The Philadelphia Years: A Not-So-Brief History of Andy Reid's Eagles Tenure (with a dash of trivia)
Ah, Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles. A match made in...well, let's just say it wasn't exactly rom-com heaven, but it sure was an eventful (and cheesesteak-fueled) era for Eagles fans. But how long did this coaching bromance last? Let's grab some Tastykakes and delve into the record books, shall we?
The Answer You Came For (Drumroll Please...)
Andy Reid coached the Philadelphia Eagles for a cool 14 seasons. That's right, folks, a full decade and a half of highs (think soaring like a bald eagle... get it?), lows (think crushing defeats... also involving eagles... you get the picture), and everything in between.

Wait, There's More!
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
Here's the real kicker: During his reign, Reid became the winningest coach in Eagles history (don't worry, Donovan McNabb isn't crying, you guys). He racked up an impressive 130 regular-season wins and took the Eagles to the playoffs a whopping nine times. Talk about a glory hole of championships... well, almost. They did make it to Super Bowl XXXIX (against the evil empire, the New England Patriots, of course), but fell juuuuust short. Still an impressive run, Coach Reid!
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
But Why Did It End?
This is where things get a little... messy. Let's just say the 2012 season wasn't the Eagles' finest (think a record of 4-12, ouch). So, after a mutual "hey-it's-been-fun-but-maybe-it's-time-for-a-change" conversation, Reid headed out west to coach the Kansas City Chiefs (and become a Super Bowl champion, but that's a story for another day).
