Doesn't that week 11 tie with the Bengals seem so far away right now? Back then Andy Reid's approval rating sat at a dismal 8%. It probably would have dipped further after the blowout to the Ravens, but I waited until that week was over until I posted a new poll. That week also included the big win over the Cardinals. In that poll, Andy's approval rating shot up to 30%.
Quite a good rise for Reid, but still a pretty poor rating. Did the big win on the road over the rival Giants change any minds?
Let's find out and feel free to explain in the comments.

Key words "head coach"
as long as hes just being the head coach and leave the playcalling to marty im happy
Wait and see
yomjoseki is absolutely right. We are on a good run now, but Andy was way to stubborn to realize something needed to change after losses to Dallas and Washington…not to mention the bungles. If Andy leaves the play calling to Marty and they stay committed to the run (I mean at least 40-50 percent designed runs) then he earns my vote and just may earn the Eagles a wildcard spot.
By the way, this is my first post on this blog, although I am a long time reader. Thanks for giving such good analysis every day— sites like these should make those A-holes at espn feel pretty guilty every time they go to cash their fat paychecks.
focus on Cleveland Browns -vs- Philadelphia Eagles
the only thing that matters right now is this game -Monday, Dec 15, 2008,
Lincoln Financial Field
i voted no...
beacuse we simply shouldnt be in the position. If we make the playoffs, then i give my approval. But the Bears, Bengals, and Ravens were all games that were lost on coaching decisions IMO

I voted yes...
Simply because the best coaching decision he’s made is to let Marty continue to call the plays. As long as he does that and the team continues to play like they should have, he has my vote. (At least for the rest of this year)
I voted yes
because honestly anytime we beat the Giants, tubby gets a +1 from this guy right here.

my my my how the tables have turned....
i voted yes after voting no the last 2 weeks. The only way Andy should stay though is if the Eagles win the SB.

I said no!
why should he get approval after being soo stubuurn for X amounts of weeks and finally changing the playcalling over to another coach who has more knowledge on coaching an offense
I can't argue with this ... it's tough to approve of someone
for doing something they should have weeks ago but still, I have a soft spot for Andy after all the good times he’s given me.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
I still say no. The team still has a long road ahead of it to make the playoffs. If they win, out he gets a “yes” from me. If the Eagles miss the playoffs, they’ve fallen short of my expectations.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
Btw...
this would be a great picture for “Add a caption”

all I care about
is how fucking amazing that ring looks on Andy’s hand and I want one … BAD!!!!
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
Voted No...
Until the Iggles make the playoffs, I am keeping the ‘Fire Andy Reid’ Sign on the wall in my office.

Some tweaking is in order...
I still think they should bring in a GM and have Andy focus on coaching, and coaching alone. That, and maybe have Marty call the plays. But other than that, I would keep him around, unless they totally tank the rest of the season. I’d like to see change, but I would like to see Andy make the changes. If he’s not willing to do that, though – see ya!

you mean bring in a GM like Tom Heckert
the current Eagles GM ? … I know most people believe that Andy is still the GM but people HE ISN’T … Heckert is. Andy is the EVP of Football Operations, and while this probably seems like the same thing … please stop saying Andy should give up GM … HE’S NOT THE GM.
Sorry Pattison taking my frustration out on you, no malice intended.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
I voted Yes
But, he has to remain committed to the running game to keep my approval. I still want to see him improve upon his time-management and game day coaching decisions. The decision to call a time out to let Akers kick that 51 yard field goal shows me he can manage the game.
We can debate who is the GM and who is making the majority of the player personnel decisions. But, I still think they need to improve upon that. Like I said, how much of that is Andy’s fault can be debated but I have to believe he is a part of the problem.
