Wasn't his undoing in Philly more to do with the fact that he started getting more say in player personnel decisions? About 4-5 years back some of the guys who were in the Eagles front office started moving on to other organizations, and didn't Reid start getting more and more say with the draft? Ultimately resulting in a roster that wasn't as strong as it was during his run of 5 straight Championship games.
He did have some issues over the years managing the final 5 minutes of games, mind you that seems to be an issue with every single head coach. In a way it seems Brian Billick like where a guy who was thought of more as an offensive guy comes in and the offence is doing nothing, but his defence has been pretty dominating. The defence will start getting tested in these final 7 games though.
