McNabb - Illusions of grandeur. Lying scum. Overrated. Better than departed incumbent(Campbell)
Shanahans - Illusions of grandeur. Lying scum. Overrated. Better than departed incumbents(Snyder, Vinny, Zorn).

McNabb cost Reid alot of big games...no doubt about it. Seeing this year that a still semi-rusty Michael Vick takes the team to the playoffs when he didnt even start the first couple of games says to me that they definatley have a great chance at a superbowl. Andy Reid is a much better coach and talent evaluator than what people give him credit for.
Plenty of good coaches don't win it all, I think Reid will fall under that category.
I didn't really take this as a shot at Shanahan as much as he's just proclaiming his faith in his own guy. I don't think the intention was to crap on MS's accomplishments necessarily. That said I'm sure MS will be filing this one away.

Andy Reid is a damn good football coach. One thing I like about him is he seems to be able to relate and communicate with his players. They seem to respect him. He knows when to put a foot in their ass and he knows when to lay off. Not to mention he's done great things with Vick and McNabb. I've always liked him a lot. So far, from the one year I've seen from Shanahan, I'm just not that impressed with the guy. Right now, I'm taking Reid over Shanahan.

-McNabb and Reid won a lot of games together and went to 5 NFC Championships and a SB, that's a great run. I think they both have to share some blame for not winning it all.
-Nothing rusty about Vick this year, he was in the MVP hunt for most of it.
-Vick was starting by week 2.

It will not be handed to Shanahan this time, he'll have to earn it. We'll see if he makes the grade.

Andy Reid is a top notch coach. I swear, if he left Philly today and we were without a coach, I'd sign him this afternoon.

Give Reid the Redskins and I think we would see the same ol Redskins IMO. Which one of us if given the choice would chose to coach a team like the Redskins over any other team?
Its going to take a monumental effort to change the Redskins not just a matter of plugging the holes on O Line or anywhere else. Shanny has got to do the impossible, and thus far nobody since Gibbs has been able to win with this team including Gibbs himself on his return. (This list is long)
Reid has had more than enough time and opportunity with the Eagles. No reasonable comparison can be made between them. And Shanny has not been given enough time to change the culture of the Redskins, if he can.
