Andy Reid and Carolina, match made in heaven?

[rayzor]

better than rivera? yes. the best option available? not likely.

i don't want to settle for just "better than rivera". that's still setting the bar too low. as someone just a little earlier said it sounds like settling.

but again, tho, it's highly likely that he will take a break from coaching and football after he's fired to recover from the last few years. he'll probably want to focus on his family, so this whole discussion is probably an exercise in futility.

as a side note, i have very little doubt that if he retires or steps away from the game there's going to chihuahua brained people thinking that it's a sign that he'd rather retire than coach the panthers. that's probably true, but it would be just as likely true if you put any team in place of panthers. it wouldn't be anything personal against the panthers, but it would be personal.

I like it but i would rather have a traditional prostyle offense that is pkysical and utilizes the run game. i guess Im old school but i love the zone blocking scheme and the playaction that come from it. imagine Cam in Houston...

[The Huddler]

Cam needs a run game... simple.

[chknwing]

I'd sign up for it in a heartbeat. He's never won a SB, so I assume he's still hungry whereas I'd worry Cowher was just doing it for a paycheck.

He would make us an offensive force. He's a players coach. The dude is a winner. Sign me up.

So hes never won a Super Bowl but hes a winner? How does that work again?

[Bj-Monster23]

We never won a super bowl. Shoot, we never had back to back winning seasons. poo, back to back winning seasons we can't win back to back games. We are fugged.

[broseidon]

I'll go along with him being OC

[Guest Pablo Honey]

Reid actually wouldn't be all that bad.

I just really want a younger more energetic coach.

[MrBubba]

He's good coach but has gotten weird lately, with his DC hire last year; and the last few weeks in Philly he has made the Panther's look like a well run organization

[mmmbeans]

this team isn't built to do anything remotely resembling what reid likes to do.

[BadMoonRising]

Reid would be a fantastic choice, terrific game planner, excellent game manager but I would not be surprised if he took a couple a seasons off to spend time with his family. Most his issues this season can be attributed to his family life.

[rayzor]

do those who are saying it would be a good move even care or think about reid's style of offense not being a good fit here and with cam?

[Raskle]

No rayzor, it's what you said earlier: He's been around a while, he's won his share of games, he's a household name - IE: To them, he'd be a good replacement here.

Personally, I'm with you - his style would not mesh at all with what we've built up with Cam et al. Now, there's something to say that as we've never had back to back winning seasons, maybe it might be time to change up from the Air Coryell offense, but then we'd truly be in rebuilding mode. Not to mention, we've just flushed Cam's early career down the toilet, until he could latch on with a team that could use his skillsets.

But hey, Andy would be Dandy, amirite?! *smh*

[Makish]

No look at the stuff he let Washburn get away with

[TheMaulClaw]

Andy Reid has just had a tough year. It's only natural for your professional career to take a back seat for a little while if your son dies. His coaching miscalculation came when Vick officially turned old this year.
