Banner's Madden/Reid comparison

E-mail from friend and loyal blog reader Lemur this morning:

Lemur is right (it happens every three months or so) that I should have included the Reid/Madden comparison from the

interview on Comcast SportsNet. So here is exactly what Banner said:

"I was telling the story to somebody the other day. John Madden coached at Oakland for 10 years," Banner said. "He won fewer regular-season games and he went to five championship games. He did go to two Super Bowls versus one, and he did win one. But in Oakland that got him elected to the Hall of Fame. In Philadelphia, that gets Andy, at least from the public's perspective, uncertain about his job."

To be honest, given my age, I can't comment properly on how Madden compares to Reid. I never saw the guy coach. So instead, here are the numbers from

, and I'll let you all argue about the comparison.

Madden went 103-32-7 for a winning percentage of .763. Reid is 97-62-1 for a winning percentage of .610.

Madden went 9-7 for a .563 winning percentage. Reid is 10-7, a winning percentage of .588.

Madden got there seven times and was 1-6. Reid has got there five times and is 1-4.

Madden was 1-0. Reid is 0-1.
