Horrible?

The man had 3 losing seasons in 14 years in Philly. No, he never won a superbowl but made to the NFC Championship like 5 or 6 times and the Superbowl once but come on. I dont get how anyone can say Andy Reid is horrible. He'll be a head coach again, it may be as soon as next season

^ Very fair MVP2, and you have made me think more on this.

This is to not cast stones at Michael Vick, though I am NOOOOO fan of Vick, but Vick = the demise of Andy!

Let's be completely honest about the Andy Reid years and finally give credit where credit is due to the team that made all of those NFC East titles and runs at the Super Bowl -

McNabb and Andy were the perfect fit and McNabb was a HOF caliber QB for years. I believe that Andy was a very intelligent offensive coach, and with McNabb, he had someone who could run that system perfectly. McNabb got old overnight. When he did, and during the times that he was injured, Reid dialed down the offense and made a guy like Kolb a Million Dollar QB. McNabb deserves much more credit than he got for the win/losses of the Eagles.

Then comes Vick. I don't think that Andy truly wanted Vick at first, then he fell in love with him and became a father figure to Mike. With that, Andy felt that he could relive the offense that McNabb ran with Vick. The difference was, Vick was just not as "football smart" as Donovan. Andy's love for Vick blinded him to the details, and he stuck with Vick come hell or high water. Because of that, he built his offense around a guy who could not run it, and with a body that could no longer take punishment. Thus, Vick never could run the offense, but Andy constantly tried to buy time until Vick was back and would try to do it all over again. Reid tried to make Vick into McNabb, and was never going to work.

Had the Eagles stuck with Kolb, I think this team would still be the cream of the NFC East!

Then, you throw in this year. After the monumental failure of the year before's "DREAM TEAM". The tragedy surrounding Andy's son. Then injury after injury to virtually every key player on both sides of the ball, and you wound up with a perfect storm of failure. It snowballed week after week, and ultimately that snowball grew so big there was no stopping it. There was no way that this team was going to be competitive this year. They started off 3-0 and everyone thought that this just might be the year. The Eagles were 3-0 and people bought into it. Yet, all three of those wins were won by slight of hand and smoke and mirrors. They should have been 0-3, but the Eagles opponents found ways to give the games away. Then reality struck, and then it was exposed that this team was just not good!

God bless Andy. I truly felt sorry for the man. As MVP said, he will get another job. And quite honestly, he needs new scenery. But god Andy, PLEASE - do not bring Michael with you!
