2012 Off-Season Thread

I happen to think that they're better keeping him because there is way too much of a risk in dumping him and not getting the right guy. Could you get a Tomlin? Sure. But I'd bet that the odds are better you get some slappy who they'd have to fire in 3yrs because he sucks.

Keep Reid and let him dump Juanny for Spags and have another year with this group.

Because even if they did dump Reid - Joey B and Howie are still going to call shots.

All well and good except they're going to lose Pimp & Asante and replace them with lesser players.

I'm tired of excuses, tired of pronouncements, tired of Lurie, Banner, Roseman, Reid and everyone else connected with that farging team.

actually the odds of getting a better in game coach are pretty much 100%

just out of curiosity in your opinion when will the year be where the odds are in favor of getting a coach better than andy...or are you saying they should keep him forever

such a loser mentality by too many people within the organization and by too much of the fanbase...until that changes they will never win

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Only chance they had to keep Pimp was to keep Reid.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No, not forever.

But with this team I think he fits them best. I worry about getting a re-tread who sucks or a young guy who ends up being in over his head and setting the team further back than they are now.

I believe that Reid with this core group plus a new DC and a few other players is the best option right now.

wait hes coached this core for like 150 days....that gives him some sort of special bond with them?

and he just missed the playoffs with that core

what the farg kind of foundation is that to support him coaching them again?

first you said they could never get a better coach than andy now its because he needs to stay with this "core"

im confused

[Drunkmasterflex]

Yeah I don't think you can get much worse as an in game coach, I think they have spent at least 3 timeouts on punts in the last two seasons. 

Funny thing is they had a great coach here under their noses for years in Harbaugh, how many would love to see him as the HC?

[Munson]

Either way, I'd be happy for him. One way would make me happier for myself.

great point on harbaugh...its so hard to find a better coach than andy unless you look on your own staff

The players here, on this team now, I believe he has the best chance of anyone else right now to win with them. I don't feel like an overhaul on the staff would make them better. Change the DC and get better in the problem areas and see what happens. That is what I feel most comfortable with.

[SD]

I want them gutted. Reid gone, Roseman gone, Banner gone. All new coordinators as well.

He gave their fans a "game ball" could you imagine the Eagles doing that?

[ice grillin you]

id rather have a good coach with a horrible personality than a bad coach with a good one but a bonus byproduct of whenever reid does go is that whoever they get is almost assured of having a better relationship with the fans

i guess we just disagree...if they had a good team who lost in the nfc champ game or superbowl this year i could see not changing...but how important is continuity when you are talking about a team and coach who barely know each other and arent very good to begin with

That really doesn't make any sense, though. The only reason these players are on the team is because he brought them here. And people act like someone else coming in can't get more out of the team and players then Reid. The 49ers sucked last year and this year they're the #2 seed in the playoffs and playing great with a NEW head coach that came from the college ranks. This mentality of Reid is the only one that can be successful with this team is retarded.

My interest in 2012's Eagles is already halved just knowing Reid's coming back again and it's rapidly dwindling because I'm tired of the same old shtein year in and year out. I wish there wasn't such a loser mentality associated with the Eagles and so many people being willing to accept mediocrity because there's such a fear of change. Change doesn't automatically equal failure. (And no it doesn't automatically equal success either, but I'd rather roll the dice and have some hope rather than accept mediocrity because I'm unwilling to let someone else change the status quo.)

For those of you in support of canning Reid; who ya got as a replacement?

Mike Mularkey?
Mike Sherman?
