If he was a poker player, he'd be the guy that always fold unless he's got a monster hand, going deep into the tourney while his chip pile slowly dwindles to the ante.

For everything CP used to criticize Lamar and Carl Peterson over, Andy Reid and Bob Sutton are their dream coaches. You don't lose fans in droves by winning 10 games per year. Low risk, results slightly above the mean.

Except we aren't winning ten games this year. Be lucky to finish 8-8.

Great at losing challenges and blowing time outs

HE IS THE ULTIMATE COACHING GENIOUS!!!!!

He's good at going on a regular season tear and then limp dicking the rest of the way

I'll bet he could crush a half dozen box of glazed doughnuts

For the eleventy billionth time:

He's one of the best "buy-in" coaches in the league. Witness the transformation of his first season in KC. Not a whole lot changed on the roster, but that 2-14 team was suddenly on it's way to the playoffs.

Positives:
Steady coach, rarely sports a losing season.
Great offensive mind, allegedly possesses one of the most complex and thick offensive playbooks in the business.
General positive attitude coaching style, prefers to win hearts and minds rather than motivate through fear or intimidation.

Negatives:
Slow to make change when personnel is clearly in need of some bench time or discipline.
Orchestration of offensive drives; this one pretty much speaks for itself. :)
Egoli; oh yes, it's there, and in spades to the close observer. Reid can not seem to separate himself from what's good for Reid vs what's good for the team.
Good ol'boy club member; Reid is certainly not the only member of this shitty fraternity, but he's one of its most ardent adherents. Do not expect to see fresh, young, and innovative prospects show up in the Reid Coaching Clubhouse, at least not in the upper tiers.

Being a below average team is a staple of Reid

He's good at maintaining employment

Managing "Shitty Attitude" players and half time adjustments. That's about it.

That seems to be his primary strength. Stick around long enough to get into the top 10 for wins.

Killing a bucket of chicken.

This is such a well-disciplined team. Gotta give Reid credit for that.
