Some select quotes from Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie about the now-departed Andy Reid during Monday's press conference.
"History will focus on exactly what he will accomplish and what the team accomplished. I look forward to the day we will all welcome him back and introduce him into
the Eagles Hall of Fame because that is inevitable."
"He was excited about the future of this franchise, and he wanted to stay."
"Someone's going to get one heck of a football coach."
"I think if you had to point to anything; it's when you've had as much
success as we've had and are so close to winning a Super Bowl at some
stage you have an opportunity to think that the next move, even if it's
not consistent with all of your previous moves, will be the one that
gives you the chance to win the Lombardi Trophy. I think
that in the last year or so, last couple of years, we've done things
that have not been as consistent. They've been more scattered in terms
of decision-making."
"There's nobody who wants to win more than I do. Once you've experienced
the success we've had with the division titles and all of that stuff.
It makes you just realize that there's nothing more that you want than a
Super Bowl and deliver that for our fans. That's the important thing."
And those from GM Howie Roseman:
"The bottom of it was they felt we need to have better chemistry. We
needed to have guys who felt better about everyone around them and
that's going to be a goal of ours. We want to put a
roster together of guys who really love to play together and have each
other's back. You saw a lot of heart. A lot of people, a lot of our
players are hurting. A lot of these players, all they know is Andy
(Reid) and the coaches we have here."
"(The quarterback) and the coach are obviously the two most important things for any franchise."
