Philadelphia Eagles pay nice tribute to Andy Reid on Twitter

The Philadelphia Eagles showed some class on Twitter by honoring their former head coach for his first Super Bowl win on Sunday.

On Sunday night, February 2, 2020, Andy Reid removed the monkey from his back once and for all.

The future Hall of Fame entrant and current Kansas City Chiefs head coach won Super Bowl LIV with a comeback 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. It was the first such win in Reid’s historic career, one that was already likely bound for Canton but still came with doubters who wondered if he was ever going to be able to take a team all the way.

On Sunday, he silenced any remaining detractors with a historic comeback that gave the NFL one of the most entertaining Super Bowls in recent history.

In response, the Philadelphia Eagles, the very franchise that Reid coached for 14 years, put up a classy note on Twitter that struck a chord with so many.

Reid begins each of his press conferences with the words, “Time’s yours” to local reporters as a signal that it’s their allotted time to ask him questions about the state of his team. Here the Eagles pay tribute to a man who meant so much to them for so long yet was unable to come up big despite plenty of regular season success over the years in Philly.

Reid went 130-93-1 in his 14 years in Philadelphia with a playoff record of 10-9. Despite winning so many games, the Eagles made a single Super Bowl appearance in that decade-and-a-half in 2004 and ultimately lost to the New England Patriots.
