Jeffrey Lurie set to announce that #Eagles head coach Andy Reid will return for his 14th season in 2012.

So yesterday was about coaches getting fired, and today (at least so far) seems to be about coaches being retained.

Dream Team. 2012. I believe.

It would have been stupid to drop Reid. With all the success he's had, you don't dump him because a team full of free agents didn't come together. (in a year with no offseason workouts)

Andy Reid is a good coach, see if he bounces back in '12.

I have always felt that Andy is a media fabrication. He better get Spags onboard and hope he can replicate what his mentor did for most of Reid's illustrious career... He's had one foot out the door for like 4 of the last 6 seasons...and he manages to win just enough to hang on and rally his media supporters. He'll be gone once Killer is finished, which could be any time now.

Agreed. Reid is a winner. Reid is surviving a transition from a franchise quarterback in McNabb to wherever they go after Vick. Vince "Dream Team" Young? Maybe.

The thing for Jeffrey Lurie is who replaces Reid? You better have a very good answer for that before you dump him.

Smart decision for Philly.

this proves the eagles aren't stupid

But Lurie’s comments make clear that Lurie expects more in 2012. “If I didn’t think next year would be substantially better, I’d be standing up here announcing a coaching change,” Lurie said.

Reid goes to the top of the list of coaches on the hot seat in 2012...

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, pundits outside of Philly think fairly high of Reid. In fact the word was should he have been axed he would have been the leading candidate in San Diego (whenever that opens up)
The mediots in Philly are PO'd that he never answers questions during pressers
