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

[Magical_Retard]

chad johnson, who i dont think will be a eagle, would be perfect. he is TO without the nonsence part. yeah he likes to celebrate but he is not a cancer and he is just frustrated on that team with that horrendous defense. if he was ever a eagle though i could imagine reid going even more nuts with the passing.

Lurie backs Reid despite Eagles' struggles

By PAUL DOMOWITCH

Eagles owner Jeff Lurie is very disappointed over his team's 2-4 start. But he made it very clear today that the poor start has not shaken his confidence in head coach Andy Reid and his staff.

"He's one of the best coaches in the league," Lurie said during a lunch break at the NFL fall owners meeting at the Westin Hotel in Center City. "If you interviewed the 31 other owners here and Andy was out there on the market, they would be lining up [to hire him]."

Reid is in his ninth season as the Eagles' head coach. He's the winningest coach in franchise history and has guided them to five NFC East titles in the last 6 years, four NFC Championship Game appearances and one conference crown.

"We have an excellent coach with an excellent coaching staff," Lurie said. "I'm surprised and very disappointed by the start we're off to. But we have excellent [coaching] leadership.

"Last year was a great example of that. Very few coaches could've rallied their team after losing their quarterback and being 5-6. But we came within a whisker of the NFC Championship Game for the fifth time in 6 years. That sort of says it all [about Reid] to me."

Lurie said he doesn't pay much attention to the criticism of Reid by either the media or fans.

"You see that in every city in the country," he said. "It's the nature of the world we live in today.

"If [Boston Red Sox manager] Terry Francona hadn't made it past the first round of the playoffs, they'd be saying, 'Oh, we need a real manager. A much better manager.' The guy's only on the verge of winning a second world championship in 4 years. Next year, you'll hear it again if they don't get past the first round . . .

"When you know what you have, and what you have is very, very good, you support the people through the ups and downs." *

Gives that fat moron a vote of confidence and his analogy is the farging insufferable Red Sox and a manager this town hates. Die.

Is there really anything else to talk about at this point? Everyone knows he's an awful coach. Everyone knows he isn't going anywhere. Everyone knows that he is a negligent father.

There's nothing else to discuss.

I agree with you rjs.  Lurie would keep him even if he loses out; the only way he leaves is if it's of his own accord, and there's really nothing else to say.

Overall, he's had a terrible year, both on and off the field decisions. They missed on a lot of assumptions this offseason.

Based on this year alone, he should lose his job, most coaches would. However, he has a nine year history here, and most of it has been very successful.

He's earned the opportunity to rebuild this team himself. Lurie will give him that. I would imagine that if 2008 looks anything like 2007, then he will be looked at a lot closer.

Despite refutes by icee, this same thing happened it Pittsburgh with Cowher. He was given a chance to fix what he had broken, and Reid will get the same thing.

[ice grillin you]

theres no comparison btwn reid and cowher..the better comparison would maybe be dungy and reid....the difference there being tampa was in much better shape when dungy was replaced than the eagles would be if reid left in january

reid is an abortion of an in game coach....something cowher never was

just because some pittsburgh fans called for cowhers head at one time doesnt make the two situations similar

cowher never had a qb half as good as mcnabb...and yet over 15 years he had only three below 500 seasons...how did he do this?...with excellent player personel work on defense and a perfectly run offense to fit the team

reid has not earned any right to rebuild a team...hes the reason the teams talent base is as bad as it is now...he lived off ray rhodes guys for several....and when it was necessary to retool the defense he has failed miserably...and we dont even need to get into the wr thing

reid did his thing and has outlasted his welcome...even if you think reids a good coach sometimes you need an enviromental and philosophical change...this is that time

what's brain melting is watching the daily news.

yesterday they had on runyan, some wierd white guy who looked like a pedophile and a black guy with a mustache (sorry, don't know names). 

runyan was like, if you fire reid, where are you going to get an established guy?

and pedophile guy was like, exactly!  and even if you can't get an established guy, who thinks an "up and comer" will do any better?  last year the chargers had a great offense and the assistant to s.d. is now a coach in miami and winless!

both of those fargtards tend to forget where reid came from.  and reid wasn't even a farging o.c.  so it's like they are protecting the guy from every possible angle. 

only decent points were cowher and lurie/reid.

they said look at what happened to cowher and he came back and won.  cowher did go retarded for the '03 (?) season and went all pass happy.  but the point is, he changed, so, if we are stuck with reid, then that's our only hope.  i know he's a stubborn Hoyda but...he did surprise us with t.o.  thing is, i don't think this team is that bad.  all you gotta do is run the ball and not have corky as your special teams coach and i bet this team is easily 4-2. 

saddest point was that i think they hit the nail on the head about lurie / reid.  they said the relationship between those two is stronger than what goes on, on the field.  i think that's true.  plus, like everyone else is saying, lurie bought this franchise for nickels and now it's worth a bazillion dollars.  he has reid to thank for that and won't go away from that until "business is losing" and by that time, the team will be long destroyed.

all great fathers have 2 kids in jail at the same time

[reese125]

ahhh...the old cliche

[rjs246]

All great fathers work 100+ hours a week and sleep at the office rather than going home to, you know, parent his kids.
