Philadelphia Daily News - After 13 successful seasons with Andy Reid, Philadelphia fans have had enough of the coach.

During the team's 38-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, twice fans could be heard chanting "Fire Andy!"

After the game, Reid claimed he didn't hear the chants.

"I didn't hear them," Reid said. "The way we played I can understand it."

Reid has two years and $10 million left on his contract

Eagles Coaches Fight On Sideline During Game

CSN Philly - In the first half of Philadelphia's 38-20 loss to New England on Sunday, defensive line coach Jim Washburn and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg got into a heated verbal exchange on the sideline.

The exchange happened early, when the Eagles still held a lead. While it was brief, the two had to be separated by sideline personnel.

Details of their disagreement were not revealed, but the argument typified the season, which has been all about frustration

I've always thought he was a great coach but when you bring together this type of talent on big $$ that ownership forks out, and the team doesn't perform to it's expectations, the coach has to be held accountable.

Can't blame him for this, but you can't fire the players.

The Eagles are definitely not making the playoffs which is easy to say, but its over for them this year. I also think its time to move on from the Andy Reid era, hes a great coach and has had great success but for some weird reason I dont feel that the team responds to him as much as they used to. The defense is just not the same from what it once was under Johnson. And its evident since he left that the defense has regressed.

I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't fire him at the end of the season. I think they definitely need a change of faces there.
He might be a good coach, but being unable to do anything with the talent they got there..

since we lost JJ and dawkins its been downhill
I completely agree, JJ was the architect and Dawkins was as big of a leader on defense as Mcnabb was on offense. That was a huge loss for them and I think they need a defensive minded coach moving forward when Reid leaves.

Dawkins was the heart of the entire team and we just let him go. we need to draft for positions we need. we should have take weatherspoon instead of brandon graham in the 2010 draft. we dont need THAT many D-lineman.

The fans don't even respect him anymore. I constantly see Philadelphia blogs and fans insult his weight. Its still kind of funny but sad at the same time. Guy has been a great coach for them but 1 year of disappointment and they all turn on him like the Storm Troopers in Episode 3.
