No need to fire him till the end of the season unless he requests the firing after tonight... For what Reid as done in Philly over the past decade, it would be a bad decision imo to not wait for the season to be completed before firing him... I mean the guy only missed one week of work when he lost his son this week so it would be classless imo for the Eagles FO to give him the boot after this game...

I think he lasts the season, but hopefully you non-Philly fans can see now why some of us have been saying "Fire the Walrus!"
Yeah, even throughout this season when I said at work that I don't want Reid fired, my coworker who I feel knows more about football than me asked why since he's a good coach. This was a few weeks ago. That said, he's gotten a lot from offenses that I don't think were that great. Eagles fans always ragged on both Reid and McNabb. With scrubs at WR that McNabb had for much of his career and the relative success he's had on offense, one or the other was very good.
He will last the season. He's earned that much goodwill with the team to leave with his honor. What is to gain with firing him now and appointing an interim coach?
What could another coach possibly do now anyway, get you a worse draft pick?
The consistent factor of all of your dissatisfying relationships and failures is you.
I think he'll be gone at the end of the season. I think he's worn out his welcome in Philly and had a terrible year personally. I think he could use a new venue and will likely do very well there.
There are a number of places that would love to give Reid a shot.
