Fired Andy Reid

QB Eagles · December 31, 2012, 01:19:25 PM

Wow. Lurie just implicitly attacked a lot of people in the presser (and explicitly attacked Vick). Heads gonna roll.

Lurie says Howie wasn't completely responsible for the drafts the past couple years, the first one he had complete control of was 2012, seems like he's pretty sure he wants to keep Roseman around.

Oh, I feel so much better.

BigEd76 · December 31, 2012, 01:24:43 PM

Supposedly a team source confirmed that earlier. Wow at throwing Andy or Banner under the bus for the fireman and Jarrett

Now he says the new head coach will report directly to him, not Howie....hmmmmmmmmm

Lurie just throwing out any bullshtein he can think up to say coaches will want to come here.

BigEd76 · December 31, 2012, 01:29:52 PM

Holy shtein at this public campaign to Chip

I wish I could believe him regarding Howie. Are we to believe Banner was the man behind the curtain screwing the team up? Weren't we told that Howie ran the 2009 draft when they were pimping him as the new GM? What a farging mess this organization is.

General_Failure · December 31, 2012, 01:30:51 PM

I too want a coach to find the best inefficiencies. What?

BigEd76 · December 31, 2012, 01:33:10 PM

Supposedly Banner had the final say on all personnel decisions, and hey, Andy's the greatest person alive according to the first 10 minutes of this PC, so....

General_Failure · December 31, 2012, 01:34:11 PM

Everyone's great, and nobody did anything wrong. Damn those players, not playing well!

QB Eagles · December 31, 2012, 01:39:20 PM

Eh, Lurie's not gonna call people out by name in a PC. Between the lines he's clearly blaming Andy and Banner for the way things have gone, and he thinks there are/were some locker room cancers those guys allowed onto the team and coaching staff. Not sure if we should believe that or his exoneration of Howie, but that's his current story.

That entire fiasco was nauseating.

QB Eagles · December 31, 2012, 01:45:15 PM

If you want nauseating, now they have Howie on.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 31, 2012, 01:51:42 PM

I caught him mentioning Scott Young and Mike Vick's fargups in the playoffs

Roob said something like (this was as Lurie was walking off) "you're still haunted by Scott Young?" and Lurie was like "ugh Scott Young" and shook his head

Yep, that was worse.
