It is official McNabb (1999) was a much better QB than Vick (2001) was because that choice essentially got Reid fired.

He has been a good coach, the last few years maybe not as good as he could be.
Take some time off, deal with that personal baggage and maybe he can be the coach he needs to be.
I always felt he has been in denial about the issues of his sons.
I don’t think he has really taken the time to deal with the loss of his son less than a year ago.
Take A Year Off.

Andy, I hope you are fired. The eagles had a great organization being built with Tom Modrak building a team and you and your coaching staff running the team. Many coaches have made you look good,Jim Johnson,Leslie Frazier,chilli,and many others. You and your agent bob lamont got all the power from Jeffery and you ran it into the ground. Howie Roseman as the gm? Good luck Philly fans, the organization is back to being run by business people instead of football people. Who is going to make a football decision for the eagles?

Andy Reid is overrated, blutbaddenbill. Contrary to the belief of many non-Philadelphians, it is Reid who is the QUARTERBACK KILLER. He was NEVER a “quarterback guru”. This is purely a media creation. If he gets his hands on RGIII, I guarantee you, RGIII will end up like Vick or McNabb…ineffectual and confidence shaken.

Really amazing to see the positive comments from the Eagles fans on here. For all of you other ignorant nfl fans… Well I would expect nothing less. Thanks for all that you did Andy!!!

Seems to me that they should have fired the GM who built this team. They could see the team sinking last year. Reid is a known commodity as a coach and will be rehired almost immediately if he wants to. All I know is that they did have a helluva run!

The Eagles didn’t even try. That’s not Reid’s fault. Gutless players. No pride. Pathetic!

That’s a direct reflection on the coach.

“Now, bring in Perry Fewell!!”

Take it from a Giants fan, trading Andy Reid for Perry Fewell is a SIGNIFICANT downgrade. Might want to review the Giants games and see how often guys are out of position and how bad they are when they can’t get to the QB before signing Fewell. Bears fans should be asking for Fewell. He knows how to beat GB. Everyone else? Not so much.

Andy is a good person, but sometimes things just run their course and it’s time to move on. There’s a reason why most coaches don’t last this long. I wish Andy all the best – unless he ends up in Dallas.

This team almost lost 12 in a row. 12 IN A ROW. Better coaches have been fired for performances like this year and today in particular. 2 playoff wins in 8 years, better coaches have been fired for that. ZERO championships in 14 years, most coaches don’t get that long to NOT win.

During the eagles run of early 2000′s what great team did they beat? NONE. They were favored to win almost every playoff game and managed one super bowl., lost to underdogs time and time again. Andy Reid had a pretty good run, but to continue with him as the head of the organization is not an option.

Thank you and Good Luck Andy.

I love the comments:

It wasn’t Reid it was Vick. Reid chose Vick.

It wasn’t Reid it was the D. Reid chose the D, FAs and draft picks as well as implemented the Wide 9.

It wasn’t Reid it was the….Folks these were all Reid’s decisions.

This on top of him being an awful big game coach since 1999 = appropriate firing.

When Reid stinks at his new job all you non Eagles fans saying how stupid we are will see how we’ve been right for the past 5 years.

PS – Reid NEVER did anything without Jimmy Johnson. NEVER!!
————————————————–

When Reid fails miserably at his next coaching(?) job, the critics of Reid’s critics will see we were right all along about him. Just as we were about McNabb.

andrewprough:
Cowher’s two-year experiment with Maddox failed because his team’s defense got old. In 2003, he drafted Troy Polamalu, which paid dividends starting with the 2004 season, when the Steelers’ defense began a run of No. 1 rankings in five of the next nine seasons.
Cowher won his lone Super Bowl with a quarterback who had a passer rating of 22, the lowest in Super Bowl history.
In the ‘Burgh, it’s always been about defense since the drafting of Polamalu in ’03 and Dick LeBeau’s arrival in 2004.
Good luck duplicating those two.

As a diehard Cowboys fan I respect Andy Reid and his abilities. I don’t think his ability diminished over the tenure but his judgement did; he should have taken a few months off when he lost his son; his sacrafice of coming back early to coach a meaningless preseason game just added bad karma to a team/organization that allready had plenty of negative karma starting with VICK. I think putting trust in Vick to get the job done will be remembered as his biggest lapse in judgement by REID followed by trusting his dick boss to respect him and announce the separation at a joint press conference rather than let it leak out before the lights have even been turned off at the stadium. Donovan Mcnabb was best QB product without a doubt. Should have a ring outta it.

Good luck Andy. It’s time for a change. And let’s not get carried away, the div is up for grabs next year, not like patriots are in the NFC east last time I checked. Div struggles to barely win 9-10 games.

classy coach! i would not have come back this year if i had the heartbreak he did this year,especially in the worst sport city in world,philadelphia! would love to see him be a qb coach for the redskins,and if not,he would be a great oc elsewhere! good luck to a great coach!

Andy was the best coach in my lifetime and probably in the history of the franchise. I wish him and his family well. I hope he takes a year off to be with the family so they all can heal. Clearly his message wasn’t being heard in Philly anymore and he has made some terrible moves with coaches and players. It is time for a change. There were also things that he never corrected, mostly clock management which was always aweful.

I love the comment that the Eagles are going to start sinking to mediocrity. They were mediocre last year 8-8, this year 4-12, right now the Eagles aspire to be mediocre.

I just HOPE Lovie is NEXT!! I dont want Andy Reid tho. I want Greg Roman the offensive Coordinator
for the 49ers. Emery can be trusted
to get a good coach and get a O-line

What happened to fraction Jackson got paid and is a bum. Mike Vick got paid played like a bum…Reid will be the best coach we ever had but it was stale…..from the top how do yo treat Dawkins and Mcnabb like that… Kill the heart and the body will follow that was the collapse of this organization…. Pay those who will give you everything all the time….don’t get me started on Nhamdi(24) biggest bust overrated player in free agency history….curse of Dawkins in the safety position we will probably never Find a adequate replacement. End of a era end of legitimacy…..just easily put So disappointing !!!! Fire Lurie Rossman bring back JC !!!

I’m a Redskins fan, and I have nothing but respect for Reid. He and McNabb were a force to be reckoned with for a long time. I hope he’s successful in San Diego, or wherever he ends up.
