Assume all you want, the fact is the title of this thread is should he step down, so I am not condemning him the thread itself is saying that in the title, why should he step down? The thread is asking people to judge the situation, maybe it should have been a simple yes or no pole? The fact is he is either the problem, or he isn't, either way explain how quiting will help? I am assuming you have a problem with everyone who says he should step down on this one because asking him to step down is essentially saying he ain't getting the job done as a parent and should spend more time trying to get it right wouldn't you say?



Yea yea, we have heard it all, there's plenty of studies that prove other wise, teach your kids from an early age how to live, and act, and when they get older they wont part far from it, a parent BY Far has the greatest influence on his child's life, peer groups have more influence on a child when the lack of parental guidance does not provide them with a proper foundation and structure in their lives, so spare me all the hippie liberal nonsense designed to take responsibility away from every one so we can all sleep at night. Please. The amount of time spent with your children isn't as important as the quality of that time that is spent with them!

In response to the first paragraph I gathered from the tone of your post that you were condemning his parenting. If that's not the case I retract what I said. It seems a lot of people have been doing that and I think they should back off Reid, because they know nothing about what goes on in his house. Maybe he's a bad parent but my point is we don't know and can't know. So sorry if I misunderstood you.

In response to your second paragraph, I agree. All academic studies are nonsense, cooked up by hippies, and to cite them is also evidence of hippie sympathies. Everyone knows that kids are bad because the parents screwed up. Academic research to the contrary is really part of a liberal conspiracy to help people sleep, because you know liberals love coffee and they drink it so much they have insomnia. If I'd known I was picking a fight with a genius I never would have responded to your post. Please go easy on me professor.

I don't want to condemn Andy Reid. He's a damn fine football coach, but I don't know a thing about him as a parent. None of us here know the ins and outs of his realtionship with his sons. They f-ed up big time, but I don't think that should immediately be a condemnation of his abilities as a father. The Reid sons are grown men- 23 and 24 years old. We're not talking about 16 year olds here.

As far as Andy Reid stepping down- No. Why now? His sons are both going to jail for possibly 23 months. What's he gonna do, quit the Eagles and sit on his couch and wish his sons weren't in the clink? If he needed to take time off to deal with family issues, that time has come and gone.

Bigtime football coaches aren't the best dads just because of the whack schedule they have, especially during the season. This is the same kind of situation when Dungy's son committed suicide to a certain degree. Dad isn't around, all hell breaks loose or problems go unchecked, then a tragedy occurs. Reid's kids need to go behind bars and get a nasty reality check though. Their dad isn't going to be able to help them if he was truly clueless as to all those drugs that were in his house. I think he needs to step down though just to get his own house in order and be able to get his sons on track if possible. He has pretty much reached his zenith with the Eagles anyway.

I couldn't agree more--you hit it right on the head. And you said the exact same thing as Peter King said yesterday morning on sports radio up here in NYC.

Minus the "f-ed up" comment...

Sure. And I should step down from my teaching job because my eighty one year old mother wrote a bad check. I'm also thinking of stepping down because my daughter is bipolar and my dogs sometimes get out and run the neighborhood.

Andy is getting piled on but what about their mother?

Honestly though, parenting is a skill and one that aught to be exercised when your children are young. It's unfortunate that the Reids didn't.

I dont think Reid should have this stuff thrown at him. At that age, their sons should be able to make smart decisions. Bad timing too, they have all this commotion right before the Dallas game.

Just because these are Reids ADULT dumb ass kids that should know right from wrong, and don't. Alot of breakdowns have happened along the way, is this all his fault the kids are drug dealers and proud about that.....not hardly.

Are himself & wife partially to blame, of course.

IMO he will step down or be fired at the end of this season when the eagles finish last in the division, and the eagles start the rebuilding process without him.
