True enough Andy Reid has yet to be fired, but we all know what’s coming. It’s the cycle of coaching in the NFL, Andy and Philly need a change of scenery. Andy needs to return to the pacific time zone where he started his rise to fame in coaching. Philly needs a new face on the sidelines running the show, John Gruden anyone?
Before we get off track talking about Chucky leaving the comforts of the MNF booth for the side lines, let’s look at how natural Andy Reid would look in the Silver and Black. We all know the Dennis Allen era is over in Oakland, and we all know they need a leader who has been there and done that. We also know Oakland is loaded with talent, just like the 49ers were when Jim Harbaugh stepped in and took them from 6-10 to 1 play away from the Super Bowl. Am I saying Andy Reid can instantly turn around the Raiders? YES!!! Will he bring them to the Super Bowl next season? No. What he will do is change the culture in Oakland back to a winning team, back to a team people don’t want to play.
It must also be mentioned that the existing talent on the Raiders suits Andy’s coaching style. No I’m not talking about Palmer or Leinart, think Terrelle Pryor. Think Donovan McNabb and Mike Vick, Andy did great things with these Mobile strong armed QB’s, just image what he could do with Terrelle Pryor and a good Defensive Coordinator.
