid19
- Eckel knows something, rumor has it he was second choice for d-coordinator. He played linebacker in high school for a series or two.— snakeplissken
