After they fired Chip, they hired Reid's OC and promoted Reid's personnel exec back to GM. So they were definitely following the Reid blueprint.Reid left the Eagles in 2012. That comment above is hilarious.

That's fine. But that doesn't change the fact that the Eagles won the SB 6 years after Reid left. Let's not pretend that was anything like Barry Switzer taking over for Jimmy Johnson in 1994 and winning the Super Bowl in 1994. It was 6 years.After they fired Chip, they hired Reid's OC and promoted Reid's personnel exec back to GM. So they were definitely following the Reid blueprint.
Well this is what I am getting at. Reid obviously can do a lot of the job extremely well but you can't just ignore the pervasive clock management and game decision issues that have plagued him for 20 years. It's baffling because as I wrote last night, coaching up Matt Moore to go toe-to-toe with Aaron Rodgers in a shootout seems like it should be much, much harder than figuring out how to use timeouts properly.If you couldn't / didn't have Belichick, what coach would you most want out of the current league? My pick would be Reid, there are other defensible picks, but you're either lying or crazy if you say he's not in your top 5.
Would Andy Reid with Ernie Adams be the GOAT? I know Adams handles a massive amount of the situational probabilities and decision making for things like clock management.Well this is what I am getting at.

Reid would be a safe choice to replace BB in that you'd be pretty much guaranteed to have a solid playoff contender year after year, but then again being a solid playoff contender year after year and never actually winning a Super Bowl would also be super frustrating after a while.
Excellent post and ditto!No. Not Jon Gruden.
Look, if Reid’s teams didn’t constantly lose in the playoffs because he makes weird calls, or loses track of time or has a QB puking on the sidelines, I’d get that. Billy Beane’s teams don’t always lose in the playoffs because he constantly constructs them with the same weakness.
Maybe you can look to Bill’s 3 SB losses and point to bad decisions. Maybe have Ghost kick that field goal in the Scottish Game. Maybe play Malcom against the Eagles. Maybe put glue on Welker’s gloves in the second Giants’ Super Bowl.
But, every time I watch Reid coach in the playoffs he does something dumb that even I know in the moment is dumb. He’s not a winner winner. I’d take my chances with guys who have gone all the way, or have the potential to.
20 years in the league and a couple silver medals tells you where his ceiling is.
Andy Reid not knowing he needs an Ernie Adams and then finding a good one says something in itself, no?Would Andy Reid with Ernie Adams be the GOAT? I know Adams handles a massive amount of the situational probabilities and decision making for things like clock management.
Totally. Can’t recall ever rooting for Miami.This is the moment I discovered how much I dislike the Steelers.
Go Miami! I guess...
This guy is a thinker.By rooting for Miami you’re rooting against them. Easy decision.
He's never seen a play that didn't delight him.Tessitore just had a stroke
Those are Cheerios.Didn’t realize Ryan Fitzpatrick used Philip Rivers brand condoms.
I need to get BB a Christmas card this year.It'll be great when Tomlin doesn't get canned again this off season.

I think this is where most people are with Andy Reid. Hire a bench coach, or a strategy dude, or buy a copy of Carmen from the Red Sox, or something. Until then, it just seems like your waiting for the inevitable big game issue.Andy Reid not knowing he needs an Ernie Adams and then finding a good one says something in itself, no?
Continuity! For its own sake!It'll be great when Tomlin doesn't get canned again this off season.
You’d think a Harvard guy would be smart enough to understand the pull out method is far more effectiveDidn’t realize Ryan Fitzpatrick used Philip Rivers brand condoms.
It makes it easier once you realize that they have to get on an airplane tonight while you sleep.Rooting for Miami kinda sucks too.
