Is it really a larger gamble that a college HC can make the transition to NFL HC than it is for a NFL coordinator that hasn't been a HC?

If he would hire Rivera or Rex Ryan (if he gets fired in NY) Id FULLY back him as the HC except if Cowher were to want the job and a guy like Gailey or Norv could be brought in to be the OC.

I really think this team NEEDS a veteran coaching staff with solid leadership qualities that holds players accountable.

Done and done.

Yet your still pissed

After what has happened to his defense this year and him failing to find a DC, I don't think he will have any play on what to do with a defense on his next team.

You don't hire someone to do a job and then immediately start telling them what to do. If you have to do that then you don't make the hire.

I think he would want to hire his own DC and would try to switch and would back to a 4-3.
If Reid would be able to recognize that all this defense needs is an aggressive play caller that runs a 1 gap 3-4 base d, he could be a damn good hire.

I just dont see that happening.

Just quoting this to show the bitches what I thought about Reid well before the hire.

Your issue was you thought he would switch back to a 4-3.


You were wrong.

Try to pay attention. You used to be quite good at that until you, admittedly, put the rose colored glasses back on.

I still LOVE the Reid hire...the moves I disagree with are:

1) trading so much for Alex Smith (I'm on record before the trade saying Id be ok with a MAX of a third rounder for him)

2) signing Dante Robinson

3) Drafting Eric Fisher at 1 when that move doesn't significantly upgrade the team like a top overall pick NEEDS to.

I'm fine with just about everything else they did.

Way to miss the point. As expected.

You can't determine that what we traded for a guy was too much before he plays a game. Even with that, we traded a second round pick for a starting qb better than any we could have drafted with said pick.

If its a second rounder next year, we went 8-8 or better which will likely show a few things. Andy Reid, the hire you love, runs an offense that has shown over and over to be one that doesn't allow a qb to hide behind a running game and defense.

It's ironic that all the elite or bust guys are furious with this move when, like djln said, we got the qb out of the draft who has the highest ceiling, and paired him with what everyone here at the time of the signing called a qb guru and passed in a guy who's upside at this point is the guy we just traded for.

Yeah, would have loved for there to have been Peyton manning sitting there at 1.1. But to say we drafted a guy who doesn't improve te team is a little off base when you in turn advocate that we should have taken a qb at 1.1 who wouldn't significantly upgrade the team either.

If you want to argue they should have taken someone else, I can get on board with that. I would have taken Richardson there, but I can see the upside if you will with taking fisher. Yes, I don't like the pick, but I can also look at te player an realize that he has the chance to be an elite player due to his skillet and probably is one of the players from the draft who's has the best chance to reach that level.

WHY DON'T YOU ALL JUST

[BossChief]

Albert is the top rated OT in the NFL on PFF and Winston is #8. Clay posted the screen shot a day or two ago.

[mcaj22]

yea so my original point stands then, Peyton Hills ****ing sucks. You cant use some o-line defense that there is a brick wall when hes running behind the top rated OT and #8 RT in the NFL. No excuse, the guy is shit, fools gold, product of Dabolls piece of shit offense

[BlackHelicopters]

Andy needs a year off to mourn. He is distracted. Need a change of scenery no doubt, but the NFL is a passing league, and who cares if he can't run the ball. Neither can we. Omaha.

[ChiefMojo]

Well things aren't going well for Andy. With that said I did like what they just said not long ago... The Eagles average 29 rushes a game this year. If Reid shows more balance, I like him better. Not #1 on my list but do sorta like Reid as a candidate in a new scenery.

[Mr. Laz]

i don't know

he's probably another guy that would be better off one step lower than he is

[ChiefMojo]

True but Reid has proven to be good for a long time. He just ran his time out at Philly. One gets to a point they need a change in scenery.
