The dude above who thinks A.J Smith won’t get another job is deluded.

Andy WILL be a patient if he doesn’t lose that extra baggage.

We would love to have him in Jacksonville, but there will be no move to LA, ever!

If I just got canned after making all those millions over the years, and having another several million coming, I wouldnt work for that year. Hell, I’d probably retire and never be heard from again. Reid must have plenty of cash, and he could supplement his lifestyle by writing some books or get a million a year from one of the networks to come in for a few hours on Sundays during the season. Reid has it made.

Reid was once a top flight coach. He has fallen off in a sad, amazing way.

I think this rumor started because Andy Reid owns a house in San Diego.

It’s amazing that people think the Chargers would be interested in Reid. People in SD see Reid as Norv Turner with more power.

I guess unlike the people on here who claimed Reid would be instantly wanted by all teams, the Chargers actually watched some Eagles football this year.

Any team interested in not being fined for not interviewing a minority for Head Coach would say that they were not interested in hiring Andy Reid.

I always find it interesting when people say “he needs some time off after all he has been through.” People handle grief in different ways. Just because you might take time off does not mean that is best for everyone. Different people handle life’s traumas differently.

I think it’s only that the Chargers want to choose their own coach and not let the media do it for them.

No way. First what SD needs is an OL and the balance of a good running attack.

We have had enough of wingnut coaching chucking the ball all over the place mainly to the other team.

Andy Reid to Chicago makes the most sense.

I do not believe Reid will obtain much interest -anywhere. He gives the impression ,to me at least ,of a disinterested person who has other things on his mind. He has become morbidly obese and he looks disheveled He almost appears disinterested at press conferences. , Appearances do make a difference. Finally, he just has not been a good coach the last few years. Despite having above average talent he has produced below average results. Unfortunately, it appears as though Andy Reid has lost it as a coach.

If Gruden lands anywhere he will fail.

Rivers isn’t his kind of QB, not to mention he’s on the down side of his career, something Charger fans haven’t quite come to grips with yet.

You obviously haven’t watched the Chargers recently, Rivers is fine, it is everything else around him that is the problem.

I don’t blame Spanos. Reid is a good coach, but the Chargers need to go the GB/NO route and hire a younger/fresh face coach.

They have gone retread twice already, it is time for some new blood.

I don’t know why these coaches rush back into coaching. If Andy Reid doesn’t get another coaching jobs, he will get paid by the Eagles since he still had a year left when he got fired.

Also, who are the hot names we hear about every year, Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden.

As a Steelers fan, Bill will always have a place in my heart, but fact is, he is an average Coach who benefited from the GM. He manages a game as he has no input in the way the offense runs. Gruden was the guy who couldn’t find a qb to save his life, and when he did find one, he almost got him killed, when the team doctors left Chris Simms in the game with a ruptured spleen. Bill retired, but he went 8-8, while Gruden was fired. Now they are hot commodities every year when the season comes to an end.

So if i was any of these fired coaches, especially Andy Reid, i will sit out the year, enjoy my one year pay check from the Eagle, revamp any strategy i need to improve as a coach and get ready to get hired at the end of the 2013 season.

I don’t really know where the Reid rumor started although I’ll bet on that big mouthed agent of Reid’s. The Chargers don’t pay big enough money, are bent on having the Spanos son in a prominent power role going forward, and Rivers isn’t his kind of QB, not to mention he’s on the down side of his career, something Charger fans haven’t quite come to grips with yet.

But just like Dan Fouts, it will become more obvious as the years continue to go on until everybody realizes that his fast ball isn’t coming back.

Still say Carolina is Reid’s best fit if he could sneak Heckert in there past the Giant personnel recommendations being pushed.

Maybe Andy would be interested in OC positions so he can dial it back a notch. The Cardinals could use some sorting out, their offense is a shambles.

Reid will take a year off, unless a team like Dallas or San Deigo come calling.
However, could he go to Jacksonville, with the indication that they will move to LA?

But but but eagles fans were told that he would get any job he wanted the minute he was fired??? And now your last sentence eludes that with all these openings he may not get any job?

Colin Cowherd on ESPN a few minutes ago said Philly is interested in Bill O’ Brien from Penn State. Just thought I would throw it out there.

They are about to find out how difficult it is to replace a guy like Norv Turner. Please. Should have called him Nov Turner because November is when the season ended for the Chargers every year.

Of course they arent. They would rather have Brian Schottenheimer.

“First, the Chargers likely don’t want to pay Reid the kind of money to which he is accustomed. Second, the Chargers likely don’t want to give Reid the kind of power to which he is accustomed.”

Which is why S.D. has lived in mediocrity for years now.
