Why Did Andy Reid Leave the Eagles in 2012?

Andy Reid was fired following the 2012 season.

Philadelphia ended the season with a 42-7 loss to the Giants and the day after owner Jeffery Lurie announced the organization would be moving on. At the time, he was the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL (14 years).

“When you have a season like that, it’s embarrassing. It’s personally crushing to me and it’s terrible,” Lurie said at the time.

It didn’t take Reid long to find a new team, as the Chiefs hired him almost right away.
