Boss of Everything Football

WaPo’s Michael Wilbon could have cited Andy Reid in his argument that the Redskins need to hire a coach and GM, and not let some celebrity coach (i.e., Bill Cowher) to be the “Boss of Everything Football.”

 

“This notion that a coach should have most of the say regarding personnel is obviously flawed. When Mike Holmgren works exclusively as head coach, he's gotten to the Super Bowl twice. As head coach and Boss of Everything Football, he was about to be fired until he relinquished his general manager duties and made his second run to the Super Bowl,” writes Wilbon.

 

He might have also added that Andy Reid’s record hasn’t been that great since being anointed Eagles Boss of Everything Football. Something to think about if Tom Heckert leaves.
