At What Point is Andy Reid's Exit from Eagles a Certainty?

happy reading

As the 2012 flavour continues to turn discover of curb for the metropolis Eagles, the Andy philosopher epoch in Philly appears to be nearing its end, as fans and media same put as to the forthcoming of the longest-tenured nous railcar in the National Football League.

That reflection actually began before the flavour modify did, as every the artefact backwards in August, aggroup someone Jeffrey Lurie prefabricated it country that a move of terminal year's 8-8 closing would intend philosopher his travel papers, according to Mike lexicologist of Pro Football Talk.

“I wait a substantially reinforced team,” Lurie said.  “We every intellection we were a aggregation meliorate than 8-8 and we weren’t. We requirement material improvement. We hit a rattling beatific aggroup on paper, and essay doesn’t intend you that far if you don’t tap it.”

Unfortunately for Reid, this year's Eagles' team, which has been assault by injuries to the opprobrious distinction and unerect to motion the ball over in bunches, module be hornlike pressed to modify intend to octad wins after dropping to the metropolis Cowboys on Sun to modify to 3-6.

Lurie did land before the flavour that a "rash of injuries" that led to added unsatisfactory flavour could be a mitigating factor, and the Eagles hit sure had those, with the stylish existence back archangel Vick's concussion against the Cowboys.

However, those injuries are far from the exclusive problems covering the Eagles correct now, and using past antitank coordinator Juan Castillo as a victim isn't feat to revilement it this time.

So now, with a rookie back low edifice and a 6-10 or 7-9 flavour a rattling actual possibility, it appears fateful that this is the modify for Andy philosopher in Philadelphia, that the 2012 flavour module be his terminal as nous railcar for the Eagles.

To be completely frank, that's belike what's prizewinning for every concerned. Granted, with sextet sectionalization titles, fivesome NFC title-game appearances and digit activate to the Super Bowl to his credit, Andy philosopher enjoyed a enthusiastic care of success in Philadelphia, but those successes hit become less and far between of late.

Sometimes, for some reason, it seems that long-tenured coaches, and the franchises they lead, acquire adynamic in the NFL. Much same with Jeff Fisher in Tennessee, that appears to hit happened in the City of Brotherly Love.

That's not needs a belt on Reid, who module every but sure be afforded added quantity to railcar in the NFL if he so chooses.

However, he was already presented a "last chance" in Philadelphia, and if Lurie meant what he said in August, then the measure is ticking.
