Superagent Bob LaMonte, who represents Andy Reid and numerous other NFL head coaches, visited Eagles training camp at Lehigh University Saturday and said owner Jeffrey Lurie has assured him that Reid will remain head coach of the Eagles as long as he wants to. Not long after LaMonte’s remarks were published, Lurie responded with a statement distancing the organization from the “Coach for Life” concept, adding that Reid will be evaluated at the end of the season, just like every other employee of the organization. "Bob is a great agent who we have an outstanding relationship with,” the statement read. “As much respect as all of us have for Andy Reid, it is the nature of the profession that all coaches, executives and players are evaluated each year. That’s the way we have always operated. But our focus right now, and I know Andy feels the same way, is solely on the upcoming 2012 season.”

The team does awful this year and doesn't make the playoffs, I disagree. However, if they make the playoffs and lose in the 1st round, he's still safe guaranteed but I think that Lurie will can Reid if there's someone else worthy of coaching this team in line. He's not just going to fire Reid and take a flier on someone.
