Andy Reid enters his 15th NFL season as the league's longest tenured coach, two years ahead of Bill Belichick. The Eagles had a very disappointing 8-8 season last year. Owner Jeff Lurie has stated that a similar record will not guarantee Reid's return next year.
There is no doubt that the Eagles have their problems. Reid recently lost one of his sons. Fans are on the edge as they put all of their chips on Michael Vick. They want results, but they feel uneasy.
All of this makes for a perfect storm to have a horrible season. With all of the pressure on the coach, something will give at some point if the team starts to lose. Having an ultimatum over the coach's head is a recipe for disaster. The demise of the Eagles will be one game at a time.
