Looking forward to more Coach Reid in 2011

This week, the Tennessee Titans announced they will bring back coach Jeff Fisher for his 18th season this fall, despite a seven-year drought since his last playoff win. Fisher is the only active coach in the NFL who has remained in the same job longer than Eagles coach Andy Reid, who will enter his 13th season this fall.

A comparison of their resumes:

** Age?
Fisher: 52
Reid: 52

** Overall win percentage?
Fisher: 54 percent
Reid: 62 percent

** Only Super Bowl appearance?
Fisher: 1999 (year six coaching)
Reid: 2004 (year six coaching)

** Post SB playoff record?
Fisher: 2-5
Reid: 3-4

** Team average division finish?
Fisher: 2.4 place
Reid: 2.0 place

With that in mind, here’s a look at how Fisher’s teams have done in years 13 through 17 of his coaching:

** 1 division title
** 0 playoff wins
** 0 Super Bowl appearances
** 0 Super Bowl championships

But I’m sure Andy will have completely different results in his future. After all, he’s a completely different coach.
