[QUOTE="theone86"][QUOTE="Bobbles"] Not really, he's pretty dreadful.-Halftime-
He has led his team to being one of the two mostsuccessful teams in the division in recent years, he won the division more times in the past decade than any other team, he's gone to how many NFC CHampionship Games anda Superbowl, and hte Eagles have a winning record and are in playoff contention year in and year out. That's pretty damn good for an NFL head coach, can't think of too many who have done better outside of Bill Belichick.
Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton, Tom Couglin, Tony Dungy, Bill Cowher? I don't CARE about playoff wins and NFC CHampionship appearances. I want to win the Super Bowl. If you don't win the championship, you failed. Period. Mike Tomlin, Tom Coughlin, and Sean Peyton have all only won one Superbowl, and Andy Reid's teams have been more consistent than all of those coaches' in making the postseason and going deep. Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy are retired, and even each of them have only won the Superbowl once, though they were fairly consistent in making the playoffs. Still, that put Andy Reid right in their league as he has had close to as much success as them at keeping their team in contention on a yearly basis. Also, when you look at his winning percentage it's right up there with Dungy and Cowher, so I think you just confirmed that he's about as good as two coaches you just named as successful. Furthermore, when you look at active coaches, which is what I was referring to anyways, you see that he's probably the most successful in the league right now behind Belichick.
As to your last statement, it's pure crap. This is a competitive league and it's hard enough building a team that can make it into the playoffs and beyond. Andy Reid has not only done that, but built a team that can do that on a consistent basis, which puts him in a very select group among head coaches. Furthermore, he's proven he can do that with a lot of moving parts, which is even more of an achievement. Winning the big one is what it's all about, but staying competitive and making the playoffs on a consistent basis is an accomplishment in itself.
