Eagles coach to take Leave of Absence

by Jeff Wilson

Apparently there is no rest for the weary, as Andy Reid, the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, hadn’t even had time to put his feet up after the long season had come to an end when he found himself facing a much more dire situation than a potential Quarterback controversy could bring.

About two weeks ago Reid’s 23 year old son Garrett was the cause of an automobile accident that left the driver of the other car seriously injured. Reid’s son was found to have been on heroin at the time of the accident. Garrett will be charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

As if that weren’t enough as the old saying goes “when it rains, it pours”, on the very same day Reid’s 21 year old son Britt was involved in an intense road rage situation in which he allegedly pulled a gun on the other party involved.

The charges against Britt are a bit more extensive, upon a search of the vehicle the twenty one year old was driving the police found not only the weapon in question, but cocaine, oxycodone and marijuana. The younger Reid will undergo a preliminary hearing later this week, he is being charged with assault, possesion of controlled substance, carrying a firearm without a license and making terroristic threats among other things.

Coach Reid has announced he will be taking a break from his duties with the Eagles in order to tend to the issues at hand with his family. The team reports that the leave will continue into mid March and that Reid will resume his duties with the team before the NFL Draft in April, Couch Reid’s absence however will probably require someone to step in and fill his shoes as Head of Football Operations for the start of free agency.

It’s good to see a Coach, especially one so involved in the internal workings of the team, to put the game aside and turn his attention where it belongs at this very difficult time, with his family. There have been a lot of questions in the past regarding Coach Reid’s decisions on the field, but I for one certainly respect this decision to put football aside and consider his family first.
