The Philadelphia Eagles season has been a series of disappointments, with head coach Andy Reid shouldering the most of the blame. The Eagles’ 4-10 record has fueled talks that Reid’s 14-year tenure with the team may be coming to an end at the conclusion of the season, but running back LeSean McCoy backs his coach 110 percent.
“I guess people have their own opinions, their minds are made up. The thing about the team is, we know how good a coach he really is,” McCoy said. “Whatever happens happens, but I’m behind coach Reid 110 percent. It’s the players he’s brought here together to play, they weren’t a good enough group … I don’t think he should get blamed for the turnovers they caused or the blown (coverages).”
Phiily.com reports McCoy thinks Reid is receiving the blame for things that are out of his control.
“If you sat here and tried to name 5 to 8 coaches that’s better than coach Reid, I would like to hear it,” McCoy said. “Coach Reid’s a good coach. He gets blamed for everything. Sometimes you break down the film, break down the plays and the mistakes, how do you fault the coach for that?”
