One article on philly.com loaded with speculation about how Andy Reid's demeanor at a press conference gives one columnist the odd feeling that Andy Reid might be back next year and TATE is up in arms talking about if he returns.

Let me put your mind at ease.


He will not be back. Andy Reid will no longer be the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. He may be here in some capacity (extreme long shot), but it won't be as head coach.


These jokers over there need to get you to the site. They do not care about their content, obviously.  They just want a headline that generates hits. Stop acting like a bunch of mindless sheep and stop running with every silly idea they express over there.

I know some of you think you can run over there, read something real quick and come over here and regurgitate it like it's your own and think you're smart. Guess what, you're not. You're part of the problem.

You need look no further than the idiots who are Ok with Andy coming back for year #15 without a Super Bowl.

Sorry,  but this isn't a place where agrees 100%.  That would be boring.  Much more run pointing and laughing at the stupidity of others, especially when it comes to them being ok with Andy-15.  

Bwahahahahahahaha, morons.

There,  I feel better already.

People saying he is coming back is just as dumb as ones saying he isn't. No one knows.

Reid is not coming back. What Reid is doing now is likely a favor to Jeff before he leaves. Andy gets it and he may want to leave also, but he's very close to Jeff and it's not out of the question to think that Lurie has asked Andy to clean up a little. I also wouldn't be surprised if Lurie asks Andys advice on the next HC. This is clearly a very cordial break up.

[forevereagles]

No one but Lurie himself knows what his intentions are at this point. So all the speculations are nothing more than that. And wishful thinking on the parts of those who want an end to the Reid era, as well as those who want it to continue.
Personally for me ( out of no annimosity or  disrespect to Andy ) I think it is time for a change. Both for the teams sake and for Andy's.

I think he is burned out. Even though he would never admit to being such.But who can blame him after 14 yrs of putting up with this media and fan base...always wanting another pd of his flesh.

[voodoochile75]

To be honest, I'm of the mind to let Andy go now. I don't say that out of spite, hatred or any type of negativity. Actually, the opposite.

The improvement on 8-8 is obviously out of the window and Lurie wouldn't be viewed as acting hastily.

Give Andy the time he should have spent with his family when his son died. Get him away from this disaster. Let him go home and think about his next move.

I've said it before, there are a number of ways for the Eagles to save a lot of face by letting Andy go now. It's best for everyone all around the way I see it, including the fans.

I understand what you're saying and where you're coming from, but unless Andy steps down, he should be allowed to finish the season with the Eagles.

I'll bet you are right on with all that.

you are right when it comes to will he or won't he.  The big problem is that folks are Ok with him coming back.

I keep having this feeling (or maybe nightmare, not sure which) that he is "somehow" gaining more power because of all the internal bullISH that none of us know about. (power struggles and all that) For all we know AR could have been the VP of football in name sake alone. He has been under constant pressure since the 05 season. He might have had the power to ok all player decisions. But we don't know anything about how those decisions were pushed on him. Now, don't get me wrong I don't want anything to do with Andy Reid 15. I am just not confident in his departure just yet. I don't know, maybe after the last 14 episodes it has just become a "I need to see it first sort of thing."

But for real... I just have this feeling that we are going to be in for a huge shock at the end of the season. It started with the removal of Banner and Howie will follow at the end of this season. AR will be re take his role as unchallenged VP of football operations, or as the OP pointed out he might be promoted. But at the end of the day, I just have a hard time getting my hopes up for anything involving the Eagles right now. After 24 years I have officially come to understand that whatever we really would like to see the team do, they will do something else. Of course that will almost always be followed by the regular Eagles are great, Andy is great, we are the gold standard crap attempting to sugar coat it for us.

[CountBlah]

I hear ya,  but Lurie has to look at from a business perspective.  How much eagles gear is going under the Christmas tree this year?  How many empty seats(paid for,  but no extra $$$ from parking consessions, etc...) were there on Monday night?   This is only a taste of the pure anger and hatred displayed against the eagles if they are two games under .500 before we even play 8 games next season.

It is not pretty now,  people will go ape-ish if Andy comes back as we do not have a winnig record.  I mean,  now times 1000.  The "Andy coming back is ok with me" folks are somehow not grasping this likely outcome.

[PhillyGreenMachine]

Look, if the Eagles went 8-8 this season because for the prime reason that they had injuries, I would welcome Reid back, but our struggles have been far beyond injuries. Hirings that should never have happened, bad playcalling on offense, midseason firings for no reason, firings to save face, finger pointing, and keeping people that should have been fired 3 years ago are reasons why Andy Reid should go.

[Runtherock]

Why do people feel the need to make definitive statements about something they don't know the answer to? I'll never understand that.

[voodoochile75]

I think Bowles interviewing for the Temple spot speaks volumes about the direction the team is going next season.

[NOTW]

Anyone who wants Reid back next year is just blind.

[pgcd3]

Agreed, let's not get carried away either. The team still isn't good. The 4-wins have been by a total of 6 points and most of the same problems were there yesterday. It was just an enjoyable game which is why I personally keep watching.

[FlyinBrian36-20]

If Lurie offers a new contract Andy better just step down or I'ma slap a b**ch

[voodoochile75]

Now again.

An article gets run that Philly isn't a desirable place to coach and the sheep are running with it.

Why? Philadelphia is not the only team these coaches interviewed or met with.  Why is it all Philly's fault that these jokers didn't have the balls to make the leap or were just getting some free trips and meals out of the thing?

You morons do realize the top coaching candidates are in the playoffs, right? The college coaches weren't necessarily top candidates, they were just the most convenient interviews to get out of the way now. Think for crying out loud. Think for yourself, the rest of us read the articles and know you're just regurgitating their foolishness.
