That's easy. While Andy was not great at adjustments, his pre-planning skills were Superior. He had lists , Schedules, everything written down. He was meticulous to details. His First Script plays were always practiced and almost always worked. Management skills.

A decade and a half with one SB appearance and zero rings is not my definition of successful, but to each their own.

Was he really that successful? He never won a SB here and had many chances. Back when he was coaching here the NFC was a joke. We lost to so many bad teams in the NFC Championship. 

He had his strengths but had some unbelievable weaknesses and continued to make the same errors over and over again. Way too stubborn.

This. Also like players I think Andy has grown a lot as a coach from his time here. I follow the chiefs closely and he def has improved his play calling and he does commit to the run when it is needed. Also he does not have control of the personnel in KC and the last 3 or 4 years even his clock management has improved as well. Plus Andy is a champion designer of an offence. Doug is no where close.

Doug has been successful since the Superbowl, particularly in light of the absurd amount of injuries.

Most people don’t raise their game in their 60s. Having the best quarterback in the game of course helps, but I suspect Bieniemy has had more to do with that offense than he’s given credit for.

I think the opposite. If you see Andy's offensive assistants in Nagy and Pederson have the worst offences in football. I think they got jobs as teams thought they were getting another Andy but did not. I would be very interested in seeing Bieniemy as a HC to see how his offences fare in this league.

I think he’ll do well, I also doubt Reid could have done any better than Pederson since the Super Bowl with the injuries this team has sustained. In fact I doubt many coaches could have. People who want to rip Doug seem to just discount the mind blowing unprecedented blue tent BS he’s had to deal with. Its been absolutely insane. I have questions about some of the things I’ve seen this year too, but I am in no way a Pederson critic. He’s done one hell of a job since becoming Eagles head coach and deserves respect.

I think some are having a bit of revisionist history now that we totally suck.

Andy was brilliant during the week as evidenced by his scripted plays but lacked in-game awareness much of the time, refused to adjust, and was bailed out more often than not by a stout defense, a scrambling, improvising QB and a sucko division. He was also very meh when it came to personnel choices and had a particular blind spot toward skill players and linebackers.

I'm in the same boat. I'm just irritated with Doug more than anything else this year. This off season will be telling. I mean hes a smart man and he should know whats wrong with the offence than fans and other peeps on the board. I personally just feel he needs to be hard on his players and on his coaches. I think he needs to be humble and get all the help he needs. Maybe a real young innovative OC would be a good start imho.

DP won a SB in his 2nd year. How many years did it take AR? And it took a powerhouse offense to do so. 

Yes going to 5 straight NFCCG and 1 SB (we were cheated out of) appearance was nice. But if you don't win the SB, you're just a looser like the rest.

Agree with you completely here.

We all said we would rather suck for 10 years and win 1 Super Bowl then go through a Reid era and have success but never win the big one.  
 

Well, we’re living it now.

Reid is an organization leader. He has an exceptional knowledge of the game and was able to pass that information on to others within his organization and empower his staff so that they could be successful in their current and future roles. He has built an NFL offensive philosophy (based on his decades of coaching experience) and is able to identify talent that fits his philosophy and team as a whole.

Yes, I don't think Doug is very good at play-calling, 2017 excepted.  Also, being both a head coach and OC is simply too much in terms of responsibilities and focus, and I think it shows in this team's utter lack of preparation every game.

Andy Reid has two SB appearances, one win, a career winning percentage of over .600, and is 6th on the list of most wins by a head coach in NFL history behind 4 coaches who are already in the Hall of Fame, and one, Bill Belichick, who will undoubtedly be in the Hall of Fame when he retires. But yeah, he's not successful because you still have a grudge against him from 6 years ago. :lol:

The fact that this even needs to be said is a sad in and of itself.
