Why would Andy Reid want Alex Smith? He already has the exact same player in Kevin Kolb.

The Rooney rule is outdated and antiquated. Just get rid Of it. It’s lame.

I do not understand some of these eagles fans are on these board. Andy took a 3-13 team around went playoff 9 years , 1 sub,5 nfc title games. Came close to winning sub, respect the man instead of calling him names. You got your wish,he is gone because he was not a big talker but the man move on.why you all scared that he is going to win a title before the eagles?

I don’t think there would be a better fit than Andy Reid with the Cardinals. They have a lot of talent and pieces in place for his offense.

Hope this gets done quickly, Reid is class act and the GM in Philly deviated from their formula of winning, and tried to buy a Super Bowl the past 2 years. Patriots and Giants have the road map to success and that is player development and scouting.

If Andy gets this job and brings Juan Castillo to fix the O-line and keeps Horton to run the defense the Cardinals will win a Super Bowl way before the Eagles will.

Arizona has some pieces in place, esp defensively and maybe Reid can save Kolb. He traded up and over-drafted him, there must be something he likes. After the yr Reid has had, personally and professionally, why not step back and take a year or two off and decompress. He can’t need the money and it seems like 6-8 coaches turn over every yr, they’ll be other opportunities. Why jump right back in?

Andy is a good coach but do not give him the GM title.if it was not for Vick , Andy be still in Philly. Loosing his assistance coaches took a toll on him(brad childress, spag, pat shurmer,harbough,Sean mcdermit,ron Rivera,dirk juron,leslie fraiser) then jjim Johnson to cancer. He lost all these assistants after 2005 , he tried to fix it by bringing Jim was burn in n he was a cancer in the locker room. Was burn used call Juan junitha in front of players ,guess he wanted the DC job so he was trying to under estimate Juan castello, Juan is a good coach n good man. I guess the players did not wanted to play for him especially d-line so Andy had no choice but let him go after bye week, still was burn did not get the gig and after that it was a jail break until babin and was burn was let go. If any had never brought Vicki and wash burn in he had be still in Philly. If cards hire him you getting a good coach n Fitzgerald will be best wr in the league.

Rooney rule is a good rule, in most cases, it means that teams will be open minded to other options, not just hiring retreads. Owners aren’t that creative when it comes to hiring new coaches.

this will end ugly. the man should take some time off. i think hes just avoiding his life through immersion in football.

amateur psychology aside, andy isn’t really a quarterback guru. he couldn’t make a good quarterback out of either of the detmers, or aj feely, or doug peterson or mike kafka or kevin kolb. jeff garcia was who he was before playing in philly, and andy got rid of him and kept mcnabb after garcia rallied the team to the playoffs. while he and mcnabb were successful, other factors were less noted but equally important, such as a weak nfc east (and nfc overall), and jim johnson’s defense.

so to those thinking he can instantly make kevin kolb a starting nfl quarterback, good luck on that. he couldn’t do it in the four years he had him before, as andy abandoned his four year plan and went with vick after kolb was clocked by matthews in his first game as a starter.

two things arizona better figure out is how to keep horton, as andy hasn’t had any success on that side of the ball in a while. they also better get a draft guru, not tom heckert. andy doesn’t judge talent very well (taking freddy mitchell instead of reggie wayne, wasted second and third rounders every year, installing bums like maccho harris and the less talented matthews brother as starters when they are at best special teamers, failure to field an nfl quality safety since dawkins was jettisoned).

Get ready for a lot of enlightening candor from Reid Cardinals fans. Phrases like “I gotta do a better job” and “I take full responsibility” will be repeated after every defeat.

And when you look at how badly Reid has coached drafted, and hired since losing the Super Bowl to the Patriots in addition to the Cardinals’ not so glorious past they will be losing a lot.

If they hire Reid, they’d better make sure to take care of Horton. We already have seen what happens when Reid doesn’t have a competent Defensive Coordinator.

Entirely too nay know it alls in here. Andy Reid is one hell of a coach. Every GM who has over spent on talent and attitudes vs chemistry and team values has found the same fate. Washington tried it most recently prior to Philly.
Coach Reid has taken potential and groomed these players to winners as is seen by how they under perform when he trades them. I would like to see him and Childress back together again as Childress can spot talent (like him or not). 1 year under Reid will make the team remarkably better 2 years and you will have a championship contender – no doubt. God Bless coach and best wishes to you and your family. SKOL VIKES!

Out of the pressure cooker into a laid back west coat attitude. No surprise for Reid to jump at this if SD doesn’t want him.
If there anywhere he’s going to get anywhere near the same power he had in PHI its in ARI.

Hahaha. The best part about this is since the Cards and Eagles both finished last in their division they are play each other. Interesting to see when the NFL schedules Andy’s return to Philly

interesting how Rooneys hired Mike Tomlin and gave wisenhoff a token interview….

Tomlin hasn’t done too bad.. the players the organization brought in aren’t that great…

mendanhall was spoiled from the very beginnning.. go back and read.. he was hurt his first season and didn’t even show up at Heinz field.. We all know the story on Ben.. and Steelers wanted to run the ball more and give Ben more discipline so…. Bruce Arians out the door… Ben’s number improved dramically but his maturely is being shaped now by his wife…
and Wallace.. another spoiled brat.. not getting his money contract.. and.. remember Rooneys get rid of certain players… Holmes.. right after winning the Super Bowl.. no one player is better that the team. So…. Competent players.. competent coaches.. no matter what the race card is played

They deserve each other, maybe Andy can sign Donavan to back up Kolb.

Andy Reid grew up out west. I can see why he might want to coach out there. If he can’t get a job in San Diego, then Arizona is pretty close to Cali.

The Cardinals need Juan Castillo as OL coach as much or more than they need Andy Reid as the HC. If Reid can’t bring Castillo then tell Andy bye bye.

No one said it, so i’ll be the first…And the new starting qb for the Ari Cardinals is M. Vick.

You beat me to it.
