You mean the same eye for talent that:
*** Signed Vick when no one wanted him
*** Has one of the youngest rosters in the NFL yet won a division with it
*** Managed to survive the loss of major defensive contributors by finding SEVENTH ROUNDERS at several positions who have held their own?
*** Have offensive stars at both WR positions and the RB position who are 22, 22 and 24 years of age?
*** Who found a stud defensive tackle in Dixon who can replace the inconsistent (and expensive) Bunkley?
Again I'll say it...give me a coach that's a) available and b) is a better fit for the job.
And why do the Eagles have the youngest roster in the NFL? Perhaps if the "same eye for talent" had drafted better from 2007 thru 2009 then he wouldn't have to have to rely on 7th round rookies holding their own? He had 26 draft picks those 3 years, and maybe 10 are on the roster still. Those are the drafts that should be providing players who are ready to step up now and contribute as young veteran players developed professionally in Andy's "system", whatever that is. Instead we now have 12 rostered rookies and 4 more on IR. Perhaps had he not gotten "cute" the last couple years and traded up and down to target players and outsmart other GMs we wouldn't have to rely on all these rookies? In 2009 he trades out of the 3rd and 4th rounds altogether and winds up taking a TE with a blown knee. There wasn't anyone available in the 3rd or 4th that didn't have a shredded knee? Yeah, he outsmarted everyone including himself!
Wait, is this the same "eye for talent' that tried to start a veteran DT at FB and a downhill skier at kick returner (each with no other backup plan to boot)?
Yes, he has had successes, you clearly pointed to those. However he's also had abysmal, stupid and embarrassing failures at every facet of the game, and not just personnel...failures that an 11 year HC/personnel guy should NOT be making.
As for a coach who's available and is a "better fit" for the job, well you are right as the Eagles "job" is probably more like 2 or 3 jobs. So yes, it would hard to find a good fit if all those hats are to be worn as they currently are. However there are plenty of qualified coaches/personnel types out there in the college and pro ranks. Andy himself was a little known QB coach before hired here. Plus it's not like Andy Reid is all that is keeping the Eagles from going 3-13 for the next decade. We'd hardly be doomed if another coach were handed this Eagles team.
you admit the possibility of Chicago losing once in your first scenario, but not in the second?
hilly as a 2 seed.

After the second 3 and out and watching Vick get T-boned from Winfield, you would think the Eagles would slide coverage or start picking up the blitz. The Vikes blitzes obliterated any semblance of a passing attack the entire game. Where were the adjustments? I saw sliding protection late in the game, but the first half had minimal adjustments.In addition, the way the Vikes secondary was covering, we should have adapted to a shorter passing attack. We did it for one series where we actually had a decent pass-rush balance. Then went away for it again for the homerun swings. Just don't understand it. We just gift wrapped the bye week to Chicago. Merry Christmas.

The same "fat man" that just won 10 (or more) games, another division title, and sports the best overall record AND the best December record of anyone not named Bill Belichick?
