Updated Picture with Chiefs

[edit]

Current photo is quite out of date from his tenure with Philadelphia. Can we get a picture of him with the Chiefs?

Irrelevant and Tabloid-Style Intro Paragraphs

[edit]

It continues to puzzle me why Wikipedia contributors feel that borderline-sensational and gossipy family news is important to an article introduction. Information such as this has no bearing upon the man's biography.

Who Cares?

[edit]

Not quite sure why the article ends with Reids bet with Owens concerning the spandex pants. Seems rather pointless to me. Maybe more information should be added concerning Reids role in the T.O. affair given that it was the biggest Eagles story of 2005.

Umm... he did.

Who is this andy reid?

[edit]

when searching for andy reid, the page that appears should be for the footballer (soccer player), i am sure he is of more note and fame than this bloke, seriously wee cares about some yank fella. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamboertoot (talk • contribs) 19:24, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed daft. I've never heard of this man either. It should at least be straight to disambig, there is no way he is so famous he dwarves a international footballer.--130.243.175.252 (talk) 12:15, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Though I don't know the criteria for picking a dominant Andy Reid. Balfa (talk) 23:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know such criteria either, but there is a disambiguation page through which you can get to Andy Reid the footballer (soccer player). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 15:04, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reid's help on The best game ever

[edit]

I disagree with the exclusionary opinion of the editor but for now am bowing to his/r edit, as all discussed at length here. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 19:16, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone another round with the other editor at that same link ("here" above). I've proposed downscaling my ambition to an External link from the Reid article here to the 1958 NFL Championship Game where the book to which Reid contributed is discussed. If one person supports this approach here (please signal support below), the other editor is amenable. Any takers? All best. Swliv (talk) 17:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a new source, The Wall Street Journal, which shows that Reid's participation in the Bowden book research was interesting to another major media outlet/reporter and why. There would be some more from the WSJ piece to incorporate in a small section, or as an External link, on the subject. Swliv (talk) 00:51, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This may be more than anyone else here wants, but for general Wikipedia process edification I'm going to link to this well-meaning effort I made to "convince [that] one person" (emphasis his/r; again, follow "here" link above). Over there, I was brushed back for "canvassing"; and I can see the difference, in context, between canvassing and convincing; just ... thought ... it was worth keeping all strings ... together, here, while I was at it. Final update today: I've covered this subject, now, on Bowden's page. Swliv (talk) 14:56, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AZ Cards

[edit]

He is going to be the Arizona Cardinals head coach.

From a different user: Where and when does that remark come from?

Non notable individuals and allegations of criminal activity in this article

[edit]

Content about non notable individuals related to Reid and their potential involvement in illegal activities has no place in this article per WP:BLP and WP:COATRACK and WP:CRIME. Particularly when sourced to the NYDN. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:34, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will stipulate that per WP:COATRACK that this is borderline, but I think that it certainly should be considered for inclusion; his son died this season and obviously that took a toll on him. The content shows that his sons previously had problems that affected his coaching. [1][2][3] Particularly the third one support the notion that the incidents from his family affected him as a coach, which is relevant in the article. Go Phightins! 02:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
about.com is not a reliable source (although probably more reliable than the NYDN) and for content such as this only the highest quality sources will suffice. and per the Huff post, "The Eagles practiced without their coach for the first time since 2007. " so only the death of his son can be cited as having any actual impact, and the death is covered. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:02, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What about articles from a six time recipient of the national magazine award and Sports Illustrated? Go Phightins! 10:32, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
with the interview about their sons' problems from philly mag, the issue can be appropriately framed and presented as being directly related to the subject of the article along the lines of "in 2008 he and his wife gave an interview about their sons' addiction/legal issues and stated X." But the living sons name should probably still not be called out. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Real Date of Birth

[edit]

I don't know what year he was born but the page lists one year in the text and a different one in the summary on the right. Can someone who knows correct?

I am seeing March 19, 1958 in both places when I looked today (6 Aug 2014). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 15:01, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Barbecue Enthusiast

[edit]

On the page for Kansas City a photo of Reid is accompanied by a line that says he is a barbecue enthusiast. But there is nothing about this on his own page. Perhaps we could have some information about this?

"I'm going to Kansas City"

[edit]

Notice that Andy Reid signed on as KC Chiefs coach only 4 or 5 days after being let go by the Philadelphia Eagles. KYW news-radio (1060 AM, Philadelphia) announced the KC job and played song excerpt (Wilbert Harrison, 1959) "I'm going to Kansas City -- Kansas City, here I come".

As the article notes, in 2013 he coached KC Chiefs to a playoff appearance. Meanwhile, Chip Kelly, who replaced Reid in Philadelphia, coached the Eagles to a playoff appearance. Both teams lost in 1st round. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 16:18, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He won the Super Bowl in 2020

[edit]

Please change from 2019 that is in the article. Chris carroll us (talk) 03:52, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The season is 2019 though. Eagles 24/7 (C) 03:58, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lists multiple places of birth

[edit]

In the article, Reid is said to have been born in L.A., while under his picture, he is said to be born in Riverton, Utah. I see a lot of evidence elsewhere for the former, and not so much the latter... can this be fixed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:5504:F100:A184:1D36:36C7:9FB9 (talk) 04:37, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why are we glossing over Britt Reid?

[edit]

Right now we mention that his children have had drug and alcohol problems. the article currently states that britt reid was not offered a contract following the 2020 season. It lies by omission by not mentioning the reason why he was not retained was a felony DUI accident leaving arrowhead where he gave a 4 year girl brain damage. SHAME ON YOU GUYS! Im sure you'll find a way to scrub it. https://arrowheadaddict.com/2021/09/17/britt-reid-what-is-next-drunk-driving-charges-april-trial-date-kc-chiefs/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.198.158.171 (talk) 02:23, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@173.198.158.171: It's not mentioned because it's not relevant to Andy Reid's page. It's not being hidden, it's not being "scrubbed", and it's not lying by omission, because none of that matters to Andy Reid's page. All of this, however, is mentioned on Britt Reid's page, so I'm not sure why you would think it was being hidden, especially since Britt's page is linked in that section so if someone wants to know why they can see on his page.--Rockchalk717 20:40, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is one of the most important events of his life. These Wikipedia articles are bios not the back of sports cards so it should be added. AaronY (talk) 02:18, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
False, it's an important event in Britt's life, not Andy. If Britt was a minor a case could be made. But it's not a major event in Andy's personal life.--Rockchalk717 01:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I should probably mention I'm not against any mention of it whatsoever. Just that an article about Andy Reid should not get that detailed about what something one of his children did, especially since that child has their own article where the full situation is detailed. Once again, this article is about Andy Reid, not Britt Reid.--Rockchalk717 21:46, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest of all time

[edit]

Before there was a brief line that said many consider him one of the greatest head coaches of all time. That should still be in the article somewhere 2600:1702:5D4B:6800:8B93:FB16:BE4E:97C3 (talk) 15:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
