Andy stuck around long enough to get the QB he needed to be great. He's been an elite play caller his entire career but it took getting away from McNabb and the old NFL rules to finally be acknowledged.That’s on coaching if guys don’t know the overtime rules. But some of these players aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed at times. Hell I remember back in 08 the eagles and bengals played a game that ended in a tie. I want to say it was McNabb who told the media after the game that he didn’t even know games could end in a tie.
As for Kyle Shanahan. He’s a good coach. But his repeated track record of blown big game leads and late game management is a legit blotch on his resume and something he has to wear. It’s also something that makes any coach ultimately be on the hot seat after a while. It’s not just limited to him. Andy Reid got dragged after the Eagles lost 3 straight nfc championship games (2 of them at home), he got a torn a new one after some horrible clock management in the 4th quarter of the eagles patriots Super Bowl. He was getting crap for some of the pre Mahomes chiefs teams blowing big leads and losing games at home in the playoffs as well. It’s the nature of the game.
