Andy Reid will no longer be coaching the Philadelphia Eagles, according to multiple sources and reports Sunday.
The longest-tenured NFL coach at 14 seasons is scheduled to meet with Eagles owner Jeff Lurie on Monday, but it appears to be a formality that he's out as coach. Reid might be retained in another capacity with the club since he's under contract for one more year at $6 million.
Lurie insisted after last season that a record of 8-8, as Philadelphia had in 2011, would be unacceptable.
Eagles spokesman Derek Boyko denied that Lurie has already fired Reid, saying it's "absolutely, 100%" untrue.
The Eagles finished with a 4-12 record after a 42-7 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, losing 11 of their last 12 games, the only win a 23-21 victory at Tampa Bay in Week 14.
Reid said after the loss Sunday that he'll accept any decision made by Lurie.
"I go in eyes wide open," Reid said. "Either way, I understand. Whatever he chooses will be the right thing. He always does things for the best interests of the Eagles.”New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick, who was hired in 2000, would become the longest-tenured coach in the NFL, followed by Marvin Lewis, who was hired by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2003.
