He then became the assistant offensive line and tight ends coach in 1995, assisting in leading the 1996 team to a Super Bowl XXXI victory against the New England Patriots. In 1997, he was named the Packers’ quarterbacks coach taking the place of Marty Mornhinweg, who went on to be the offensive coordinator for his predecessor in Green Bay, Steve Mariucci. Steve initially wanted Andy to be his offensive coordinator in the 49ers, however, the Packers’ head coach hindered the move.

Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles president Joe Banner asked other teams’ general managers for names of coaches whom players complained to be detail-obsessed as he was looking for a new head coach. Andy came for his interview with a five-inch thick book on how he would run the team. On January 11, 1999, the Eagles hired Reid, and he was the second-youngest head coach in the league after Jon Gruden. He was also the first to become a head coach as a quarterbacks coach without any coordinator experience.

Reid was named the executive vice president of football operations of the Eagles, immediately making him the team’s general manager in 2001. However the team had someone with the title of general manager after 2005, Tom Heckert from 2005 to 2010, and Howie Roseman from 2010 till Reid’s departure, but Reid still had the last word on football matters

Andy Reid Early years

In 1999, the Eagles hired Andy as their head coach. The Eagles drafted dual-threat quarterback Donovan McNabb in the first round with the second overall pick. However, Reid started former Packers backup Doug Pederson for the first nine games of the season. The team improved their record by two games to finish 5-11 in 1999. The five wins were the team’s first road win in 19 games, a 20-16 road win against the Bears on October 17. They then posted an 11-5 regular-season record and got their first playoff game since the 1995 season in 2000, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Philadelphia on New Year’s Eve.

Andy’s team won the first of four consecutive National Football Conference’s Eastern Division titles in 2001, This was the longest such streak in franchise history and they advanced to the conference championship game in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, losing this game on the first three occasions. The 2003 team qualified for postseason play after opening the season with two losses, both at home.

It was the first NFL team ever to reach the conference title round of the playoffs after having been shut out at home on opening day. In 2004, the Eagles were the second NFC East unit to defeat all of its division’s opponents twice during the same regular season. They got the NFC No. 1 seed with a 13-1 record and went on to rest their starters for the final two games. Following three straight NFC Championship defeats, the team defeated the Falcons by 27-10 and made it to Super Bowl XXXIX but lost 24-21 to the Patriots.

Andy Reid 2005-2006

Reid faced a difficult season in 2005 as he was not ready to deal with wide receiver Terrell Owens’ flamboyant persona. This forced Reid to permanently deactivate him midway through the season. After several weeks quarterback, Donovan McNabb suffered a season-ending injury, leaving the Eagles without the services of their two-star players. They lost eight of their final ten games and completed 6-10. On the other hand, with the team’s third win of the season 23-20 victory over the Raiders, Andy surpassed Greasy Neale to become the winningest coach in franchise history.
In 2006, the Eagles enjoyed a rollercoaster campaign under Reid.

However, the season seemed lost by October with another season-ending injury to McNabb changing a 4-1 start into a mid-season breakdown leaving the team 5-5. Following a heartbreaking 45-21 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, the team was on the edge of elimination from the playoffs. Reid then coached backup quarterback, Jeff Garcia, and the 5-6 Eagles, to win over several NFC opponents such as the Panthers, Redskins, Giants, and Cowboys. The Eagles won the NFC East division title at 10-6 and an NFC Wild Card game against the New York Giants. They ended their season under the rival New Orleans Saints team in the NFC Divisional Round.

Andy Reid 2007-2011

Andy led the Eagles to an 8-8 season with no appearance in the postseason in the 2007 season. His 9-6-1 team was able to knock down the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Giants in the 2008 season in the divisional game. This led them to a fifth NFC Championship game, losing to the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 32-25. Reid coached the team to a 30-21 victory in the 2009 Pro Bowl, however, they then lost Jim Johnson, the defensive coordinator for Reid’s whole career. Reid failed to win a first-round post-season in his career in the 2009 season, with his 11-5 team being eliminated by the Cowboys by 34-14 in the Wild Card Round.

Through the offseason, the Eagles exchanged longtime starting quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Redskins. In the 2010 season in Week 2, Reid named Michael Vick the starting quarterback of the Eagles. He led the team to a 10-6 record in the regular season and made it to the playoffs. The Eagles fell 21-16 against the Packers in the Wild Card Round. He was then named the Earle ”Greasy” Neale Award winner for the third time in 2010. Reid then led the Eagles to an 8-8 season in the 2-11 season without any appearance in the postseason.

Andy Reid 2012

Reid and the Eagles had a hard 2012 season with a 4-12 record, being the worst of his head coaching time. This was also the first time the team missed out on the postseason in consecutive years under Andy. They ended the season with an embarrassing 42-7 defeat to the Giants on December 31, 2012. The Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie revealed that Reid’s contract would not be renewed and it made him the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL before his release.

He accomplished the best win total (120), winning percentage (.609), and playoff win total (10) in team history. He won six division titles and five trips to the NFC Championship game. At this time, no other franchise received more divisional playoff round appearances (7). Only Bill Belichick‘s Patriots exceeded Philadelphia’s (5) conference championship game appearances with (6). Despite all the success, Reid was not able to lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl title. Their first Super Bowl would later be won by Doug Pederson who worked under Andy as a player and coach. Andy sent 19 players to 44 Pro Bowl appearances, the highest total for any team in the NFL within that time. None of the players had ever appeared in a Pro Bowl before Reid was hired.

However, after a week the Chiefs hired John Dorsey, as general manager, he previously worked with Andy in Green Bay as an assistant.
