    I definitely am not trying to speculate as to what the cause was, but, I do know that a few years ago, Reid considered taking a LOA from the Eagles to hep with his family situation at home. Eventually, he stayed on and that did not happen. However, with his son helping out at TC, I would think he was doing his best to get his life on the correct path. It is a shame that this happened.

      Very sad.

      On the topic or coaches, why are football coaches still under the impression that 80 hour work weeks accomplish anything?
      As if that 67th hour of work will reveal that allusive playcall keeping them from a championship. Maybe getting some sleep and not cruising on caffiene all week will help them make better decisions on Sunday.
      Best reason to have a license.

        I think the 80 hour work weeks are more due to stress than anything else. They probably don't sleep well because they can't stop thinking about the game plan, film, etc. so instead of just laying in bed staring at the ceiling they're in the office breaking down film.
