So of course he's going to bring Favre into the discussion.

Favre on Reid:
“I do remember when Steve(Mariucci) left, Mike(Holmgren) called me in the offseason, and he said, ‘Look, I just want you to know, I’m going to make Andy Reid our quarterback coach.’ And, honestly, my first thought, was, ‘Aw, you gotta be kidding me.’ I say that, and I liked Andy. I liked Andy a lot. But Andy was a grinder. It was like he didn’t have any fun.
“Now, when he took over as my coach, we had a blast. We grinded, but it was not what I envisioned. We had a lot of fun. He was extremely bright. He didn’t play quarterback. He played the line at BYU. But he knew the quarterback position in and out. I was very impressed. And when he left it was difficult. But I was around so many good coaches, and a lot of young ones. I was just so lucky to have these coaches at that time of my career that really thought along the same wave length as I did. ”
