Mini Max Anderson Fan Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Andy Reid's name has already started being thrown around as a coach Bills fans want to be the next hc. Well, he has a bad track record with time management AND his love of the passing game (almost forgetting the running game). Seems we just got rid of a coach that does those, why would we want a coach who is the same in that respect. Bills fans would B word about his time management and forgoing the run, just as we bitched about Gailey's lack of time management and pass happy offense.

Dr. Fong Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I think Andy Reid has some personal stuff to sort out before he jumps back into the fray. I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a step back and maybe get a TV job for a few years, maybe be done for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I would like him as HC but I'm not sold on that wide 9 defense. It's porous and weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) I just don't know... Â His track record from the early years is good and he's got a good offensive mind.The sign of a good coach, though, is to get his team to win despite injuries and/or playing with less talent than the opposition. He hasn't done that very well. Â It took four years to get his elite team to the Superbowl, when they were in the NFC Championship game each of those years (three of which at home). His team underachieved since then, outside of 2008 when McNabb had his last hurrah and *almost* got them to the big game. During those elite years, the defense was run by Monte Kiffin, then the late Jim Johnson...both great defensive coaches. Â With his family issues going on and how he (I believe) is also the GM or has plenty of power in the personnel area, his team significantly took a step back. If he wants to coach again now, I'd pass on him. For his sake, I hope he takes a year off and gets everything straightened out.

Green Lightning Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Let's get a coach that can build an offense around CJ. Balance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The key to Reid's success was hiring Jim Johnson to be his DC. It's not a coincidence eagles best years were when Johnson was there and team struggled after he was forced to retire  Reid is also more pass happy then Gailey and even worse at clock mgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOOOOOOOOOOO to Reid. Great guy, but not a great coach unless surrounded by talented D coorindators. Need someone like Cowher (I know it won't be him, "like him") who can build the team around the running game while letting the rookie QB develop. If rookie QB turns out not to be good, trade a ton to get Johnny Football next year. Or go Redskins style and draft 2 rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The only rubbish was you're post....he has a reputation of disregarding the run and becoming pass happy. I have watched the Eagles for years now (eldest son is a fan) and he DOES in fact do this. Just because you are ignorant of the facts proves you shouldn't have posted on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you thought it was maddening to see Chan not use Spiller...go watch Eagles games and how much Reid ignores McCoy. Even when he had Westbrook he didnt run it enough. Westbrook was so dangerous because he was a passing weapon as much as a running weapon. This would probably be one of the worst choices the Bills could make. Luckily, its all but certain he will be headed to SD or maybe Dallas if Garret is fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwight in philly Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 i think he would be an upgrade over williams, mularkey, jauron and gailey. however, he is not much better in game mgmt than gailey, that being said, he would attract the cream of the crop in assistants.. living here for a few years, i have seen him take lots of unfair shots by the most fair-weather of all fans..

White Linen Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 You guys don't think Brian Westbrook flurished under Reid? I think that's an absolutely perfect way to use Spiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
