Philadelphia Eagles Future Dimming By Going Conservative And Conventional

Head Coach Andy Reid was the right man for the right job. When the Philadelphia Eagles fell so far that the team had the second pick in the 1999 NFL draft it was Andy Reid who guided the team to select him from a pool of noteworthy quarterback talent in that draft.

He also made it a point to sign the only defensive coach that gave him fits on offense: Jim Johnson.
