Multiple reports are already coming in that Andy Reid has been fired. An official announcement will be made Monday.
I’ve said all along that Philly fans who wanted Reid gone so desperately will probably regret it, at least in the short term. But it’s clear Reid completely lost his ability to manage and inspire the team. Having watched Reid for so long, I hope he gets his Super Bowl, but I really doubt he’ll get it done. He makes far too many mistakes managing the game, week after week.
I’m not sure who I would want to replace Reid. Philly sure seems to have a loaded roster, so there is potential for a short turnaround and to contend as early as next season, but likely there is going to be a true rebuilding period for the first time in over a decade. After watching this team struggle, be so stupid, so soft, I can’t see how just a change in voice can fix everything. And because the roster seems so talented, the holes aren’t as glaring (aside from the secondary and specifically the safeties). So what to do? It’ll be really interesting, no matter what happens.
