Andy Reid: Many Records Set, Yet Two Will Always Haunt Him

Andy Reid: Many Records Set, Yet Two Will Always Haunt Him thumbnail

No matter where you go, it is easy to spot a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

They stand with their chest puffed out proud and they can withstand any critical comments made about their beloved Eagles or the city of Philadelphia.

Eagles fans are a special breed. They have the rare ability to sniff out Cowboys, Giants, or Redskins fans and lambaste them with insults that have been known to make grown men either blush or cry.

But once they huddle up with each other, they admit the Eagles really are a sad sight for sore eyes and then these four words are usually uttered: “Andy Reid’s gotta go.”

Truth be told, not every fan has these feelings about Andy Reid, but it is safe to say the majority of the fans feel this way.

But why?

Why, in a city that yearns for winning, do they shun a coach who has the most wins in franchise history?

How can fans who hate Dallas more than out-of-town imitation cheesesteaks be infuriated by a man who is 13-8 against their archrival?

And doesn’t he deserve a ton of credit for turning around a rather dull franchise?

Yes, I am taking a knock at the Eagles franchise for not being all that exciting and for being rather pedestrian.

The Eagles were established in 1933 and success was not their forte.

Actually, winning and the Eagles were rarely synonymous.

The Eagles experienced only 25 winnings seasons between their inception in 1933 and the year Reid arrived, 1999.4
