Andy Reid to Stay with the Eagles

Andy Reid, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, will coach at least one more year with the franchise.

Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie said Reid will return for his 14th season to coach the Eagles, though he is open to changes throughout the coaching staff. Lurie expressed his disappointment with the Eagles overall record at 8-8 (.500 W) and said it was unacceptable.

"This was, without question, the most disappointing season since I've owned the team," Lurie said. "It's completely unacceptable."

The Eagles were favored to reach the Super Bowl and were also known as the "Dream Team," but fell short. They went 1-4 to start the season and were 4-8 before finishing the season with four consecutive wins against non-playoff teams.


While Reid has two remaining years on his contract, Lurie said he doesn't plan on extending it at this point in time. Reid has an overall record of 136-90-1, but has still failed to win a Super Bowl with the Eagles. Do the Eagles truly have what it takes to be the true  "Dream Team?"
