Re: Andy Reid or Mike Shanahan? Eagles President takes shot at Shanny

2 - Kyle Shanahan was the OC and had done a good job in Houston as playcaller. If MS was interfering with KS people would have criticized him for that.

3 - Actually a lot of the blue collar (non-diva) players constantly said how MS was doing a great job laying out the rules and expectations clearly.

4 - yeah and he made some good ones too. You take the good with the bad.

5 - I saw a coach who let young talent sit and learn behind established professionals until he thought they were ready to take the field based on their practice and work ethic.

Bottomline I give him a C this year, but the important measure will be how the team responds and plays next year.
All good arguments, but it's not like teams don't get turnovers in a 4-3.
