I, For One, Will Be Rooting For Andy Reid To Win A Super Bowl And You Should, Too*

Listen here – Andy Reid is a great coach and a better man. Facts don’t lie. You should want good things to happen to good people and thus have Andy Reid finally win a Super Bowl. Now, sure, I am specifically speaking to Philadelphia fans in this blog, but unless you are a Titans, SF, Seahawks, or random fake bandwagon fan who grew up in New York/St. Louis/Dallas, you should consider rooting for Big Red to take town the whole damn thing. Why? Well, on an extremely superficial face value, stuff like this:

Now, speaking from a Philly background, we’ve been through a lot with Big Red. A LOT. From him forcing George Hegiman to push a sled a full 100 yards in 90 degree heat in his first training camp, to 5 NFC championship games, to a Super Bowl appearance, to so many other memories on and off the football field, Big Red will always remain apart of Philly. Face it, Andy Reid is the most winning Philadelphia Eagles coach of All-Time. That’s a fact. No, peasants and trolls, just as nobody forced Nick Foles to leave, Philly didn’t run Andy Reid out of town. In 2012, after 14 years and 0 Super Bowls, it was simply time to move on. People seem to forget the Eagles were 4-12 in that season, 8-8 in the 2011 “Dream Team” season, and Andy was making such moves as letting go (now competent Buffalo Bills heach coach) Sean McDerrmott for…nobody…and then after awhile when no adequate replacement appeared he gave the defensive coordinator job to…OFFENSIVE LINE COACH JUAN CASTILLO?!?!?! People forget not only how absurd it was, but how everyone accepted that outrageous personell decision. Juan Castillo was a GREAL OL coach, as well as a person, but putting him at DC to basically replace the legendary Jim Johnson because he played LB in college and “Had his OL pick up blitz schemes well” was simply preposterous. Even so, “Juanita” as Old Hickory Asswipe Jim Washburn called him, wasn’t THAT despicable at DC, but it was clear Andy Reid’s decision making was becoming questionable, if not inept. His coaching tenure had run its course in Philadelphia, and his departure was as amicable as it could be.

Nevertheless, there should be zero hard feelings for Andy Reid from a Philadelphian’s standpoint. Just like Dick Vermeil, he had his chance and success here (as did Terry Francona, minus the success part) and went on to find greatness somewhere else. To each their own. Long live Big Red, and go get that Lombardi. Time’s yours.

*This positive outlook ONLY exists because the Eagles already won a Super Bowl after he left. Can you imagine the Eagles suffering through 14 seasons of that clock management, passing the ball on every single down – specifically vs. teams historically awful against the rush, and millions upon millions of “I have to do a better job” excuses only to have him leave and win somewhere else while we were left with our dicks in our hands?
