ANDY REID will coach again. Will it be in 2013? That's probably going to be up to Reid. Given his deliberate, one-step-at-a-time approach to things, he probably doesn't know yet whether that is what he wants. I wouldn't be surprised if Reid took a year to reassess, once Jeffrey Lurie finally pulls the plug, presumably a day or 2 after the Dec. 30 season finale.

I feel terrible for the fans in another city if they hire Reid. They will be sentanced to 2-3 years of "got to do a better job" and "put players in a better position".
I will never reflect back on the futility of the Andy Reid era with fondness. Pass happy, no running game, no WRs early, no linebackes late, inability to manage the clock, inability to throw the flag, inability to adjust once the game started.
Reid put together early on, a good core group and they won despite his coaching. Once he lost that core group, he was never able to replace them and his coaching gaffs were exposed.
My jail term is almost over. I can see the light.— woody7236- The arcane, behind the scenes machinations are above my pay grade.
I can only opinionate on what I see on my TV.
I see a man who cannot manage the clock, cannot manage timeouts.
I see a man who wilts under pressure, whose two minute drill is "Golly, how the time flies! Marty, think of something!"
And, Number One, a man who thinks clever, trick plays are a substitute for machine-like organization in the march down the field.— clayboy - Yeah, what's with Riley Cooper laying down in the end zone, hiding on top of the letters? Reid is such a dope, spending time on these gadget plays while neglecting the basics. — jman
- Let Reid reinvent himself any place he chooses. My focus will be on the search for his replacement and the staff that new coach brings in. Reid did a lot for the city but the luster wore off his approach several years ago (2008). Best of luck to Reid and Lurie.— billtfla
- Question for all you sports junkies? My favorite topic is Andy Reid/Charlie Manual. Great coaches or product of the best talent Philadelphia has ever had? Look at the Eagles team, Reid had the best QB,safety, left tackle(besides Peters),right tackle, kicker, and 1 of the best rb in FRANCHISE HISTORY all at one time and no SB titles. Also look at the Phillies, best 1st, 2nd, and ss of franchise history and only one world series title. These guys will be consider great coaches in Philly history but I think both should have one more talent with the players they had. So Lurie please make the right decision on the next coach, it is critical.— ddstman
- yea actually Reid isnt 10th best in anything all time except blowing big games at Lincoln Financial. The dumb "10th" best in wins all time ISNT EVEN ACCURATE. The asterik is 10th best only among coaches with like 100 games coached or some other lengthy amount which doesnt prove anything except that you stayed a really long time. There are many many coaches with better records then Andy that only coached maybe 2 or 3 years and then moved on to something else, or sometimes even won a championship and then retired soon after. In actual win/loss percentage Andy is like 60th something, not "10th". And even taking out the guys with only a season or two, hes sitting at #36 near Mike Sherman, a guy that got fired for not winning a superbowl, and Mike Holmgren another guy that is about to be fired TWICE NOW for not winning a superbowl in Seatle and Cleveland. Nither of those morons acquired Brett Favre, that was the GM Ron Wolf. Which is why with them in charge of teams they both have not won one superbowl EVER over 30 SEASONS OF NFL FOOTBALL. THAT IS HORRIBLE. MOST OVER-RATED MORON GROUP OF COACHES IN MODERN NFL HISTORY WHO ARE ABOUT TO BE OUT OF FOOTBALL IN 2 MONTHS. and no, I will not look fondy on Andy Reid, only Jim Johnson and some of the great players that happened to play here then. Terrible coaching, drafting, and playcalling ruined EVERY CHANCE TO WIN. EVERY.TIME.— CharlieGarner25
- no super bowl = loser— ShoreDog
- Thanks for that "no one really cares" moment hindsight.— tpizza
- HOW ABOUT A GREAT LAUGH AT tpizza EXPENSE. HERE IS A POST FROM tpizza FROM APRIL 29TH (JUST GOOGLE EAGLES 2012 DRAFT PICKS) FROM THE KING OF ALL DOPES tpizza:
tpizza wrote: "Um, nice to see that old Hindsight, who, uh, by HIS OWN ADMISSION, knows nothing about college football or the players, passing judgement on the Eagles draft as a C while the Experts like Mayock, Kiper et al give them an A."
HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA, tpizza, YOU KNOW-NOTHING DOPE. YOU ARE THE KING OF ALL DOPES. LETS SEE NOW AFTER 10 GAMES IT IS PRETTY SAVE TO THAT hindsight (charliegarner) IS MORE ACCURATE THAN THE EXPERTS. BEING THAT THIS DRAFT CLASS LOOKS MORE LIKE AN F-, ONCE AGAIN tpizza, YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED FOR THE DOPE THAT YOU ARE. HA,HA,HA,HA,HA.....— bedpan - Little Wolf talk with fork in tongue. Need to spend less time blowing smoke signals from moons ago and be good little brave. — Big Chief Strongbow
- FORMER WWF CHAMP CHIEF JAY STRONGBOW DISAGREES WITH YOU Big Chief. CHIEF JAY STRONGBOW SAY: tpizza DUMB LIKE WIGWAM. HE SMOKEM TO MUCH PEYOTE FROM LURIE/REID PIECE PIPE. ENTIRE ARAPAHO NATION LAUGH AT THE DOPE tpizza HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA. — bedpan
- lol, I guess I wasnt the only one tpizza annoyed. Thankfully there are some philly fans who are knowledgable, or else there would be andy Reid year 17 in 2015, still with zero superbowls. At least with a new coach there will be a CHANCE. And you probably shouldnt keep posting that post of his, hes made many dumber then that unfortunately.
- "I can see Andy being attractive to an owner who needs to bring order from chaos, whose team is stuck at the bottom with no structure and no hope. I can't see a team that thinks it is close to winning thinking Andy is going to put the organization over the top."
What a gem of wisdom. Isn't that exactly where the Eagles are right now?— LarsMendte2 - I don't care where the FAT MAN goes, just as long as he gooooooos! Hopefully, he will take ConVick and all the assistant coaches with him. Get the moving vans ready! I'm ready to help start loading them.— oneway
- Given the lack of discipline and the lack of effort this team has shown over the past two years, how can any owner justify hiring Andy Reid? I don't get it. (I won't mention the other stuff, time mgmt, play calling, talent evaluation, insane coaching staff hires, etc.)— chocolatethunder
