Really? I mean...REALLY?

[PhillyGirl]

I really can't take more of him

[reese125]

you can when they are winning no?

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Not a huge deal. If the team goes in the tank and he loses them, they'll still get rid of him. Happens all the time. He's added phenomenal group of young skill players, and will get a chance to ride them for a bit. The only thing that really drives me nuts, is that it's like another so-many-years with zero chance of an actual running game....

[Susquehanna Birder]

He has made Jeffy and Chrissy more money than they could possibly imagine. Seems like a good business move to me.

[reese125]

exactly....and the fact reid gets team is oh so close is fine with banner and corp.

if a championship happens one of these years fantastic, but its all about putting the proper product on the field to maintain competitiveness and make that loot...and reid has been able to do that consistently

[Susquehanna Birder]

The funny thing is that Snyder and Jones have been able to make money by putting warmed-up dog poop on the field for years. Go figure.

[QB Eagles]

Yeah. Few if any coaches are sent away by not having their contracts renewed. Reid is here until he doesn't want to be, or until he's fired. A new contract doesn't really change that equation at all.

The difference is Lurie's debt service on the purchase of the team and the loan he obtained to built The Linc is so huge he couldn't financially withstand as many fargups as Jerry & Danny Boy.

Seriously, the Eagles might be worth a billion or whatever but that's just on paper.    If you look at the Eagles operating revenue figures it's actually fairly pitiful.

Regardless, Reid is here to stay until he strokes out.  Luckily for us he's an enormous fat ass with arteries that are clogged worse than the Schuylkill at rush hour.

This is some of the least shocking news about the Eagles over the past few months. 

[General_Failure]

I thought the least shocking would be Banner trying to recover some of Jim Johnson's salary from his estate.

[MDS]

reid is coach fo life

get on it motherfarga

[PhillyGirl]

What it says to me is what I already knew, but what I wish wasn't the case....he's not going anywhere and this is another vote of confidence.

I think the thing for me, and why this article just adds more to what will likely be a long end-game of attrition, is that this edition of the Eagles just feels old and stale.

When watching the recent Jets/Saints game I was struck by how much those teams looked to be ascendant compared to Reid's 2009 assembled roster and game plan - that their better years seem to be ahead of them. The Jets (D especially) looked like the Eagles of 99-02 and the Saints similar to the Eagles salad years of 02-05. Yes, the eagles have some youth that is exciting, but I just don't see a new version of "Reid" deep inside the blubber and hyperlipidemia who will turn the accelerating corner of decline and irrelevance.

Reid is two years late and a dollar short with his wildcat infatuation, his denial of LB's as need is a constant embarrassment and he did little-to-nothing to plan for succession of Dawkins and JJ. Every year there is a different hole in the roof he can't fix - ST issues/penalties last year, WR before that, D's that can't stop late-game drives, etc. And of course constants like clock and t/o management, sideline-to-huddle communications, and finally terminal infatuations with projects and players who have no business being on the roster.

They feel old and remind me a lot like the precipice that was 1993-94. And the few good players around at that time providing a year-over-year thread of hope proved both chimeric and fleeting.

Couldn't find IGY's old one

As much as I love to bash Reid, the last two seasons have taught me one thing. It could be much (Lions), much (taterskins), worse (St. Louis). It is what it is.....

[JackStraw]

It is what it is.....

Existentialism in acceptance of mediocrity? But then again John Paul Rosenberg was from Philly. The teams performance against the Saints was a watershed moment. The trip to the Lions is closer than the trip to Saints as any late-antiquity Roman citizen would attest.
