I know this probably isn't the right place to address this issue, but since you brought it up---as much as I would be in the minority, I would NOT fire Andy Reid from the Eagles this year. Unless of course they have a great feeling that Jon Gruden will definitely become the replacement.
Too many times in the NFL we see very successful head coaches with distinguished records whose teams have a bad year or two take all of the blame.
Reid has been the longest tenured current NFL coach and one who has produced on a very regular basis. I understand that it's a "what have you done for me lately" league and job, but firing Reid will certainly not guarantee the Eagles to be any more successful. First of all, they need a reliable QB--not a guy like Vick or a rookie.
I'm sure he'll be fired, but I wouldn't personally be as quick to make that decision as so many others are.
If Gruden is the definite replacement that's one thing. If they are going to hope that someone better than Reid is going to come along, that's a whole different issue that I wouldn't agree with.
