Could Andy Reid be the next coach of the Cowboys?

Many of the Eagles fans I know have an illogical disdain for Reid. It is similar to the Cowboys fans that think Romo is the source of all of the Cowboys problems.

Agreed that Reid doesn't like running the ball.

I don't want Reid here. If he couldn't win in Philly with the players he had there, what makes anyone think he can win in Dallas?

Because in Dallas you make him hire a offensive coordinator as part of
his staff when he signs the agreement to be the next head coach,

Reid may be better than JG, but that's not saying much. I'd rather have Payton.

We had Payton back when Parcells was the head coach and I was unimpressed
with him then not sure if I'd want him back now

to me that would be like rehiring Dave Campo to be the head coach

TC, why would you want a HC who is just barely over .500 in the playoffs? This doesn't make sense to me.

Barely over or not he's established 2 things in my book

1) he has established concurrent competitive teams that allows them to
be in the playoffs

2) Those concurrent established teams produce wins once in the playoffs

so why in the hell wouldn't I want a guy like that coaching the Dallas
Cowboys????

[ragman]

You overrate him. His teams may reach the playoffs, but he's only reached the SB how many times?

[TexasCowboy]

He's reached it once we haven't even gotten close to that in 17 years personally I'd
like to take a chance and see what he's got to offer?

if it doesn't work out no harm, no foul but it's worth exploring as a option in my book
