Well how about you do a little digging on the subject. Not only is he under to tutelage of a great one that players RESPECT, but he also played the game and had a long career. That right there is something we never had here. After watching this team for a majority of my entire life I know when we're done. I saw coach rip this team apart, I've seen his face when the going gets tough. The players constantly bail him out and if it wasn't for Lamar he'd been fired after the 2018 season. The front office is A1+++ but they dont coach and you'll see. EDC will be looking for another coach this off-season. And if he hires someone like Tony Dungy I'm done with football period.
1. Whether he played the game or not really has nothing to do with whether he's a good coach. There's a long, long, long list of very accomplished players who were total crap as coaches. If you're hanging your hat on that as part of your coaching analysis, then you're doing bad analysis.
2. The whole "under tutelage" thing is overplayed as well, especially when it comes to offensive coaches under Andy Reid. They're just not having much success elsewhere.
Matt Nagy literally followed Reid around wherever he went for 6-7 years, acting as QB coach and OC, before getting a HC gig in Chicago. He's heading for unemployment after three years of world-class bad play calling in Chicago.
Doug Pederson, who actually has a SB ring, has been leading pretty terrible offenses for multiple years now in Philly, and is probably a year away from coaching himself out of a job too. He decided to try to upgrade the offense this year by bringing in a stud like Marty Morhinweg as a critical offensive consultant.
And then there's Pat Shurmur, who's bounced around among like dozens of jobs, rarely staying more than 2-3 years anywhere, and having no real success anywhere either.
Pretty much all of the actual "good" coaches under the Andy Reid tree are on the defensive side of the ball, or are of the John Harbaugh types.
