Britt Gets Tested; Coach’s Future Still Uncertain
Yesterday’s Britt Reid saga concluded with 33 (or some say as many as 200) pills found by police in the truck he smacked into a shopping cart with in Plymouth Meeting last Thursday. Today, Britt is in Montgomery County for mandatory psychiatric testing, which may have an impact on the charges filed in his latest dustup — or, at least, give some clue as to what’s knocking around that head of his. But with the pre-season about to close, it still begs the question: Will Andy Reid stick around?
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio says that the Reid’s family situation has to be a real concern for Eagles fans: “Apparently, the time that Reid took off earlier this year hasn’t solved the problems of at least one of his sons,” Florio tells the Daily Examiner, “and it’s fair to wonder whether Reid will resign after the season so that he can devote more time to getting both of his sons on the right track.”
So far, the Eagles (or Reid) have not addressed whether the coach will be here for this season, but sources say that his taking some significant time off — or leaving football altogether — has been discussed.
“This is Reid’s ninth season with the team, which is virtually an eternity for NFL head coaches, ” Florio says. “If he was already thinking about whether it might be time to move on, the events of last week could be enough to push him toward doing so.”
