The Andy Reid Era: One Fan's Perspective

Photobucket
According to multiple reports, Andy Reid will be fired as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. It will be the end of a 14-year marriage between Reid and the Eagles, culminating in a press conference on Monday. Reid finished his tenure as the most decorated coach in Eagles history, with a record of 130-93-1 in the regular season, 10-9 postseason record, 5 trips to the NFC Championship game and a loss in his lone Super Bowl appearance in 2004. Reid came in as a relative unknown, the former quarterbacks coach for Brett Favre in Green Bay, and quickly turned the Eagles into a contender in the NFC. The league's longest tenured head coach will be elsewhere in 2013, but let's take a second to look back at the Reid era and the many ups, downs and head-scratching moments that came along with it.
