My point is that they both have a similarity you don't seem to recognize, in that "environment" extends far beyond the father and the home in both cases. If you read the thread, you'd learn he's the owner of the station. He ain't gonna fire himself. I like the "steely resolve" descriptive though. Ever since Apollo 13 book came out, I've secretly wanted to be a "steely eyed missile man". He's not the sole owner, is he? I think the Kansas City Chiefs are most definitely, absolutely, going to fire this guy from his show. The heat the Hunt family and Chiefs fans can bring is more than enough to get the job done.

Alphadawg7 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Couple of points: 1. He isn't necessarily wrong about Andy as a head coach. Most Eagle fans I know will echo the same thing. He hasn't been a coach that seems to be able to get over the top and has struggled with managing players in both Phi and KC. His best traits are offensive play design. Doesn't mean he is a bad head coach, but he is kind of like Mike D'Antoni in the NBA where if his offense gets stalled, he won't have a lot of answers or overcome it. 2. As a journalist, bringing his family and the tragedy of his son is not only over the line, but total bush league and a fireable offense in my book. He has NO INSIGHT what so ever on his son's drug addictions. To include that into a discussion about Andy's ability to lead a football team is inexcusable. I know plenty of good people who were good parents that saw some of their children fall into alcohol or drug addiction. And some of them beat those addictions, and others did not. Just because a child falls victim to this does not automatically equate to it being a failure of the parent. I think this kind of lazy reporting where he takes a shot at his family life should face some serious repercussions. Its just doesn't belong in a story like this.

Gutless pukes who literally accomplish nothing and just crap on actual successful people. And for as great as you get paid, I think coaching kinda sucks. Andy Reid is in the top 5% of the top 5% in his profession and gets ? because he hasn’t won a SB. I know Reid has accomplished a lot more than that dork. And the amount of time you spend away from your family doesn’t seem worth IMO. So good coach not a great parent? Can you categorically list each accomplishments of the these 2? Besides a ton of regular season football games, what else has Reid accomplished? Not football related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One path is to try to amplify your talent by taking risks on guys with black marks and hope that by surrounding them with disciplined good citizen teammates and coaches, they'll "fly right". Underneath the Richard Head remarks, the radio dude's point is that Reid's history as a coach does not give him great odds of success, and he's probably not wrong.

Augie Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I doubt many people could see this as a bigger mess than I do, but I wouldn’t want he guy to lose his job over it. Sure, it was an awful thing to write or think. Use it as a teaching moment. He can feel a little pain, but let him keep his liveihood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
