I guess Reid was serious about his assistants

bobbyinlondon · January 13, 2006, 03:41:52 AM

After Childress got hired, he did a Q & A and one of the questions was "Did you talk to Andy Reid about bringing some assistants from Philly with you?"

To which Childress replied, "We've been talking about that the last couple of years. He basically said, 'Find your own.' "

Per the Inquirer this morning:

-- You've probably noticed that none of Andy Reid's assistants followed Brad Childress to Minnesota. That's because Reid told Childress he couldn't have any of them. Since all of them are under contract to the Eagles, Childress would have needed Reid's permission to hire any of them, even for a coordinator's job. Reid lobbied hard the last couple of years to help Childress get a head-coaching job. But he always has made it clear to him - just as then-Packers coach Mike Holmgren did to Reid when he took the Eagles job - that he'd have to shop elsewhere for his assistants. Childress ended up hiring Bucs secondary coach Mike Tomlin as his defensive coordinator and Packers quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell as his offensive chief. Childress will handle the offensive playcalling.

u mean our RB coach

nobody was whining about the WR coach last year, weird, he must have done a good job then. i'm sure it has nothing to do with the talent on the roster.

MadMarchHare · January 13, 2006, 08:50:05 AM

What does he do?

Wingspan · January 13, 2006, 09:03:56 AM

maybe no one actually knows where the WR coach is?

So we can expect the Novacare Center to be burned to the ground any day now?

Great...another thing Andy has in common with Holmgren. Now if can just get that Super Bowl ring.

It will be interesting to see how Childress calls the plays and find out if he's better or worse at it than Andy.

rjs246 · January 13, 2006, 11:24:25 AM

I'm guessing better. By a mile.

I really doubt Childress remembers how to call a play.
