Ex-Eagle Jeremiah Trotter blasts Andy Reid as a coach | Cincinnati.com | cincinnati.com

Ex-Eagle Jeremiah Trotter blasts Andy Reid as a coach | Cincinnati.com | cincinnati.com: "Andy Reid currently is out of a job after being fired by the Philadelphia Eagles, though all indications are that he's close to becoming the next head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Suffice to say, if former Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter was advising the Chiefs (and why would he?), Kansas City might want to reconsider.

Here's what Trotter, who played seven seasons under Reid in Philadelphia, had to say during a roundtable on 97.5 FM The Fanatic radio station, via philly.com: "If it came down to both teams were even, talent-wise, I think the opponent's team would win if it came down to coaching. Andy Reid got out-coached in a lot of games, man, a lot of big games. Time outs, running the football, you know."

Trotter wasn't done there, either."

Chiefs Close To Hiring Andy Reid

Andy Reid’s ’95 percent’ chance seems to have moved from Arizona to Kansas City | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports

Andy Reid’s ’95 percent’ chance seems to have moved from Arizona to Kansas City | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports: "When it comes to CoachWatch rumors before said coaches are actually hired, it's best to heed the advice of the immortal Marvin Gaye: "Believe half of what you see, son, and none of what you hear." This is always a fluid process, and no process has been more so than the one involving former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid. Just a day after every NFL insider seemed to have the Arizona Cardinals as Reid's next destination, it now appears as if Reid is about to become the Kansas City Chiefs' new head coach. He would replace Romeo Crennel, who was fired on Monday, just as Reid was.
SI.com's Peter King notes that the Chiefs interviewed Atlanta Falcons special teams coach Keith Armstrong on Tuesday, which would satisfy the NFL's "Rooney Rule" requirement that a minority candidate be interviewed for every head coaching position."
