Message: <blockquote data-quote="weeds" data-source="post: 990913" data-attributes="member: 39">Back to Andy Reid - Philly, in my opinion, took a flyer. Reid spent one year as QB's coach and the year prior to that was the TE's coach under Holmgren. Back then, this kind of hire for HC was ... shall we say ... aggressive. They rolled the dice and eventually won.The Ray Rhodes hire caused my head to blow up because in 4 years in Philly, he had taken a consistent winner and turned them into something considerably less. There was no chance that the Pack were going to promote Sherm Lewis to HC ... my gawd, could you imagine the screaming if Green Bay had passed over two Afro-American coordinators to promote the QB coach to HC?Rhodes had proven himself an adequate DC but had also proven himself to be a "lacking" HC...he proved it again in GB on his return. Sherm Lewis had a "reputation" which I'm sure Wolf didn't want to gamble on.Fortunately for Philly, Reid grew into the job. He and Holmgren looked like twin walruses ... it used to kill me when they were pictured side-by-side.</blockquote>
