Makes sense... Wonder if he can breath any life into Kevin Kolb.

it kind of suprises me that he's not taking a yr off given the issues in his personal life and the amount of time he coached in Philadelphia. he must really love the profession..

there are a lot of things to like about Az.. solid defense, HOF-caliber WR, the QB he drafted in the 2nd rd who's already familiar with the Reid verson of the WCO..

the big negative is the strength of their division- Seattle and SF look poised to be contenders for yrs. Stl improved, they have a good coach and slo multiple 1st rd picks in 2013 and 2014.

I think it's a good move by AZ though.

Someone should hire Wisenhunt too. that guy's a good coach imo. before their QB injuries they were 4-1 with wins against Seattle and NE.

on a sidenote, Reid's dismissal from Philadelphia makes Marvin Lewis the longest tenured coach in the NFL not named Bill Belichick

2 STRAIGHT playoff appearances. THREE out of FOUR years.

He's earned it.

What does the sarcasm smiley look like?

Are you suggesting the Bengals fire him now?

I don't like the guy, but his 'recent' performance does not warrant firing - I can't think of any owner that would fire him.

They should have axed him after 2010 season. That was the most logical time.

 

[flamingrey]

No, just poking fun at the fact that he's lasted this long.

No team in the league would fire him now because unless you're in Cincinnati it's a results league for a coach, but there's also no denying that if Marvin were fired today, the team would be better off tomorrow.

Andy Reid to talk to Kansas City Chiefs before Arizona Cardinals -- sources - ESPN

Interesting.... In a lot of ways, the KC job is more attractive. They have some all-pro type players on the team and the top pick in the draft. Maybe they could rent Vick for a year or two and have a dangerous running attack to go with a decent defense.

Geno Smith will be the #1 pick. They could trade it for more picks, though.
