Andy Reid was fired by the Eagles following the 2012 season. They went 4-12 and missed the playoffs for the second straight year.

While Reid didn’t win a Super Bowl with the Eagles, he did lead them to Super Bowl XXXIX, where they fell to the Patriots.

In 14 years as head coach of the Eagles, Reid went 130-93-1.

Why Did Andy Reid Leave the Eagles in 2012?

Andy Reid was fired following the 2012 season.

Philadelphia ended the season with a 42-7 loss to the Giants and the day after owner Jeffery Lurie announced the organization would be moving on. At the time, he was the longest-tenured head coach in the NFL (14 years).

“When you have a season like that, it’s embarrassing. It’s personally crushing to me and it’s terrible,” Lurie said at the time.

It didn’t take Reid long to find a new team, as the Chiefs hired him almost right away.
