The Eagles were strong favorites to reach the Super Bowl after winning the NFC East title last year and adding several accomplished players in the offseason. But they started 1-4 and were 4-8 before closing out the year with four consecutive wins against non-playoff teams. “This was, without question, the most disappointing season since I’ve owned the team,” Lurie said. “It’s completely unacceptable. ..." Reid is the longest-tenured coach in the NFL. He’s led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six division titles, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl loss in 13 seasons. Lurie said he considered Reid’s track record, both long-term and short-term, and his intangibles when deciding to keep him. “Andy Reid not only has the love of his players and their respect, but he also has the fire in his belly to be the best,” Lurie said before adding Reid will decide whether to make changes on his staff. DC Juan Castillo’s job could be in jeopardy, especially with former Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo available.
