This is America. Land of the free. If you want to play pretend, you have every right to do so. However, do not expect me to play pretend with you.
Andy is the same guy he's always been. Meaning that he will get you to the big games, he will get you a shot, consistently, but when it comes down to the SIDELINE needing to be great in the key moments, more often than not, there's going to be a gaffe of some sort. The exception to this is the second half of the Eagles Superbowl, which is just the cruelest of irony for Philly fans that watched him squander those rosters during his run there in which he ritualistically did the exact opposite of what he did in that game, multiple times.
He just happened to be gifted the best quarterback to ever live, that through sheer unprecedented talent, was able to bring those playoff teams back from double digit deficits time and time and time again.
No Mahomes, no hardware for Big Red.
Andy better have that kid induct him into the Hall of Fame, because he dragged his ass in there kicking and screaming.

No one thinks Andy is infallible, but your critique of him is beyond ridiculous. He was gifted Mahomes? When Mahomes was drafted it was well known that he was raw and it would take the right coach to make him what he is. Andy did that. Not saying Mahomes would not have still been good, there’s no guarantee that he would become the player he is…..unless you think he would be this good had Cleveland drafted him #1 overall.
Do you use the same standard for Reid as you do other coaches? One could argue that:
No Starr, no hardware for Lombardi
No Brady, no hardware for Belechick
No Montana, no hardware for Walsh
No Aikman, no hardware for Johnson
No Bradshaw, no hardware for Noll
That’s only a few names. What this does show is how hard it is to win even 1 title without an elite QB. This doesn’t mean that the HC is awful. Andy is one of the best HCs in league history. He needed an elite QB to get over the hump, but that could be said for almost all of the great HCs in the history of the game.
Your constant bashing on him comes not from facts, but from some weird irrational dislike of him. That’s why your takes regarding him are always viewed as they are.
