Jeremiah Trotter played a total of seven seasons for Andy Reid in three different stints with the Eagles. And he thinks he lost a lot of games because Reid got out-coached.
“If it came down to both teams were even, talent-wise,*I think the opponent’s team would win if it came down to coaching,” Trotter said on 97.5 The Fanatic, via Philly.com. “Andy Reid got out-coached in a lot of games, man, a lot of big games,” Trotter continued. “Time outs, running the football, you know.”
Trotter said Reid’s offensive style made things different for the defense and the late defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who ran the defense in Philadelphia until his death in 2008.
“As a defense, we understood we passed the ball too much. You know, there’s times we’re sitting over there like, ‘Man, listen. Just get us a couple of first downs so we can get a break.’ And I’m sure it frustrated Jim Johnson also,” Trotter said
Still, Trotter acknowledges that he won a lot of games during his time with Reid, and he says he would have given Reid a 7.5 or 8 on a scale of 1-10. I shudder to think what he’d say about a coach who was a 1.
Good coaches don't get out coached in a lot of games. [Reply]

Well, it is CP, and this guy is making a huge surge in attempting to over take Sweet Daddy and C.E. in terms of market share of retarded negativism.
He's really putting forth a monumental effort in that regard. [Reply]

It's unfortunate that a true Ignore function doesn't exist.
FTR, I'm all good with discussion but continually spamming the forum and trolling hour after hour and day after day is annoying. [Reply]

I don't believe you understand, so I'll lay it out, so you can play it out:
The rest of the season means shit until the next game with Denver. Denver was the litmus test, and Lil' Chiefy failed miserably. Hell, I was even rooting for retarded Lil' Chiefy to finally make hay. Did not occur.
The majority of this upcoming stretch, minus GB, is roughly the equivalent of patting oneself on the back if victory occurs.

I could see how people would go nuts if he had called and end around featuring James O'Shaunessey or Frankie Hammond. But Reid put the ball in the hands of his best offensive player and that player failed to execute.
Let's not pretend like Reid didn't do the smart thing. And for those of you that counter with "play for OT", which would have been foolish against Manning anyway, as Reid said, he played to win the game.
Reid said he gave it to Charles because he is the best running back. Yet he didn't let him run it on the five and instead tried to out think Denver and got in his own way.
Reid has a lot of great qualities as a coach. But whether this game is evidence or not, there really doesn't seem much doubt that Reid struggles mightily to manage a clock and a game. It's happened his whole career.
The whole "he is either a great coach or a terrible coach" is a joke. He has strengths and weaknesses. The clock is an F, and game management is poor as well. The turnovers, and DROPPED turnovers were outrageous, but Reid could have done a lot better. [Reply]

Game management is arguably a coach's biggest GameDay role.
If a Head Coach is not a good game manager, then by proxy, he isn't a good head coach.

If it had worked, he would have looked brilliant but it didn't, so he's a goat.

I think most coaches struggle with clock management. It's just usually less evident with a Hall of Fame QB like Brady, Manning, Bree's or Rodgers. [Reply]
