What To Do With Andy Reid of the Eagles?

Can anyone out there make sense of the Andy Reid situation in Philly?

According to Pro Football Reference.com, in 14 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, Andy Reid has a staggering coaching history.  Before we go any further, let’s take a brief look at his resume:

Coach - Andy Reid

Andy Reid (Philadelphia Eagles)

1020 Pattison Avenue

Philadelphia, PA 19148

• 11 winning seasons
• 1 Super Bowl appearance 
• 5 NFC Finals/Championship appearances
• 7 NFC East/Division championships

Folks, this is a very impressive resume that could land Reid a job anywhere, but will it be enough to keep Reid in Philly?

I received an email from a very upset Philly fan who goes by the name of ‘A Very, Very Angry Bird’.  The angry bird wrote this:

"Also, remember that Tom C was just about to be ran out of NYC and now they have 2 Super Bowl rings under his leadership.....hummmm? Jeff  Fisher....??? **** "
"Should Andy Reid be fired or allowed to finish out the year? The issues with the team are partly his decisions and after 14 years of service...what do you do as an owner? Do you allow the man who helped you build a billion dollar club finish or do you just fire them like a lot of these recycled washed up coaches?**** "

Owner - Jeffrey Lurie

This and many other questions need to be answered for the coaches, the players, the fans, and the city of brotherly love.  Although, I have a feeling if owner Jeffrey Lurie (photo left) decides to keep Reid, the city of brotherly love will turn to the city that booed and snowballed Santa Claus.  Santa Claus? Can you believe that?

Reid’s son Garrett dies of an accidental overdose at the practice facility.  At the facility!  Everyday, Andy Reid must go to practice to try and coach players knowing only a few yards away, his son passed.  That is very difficult to deal with as a father.  I have never lost a child and I could not even imagine what Mr. Reid is going through.

Even if Reid were to get fired, I honestly think he would be relieved.  No longer would he have to see the practice facility.  No longer would any more memories haunt Reid.  Finally, I believe this is what Reid has been looking for, but could not verbally say out loud. 

The Washington Post reported Reid stating, “quitting would be a cop out”.  Now maybe Lurie (the owner) can go ahead and give Andy what he cannot say, but desperately needs which is to end his tenure in Philly.

Under the extreme circumstances I say, well done Andy Reid, well done!
