There are some major rumors blowing around right now surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles and Andy Reid. There are reports that Jon Gruden is currently in Philadelphia, quietly secluded in a hotel room.
There has been a lot of speculation that Andy Reid’s days in Philadelphia are numbered and that there may be some internal issues in the organization. Reid inexplicably disappeared right after the Philadelphia Eagles were eliminated from the postseason by the Green Bay Packers. Reid also stated that his defensive coordinator, Sean McDermott would be returning next year, than promptly fired him a couple days later. I have also speculated that this may not have been Andy Reid’s decision and that several other decisions made over the past year have also not been made by Andy Reid.
Now there are rumors that Jon Gruden is in Philadelphia. Could Gruden be lying in wait to take Andy Reid’s job and step in as the next Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles? Gruden served as Offensive Coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles under Ray Rhodes before joining the Oakland Raiders as their Head Coach in 1998. After 4 seasons with the Raiders, Gruden and Raiders’ Owner Al Davis’ relationship began to strain. Eventually, Gruden was released from his contract to become the Head Coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his first year as coach of the Bucs, Gruden lead them to a Super Bowl Victory.
Mind you that this story is just a rumor at this point, and there isn’t any confirmation as of yet. If, however, the rumor turns out to be valid, this would be huge news. We wanted to do our best to try to stay on top of the story. We will bring you more details as they develop.
*** Former Eagle Kyle Eckel is the source who first posted that Gruden is in town.
