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?"

More Coaching Candidates for Jags

It has been reported that the Jacksonville Jaguars are in pursuit for their next head coach. The organization will be interviewing Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Murlarkey and his counterpart from the New York Jets, Brian Schottenheimer.

ESPN Insider Adam Schefter has said that the Jaguars will also interview New England Patriots OC Bill O'Brien, along with Denver Broncos OC Mike McCoy. The interim coach for the Jaguars Mel Tucker will be interviewed as well as Carolina Panthers OC Rob Chudzinski.

Nearly all the men listed come from an offensive background, which means the Jaguars seem to be leaning toward more of an offensive approach opposed to the past two head coaches of the Jags—Tom Coughlin and Jack Del Rio.

Big Things are Coming.

Yates Ready to Play this Saturday?

Despite the fact that Houston Texans quarterback T.J. Yates left the game last Sunday against the Titans with a shoulder injury, it appears that Yates will be ready to play next Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals in the franchise's first playoff game.

It is said that Yates suffered a separated shoulder, but should not affect his play tremendously. He went 4-4 for 47 yards on a TD drive after suffering the injury on the first play, proving that the injury is not as drastic as it seems.

The injury was related with Yate's non-throwing shoulder, and all sources Sunday said Yates could have returned to the game but decided it was not necessary.

The Texans are currently on a three-game losing streak entering the playoffs, but hope to earn a W when it counts the most.

Adelman not Ready to Start Rubio

Ricky Rubio of the Minnesota Timberwolves has played well throughout the first four games of the 2012 NBA season, but coach Rick Adelman still has no plans to start Rubio.

Adelman says he is still evaluating the team and Rubio will have his minutes, but that these things happen over time. As of right now, the Timberwolves are just trying to acquire a winning record.

As of right now, Luke Ridnour is the starting point guard and will continue to maintain that position until Adelman decides to make a change.

Rubio is averaging 9.5 ppg, 7.3 apg and 4.3 rpg in his rookie season in the NBA. With more positive play, it may be inevitable that Rubio will become the starting point guard for the Timberwolves—only time will tell.

Falcons Sign Tony Gonzales to a One-Year Extension

Tony Gonzales signs a one year $7 million extension.

The Falcons have announced that they have signed tight end Tony Gonzales a one-year extension worth $7 million. According to a league source, Gonzales's contract was set to expire at the end of the 2011 season, so it was imperative another deal was created. Ever since Gonzales was traded from the Chiefs to the Falcons he has scored 19 touchdowns with his 232 receptions. Gonzales trails only Jerry Rice on the all time NFL receptions list with 1,148 catches, and has a total of 95 touchdown catches. He has seven touchdown receptions on the year, and will be interesting to see how much energy and durability Gonzales will have left for yet another season.
