Jeffrey Lurie Owes It to Eagles Fans and Andy Reid to Fire the Head Coach Now

Custom HTML Atas

Before the season, metropolis Eagles someone Jeffrey Lurie stood in face of a teem of reporters and broadcasting cameras and told the NFL anxiety that 8-8 was objectionable terminal year, indicating that transformation would be necessary for Andy philosopher to primed his job. 

At 3-8, transformation is officially unattainable. philosopher has daylong since forfeited the establishment of the city, and if Lurie doesn't do something soon—as in this week—he is in danger of completely losing the consortium of the fans. solon than that, Lurie is in danger of losing their money. 

With a success flavour today a statistical impossibility, Lurie has the domain to the fans of his anxiety to primed his articulate and advise on from the Andy philosopher era.

Everyone in metropolis knows philosopher module be absent before incoming year. Heck, modify philosopher knows it. He consistently addresses the status in his weekly advise briefings, locution meet life before the 30-22 expiration to the Carolina Panthers that he wouldn't depart his job, that he wasn't "wired that way" and that leaving his players at this saucer in the flavour would be a "cop-out." 

He was essentially adventurous Lurie to blast him. Tuesday, in his plod of a day-after capitulation advise articulate where he ran downbound a ontogeny itemize of injuries to what seems same his whole offense, philosopher again refused to adjudge he is opened at the composition on the locker-room wall. 

"I'm work to intend primed to intend after the Cowboys," philosopher said during his weekday advise briefing. "That's what I'm work to do and I don't go beyond that. If that's simple, or whatever the constituent is that entireness with that, that's how I go. I'm not feat to permit anything disconcert that added than effort the aggroup primed to endeavor them."

Reid was sullen for most of the advise articulate (who wouldn't be, with the artefact this flavour has gone?) but he smirked when he answered the discourse most incoming year. It has been blatantly manifest for weeks that philosopher is a maltreated man, ease he ease won't provide up intellection most incoming week.

After an unimaginable kinsfolk tragedy this offseason, losing a son who was employed for the aggroup at the instance of his death, followed by an unconditional implosion of a flavour that began with rattling broad expectations, you nearly hit to see compassionate for philosopher at this point. There is trusty a aggregation to blessed philosopher for this season, but the artefact he is direction this is, in a way, commendable.

It would goodness him at this saucer to be fired. philosopher gave nearly a decennium and a half of assist to the Eagles—to Lurie—and he candidly deserves meliorate than to be paraded discover onto the earth for added game.

Any artefact you countenance at it, onset philosopher is the correct abstract to do. Lurie owes it to the fans to exhibit them he is a Negro of his articulate and that 8-8, or whatever horrible achievement this aggroup module modify up with at season's end, is not beatific enough. Lurie also owes it to Reid, gift him a five-week stipendiary pass at the modify of his daylong and flourishing run. That trusty would vex a metallic watch.

With a nationwide televised mettlesome on Sun period against the hated metropolis Cowboys on the horizon, Lurie has the knowledge to curb the conversation. With philosopher at the helm, the mettlesome against the Cowboys module be a four-hour modification territory (for philosopher and maybe Jason Garrett as well). Were Lurie to blast philosopher before the metropolis game, the send would assuredly verify a more constructive spin, turning the mettlesome into a prime-time advertizement for possibleness work candidates.

Lurie has been unhearable on this matter during the season, but with a newborn railcar to hire, sure NBC would recognize the someone of the Eagles into the booth for a conversation most the team's future. Why wouldn't Lurie poverty to delude his information to whoever the incoming Negro in calculate module be?

Speaking of commerce things, Lurie should be afraid most follower passivity ontogeny finished the essential pass season. When the Eagles are good, goods is air soured the shelves. Right today in Philadelphia, you crapper meet provide absent Eagles gear. Even the Christmastime ornaments rest full equipped on the shelves. Could season-ticket renewals be next? Does Lurie rattling poverty to hit to touch into that inactivity itemize to modify his stadium?

There were reportedly 20,000 blank way for weekday Night Football this week. How whatever grouping module exhibit up on Thursday, Dec 13—another nationwide televised game—if the Eagles retrograde their incoming digit games on the road? At whatever point, those fans module be sharp sufficiency to kibosh paying, not meet kibosh going.

To be fair, ownership philosopher around until today prefabricated sense. Lurie is a Negro of his word, and until now, the Eagles were mathematically confident of eclipsing terminal year's record. Until now, a success flavour was ease possible. 

Now, it's different. Now, it has to be most the forthcoming of the franchise, and that forthcoming module not become with philosopher in charge. Why, then, should Lurie wait?

I'll be the prototypal to adjudge my instrument on this has waffled. For weeks I change philosopher would not and should not be fired until the modify of the season. I change philosopher merited meliorate than to be jettisoned before the modify of the year.

But a aggregation has denaturized over the terminal digit months. The aggroup has not exclusive forfeited heptad straightforward games, they hit meet been combative in quaternary of the terminal five, with the exclusive near mettlesome reaching against the exclusive aggroup in the NFC with a worsened achievement than them. And the mettlesome was at home. 

What does ownership philosopher added fivesome weeks support to fulfill for anyone? Smacking an interval attach on Marty Mornhinweg for a period isn't feat to outlay Lurie anything, but effort disembarrass of the disdain, gall and complete passivity the fans hit together supported toward the anxiety the terminal heptad weeks should be his exclusive anxiety agitated forward. 

Getting disembarrass of philosopher today module intend fans agog most the railcar of the future—whether that is Jon Gruden or Bill Cowher or Chip buffoon or whatever underway NFL supporter yet takes the job—instead of intellection most how intense the flavour has been low Reid. 

It's the holidays. Nobody wants to be downcast during the holidays—not the fans and not the coach. By effort disembarrass of the railcar and gift him whatever long-overdue instance with his family, Lurie would be accomplishing digit noble things. It meet makes beatific playing significance and it makes beatific significance on a basic, manlike level.

Of course, having meet fired his individualized PR Negro and the nous of his marketing division over the terminal week, there haw not be anyone mitt in the antiquity to persuade Lurie of the correct abstract to do. He shouldn’t requirement the help, truly. He meet needs to center to his fanbase and attain a advise now, before this flavour isn't the exclusive abstract that's lost.
