Eagles President Joe Banner joined Howard Eskin on WIP Wednesday and tried to dispel the feeling in Philadelphia that the clock is ticking on Andy Reid’s time in Philadelphia.
Banner says the team believes Reid gives them the best shot to win the Super Bowl and that anyone that has been around Reid believes the coach is good enough to win a title.
“Sometimes its baffling he hasn’t won a Super bowl, multiple Super Bowls,” Banner remarked. “I’m very confident he’s very capable of winning multiple Super Bowls. I’m shocked it hasn’t happened.”
With that said, Banner doesn’t believe Reid lacks some magical quality that Super Bowl winning coaches possess.
“A year ago, everyone was saying ‘Mike Shanahan, he’s won two Super Bowls,”’ Banner said. “Well, now he’s down in Washington. And if you could trade Andy Reid for Mike Shanahan, I don’t know anybody that wouldn’t keep Andy Reid.”
Boom. Roasted.
It’s worth noting the Eagles President threw in the comment as an aside and certainly not as some premeditated trash talk.
It was just Banner speaking the truth, and we doubt many people around the NFL would disagree with him.
