When Reid took the head coaching job in Philadelphia in 1999, the reaction was, ‘Andy Who?” He had never been a head coach at any level, had never been a coordinator at the major college or NFL level or called plays in the NFL.

The Eagles, coming off a 3-13 season, held the second overall pick in what appeared to be a quarterback-rich draft. Much of Philadelphia wanted to see the Eagles take running back Ricky Williams of Texas, but Reid wanted to build his team around a franchise quarterback.

“He’s got really good philosophies,” Gargano said. “One of those was the shell philosophy. Back then he said, ‘Give me two (defensive) ends, two good corners, two good tackles on offense, and a quarterback, and that shell is what’s going to win. He said, you watch, this league is going to be a pass-heavy league, it’s going to morph into that.’

“He foresaw … I give him a lot of credit.”
a decade late, but we're finally joining the real nfl
