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.

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.
5 years. Fired after the 2012 season, they win 5 seasons later. No, Reid isn't due as much credit as Jimmy Johnson is for 1995, but read what I wrote.
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.
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.
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.
Andy Reid not knowing he needs an Ernie Adams and then finding a good one says something in itself, no?
LOL...7-zip fish... Steelers might literally implode.
... but then again, I'd prefer for Tomlin to keep his job for another decade or two...
So many angles to consider

Second quarter of MNF and the announcers are idly talking about how excited they are for NE @ BAL next weekend, on another network.
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.
This Steelers team as nearly 2 TD favorites vs any team was one of the stupidest lines I’ve seen in quite some time.
Remember when Joe Haden was regarded and paid as one of the best CBs in the league? Now they got Ryan Fitzpatrick targeting him specifically.
You’d think a Harvard guy would be smart enough to understand the pull out method is far more effective
It makes it easier once you realize that they have to get on an airplane tonight while you sleep.
Nobody makes every completion in a game between two of the worst teams in football sound like the Immaculate Reception like Tessitore.
