There's a lot of people on here though that actually watch games, and know that Reid has his faults.
The Eagles in 1999 were a dumpster fire. You deserved another decade of Ray Rhodes.

No, actually I couldn't be happier. I've wanted Reid fired since 2007. I hope for the Chiefs' sake that he has a major shift in his philosophy, both in coaching and personnel evaluation. He never changed or made any adjustments with the Eagles, and that, coupled with his incredible arrogance, was his downfall.
Reid actually took the reigns in 1998, and they were in significantly better shape than they're in now. Nobody can truly know all of his faults until they watch every game that he coaches and follow every draft pick and personnel decision that he makes. He essentially rode the coattails of Ray Rhodes' and Tom Modrak's players, who were the backbone of his defense, the brilliance of Jim Johnson, and McNabb in his prime. He was never able to replace any of them, and that's why he hasn't seen a shred of the success since 2005 that he saw from 2000-2004.
But, make no mistake, he left the franchise in significantly worse shape than it was in in 1998.
