It's time for Reid to GO!!!!!!

[Wingspan]

PFT has picked up the scent:

RUMORS FLY THAT REID IS ON HIS WAY OUT

After a tumultuous personal offseason involving legal troubles for two of his sons and a disappointing 1-3 start to the 2007 campaign, it should surprise no one that rumors are circulating that Eagles coach Andy Reid will step down after the season, if not sooner.

The fact that these events are unfolding in Philadelphia will only make the storm more intense.  The unexpected qualification of the Phillies for the baseball playoffs could stave off the bulk of the scrutiny for as long as a month, but eventually the Phils will be done -- and the focus will shift back to the Eagles.

And the name to watch in this regard is Jon Gruden.

Gruden's star is back on the rise as he leads the Bucs out of last season's disaster to a 3-1 start.  If he can find a way to beat the Colts on Sunday without tailback Cadillac Williams and left tackle Luke Petitgout, Gruden will shoot straight to the top of the "A" list.  Though that might prompt some to conclude that the Glazers will decide that they don't want to let Gruden go if he can propel the Buccaneers back to the postseason, the talk in league and media circles is that ownership is ready to make a change, regardless of how this season plays out.

With that said, we wouldn't be surprised to see Tampa try to recover some of the draft picks and/or cash that was sent to Oakland when Gruden was hired in 2002.

God, let it be true.

Didn't he also say that McNabb would have been traded a week ago?

PFT isnt a horrible factory of false stories, like WIP is.   They might have 60% of their rumors come to fruition, but i really think that this is going to happen.  The writing is on the wall.  Andy will not get fired but he will step down to deal with his family problems.  You have to feel bad for the guy, but this team needs someone who is commited, not has sons who commit felonies.

he is no going to step down...he drafted kolb and i doubt he wants to give up on the future he has been trying to build ever since he got here.

  your right, he loves his 2nd round qb project more than his family.

its not about his love its about what he wants to do. he knew the crap with his fam going into this draft yet he still drafted kolb. if his fam drama gets worse he might resign but right now i do not think he steps down.

his kids cant possibly get into more trouble and if anything this coming off season he will come back thinking he put the fam crap behind him.

i want him gone i just dont see it happening.

Why does anyone think these issues will be any better under Morniwheg?

I can't see him stepping down during the season, but after absolutely. As much as he sucks as a coach right now, he is a classy guy, and stepping down midseason doesn't sound like Andy. It would be a travesty because if this thing is weighing on him that much then he never should've went into this season in the first place. It was an injustice to the fans and organization if he couldn't handle it.

i doubt they would be but there is a slight chance...even though all these bill walsh guys are pretty much the same in terms of the system they run they all have their own twists and wrinkles. andy is evidence of that...hes the only one from this bunch that seems to think passing this much equates to success.

So basically, what you're saying here is that of all the coaches that Bill Walsh has "fathered" in the NFL, we get stuck with the one who has teh downz.

...and who doesn't use a controlled, short, timing based passing game.

wait was reid on the niners staff under him? i know he was in GB under holms.

i wonder if in GB if he ever went up to mike when it was like 2nd 1 and was like "HEY LETS PASS BABY!"

How can you not want to pass when your QB is Brett FAVREfavrFarvefavrFAVRE?  Don't you just love the way he plays the game?  What a gunslinger!

6. Let me be the first to say it: Andy Reid is overrated.

Standing on the sideline and calling pass play after pass play while the Giants are hammering the franchise quarterback who built your reputation was one of the most selfish coaching acts I've ever witnessed.

Donovan McNabb should've slapped Reid after Philly's 16-3 loss. What a joke. No way you let your star quarterback get sacked a dozen times, especially on a night when your ground game is giving you 5 yards per carry.

It's easy to blame Philly tackle Winston Justice, aka Highway-74, the express route to the quarterback. But Reid's game plan was atrocious. McNabb is being used and thrown to the wolves.

first one in the national media ive seen actually criticize reid.

AMEN, keep the ball rolling!
