The Eagles' Super Bowl champion notches

Are you ready for just one more Andy Reid/Eagles stat ... Well, we'll give it to you anyway ...

In five of his 14 seasons as head coach here, his team managed to beat the team that would go on to win the Super Bowl five times.

The Eagles as a franchise have done that 13 times, all in the last 34 seasons.

 EAGLES WINS vs. EVENTUAL SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS

    i got a stat for ya....

    14 of the last 15 SB winning coaches won the SB in 5 years or less. only bill cowher needed 14 years to win his.

    do not let a coach hang around for 12 or more seasons

    Here's another stat for CHIP KELLEY!! Accurate pocket QBs are the main ingredient to winning a superbowl. All this talk about Michael vick is pointless. Bring in Alex smith and allow Foles time to learn the offense

    Is the Writer suggesting we get a Trophy for this accomplishment? They would look kind of nice next to our "Salary Cap" trophies (AKA: The Lurie Cup)!

    Cooperhawk beat the Tonner to the Salary Cap trophies crack. The Tonner should have cut back on the Genny Cream Ale last night. Darn blackout.

    more significantly per yahoo 'last four Super Bowl winners have all been the opponent when the Eagles started yet another disappointing season at Lincoln Financial Field' -- Ravnes, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints

    What sillyass stat. In reality Reid won one semi-big game in 14 years here. Can we be done with Reid now?

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
