Should Andy Reid Step Down?

Sit at home and think about what went wrong? Work is probably the best thing for the guy right now.

However he should make some sort of public statement ASAP.

I don't think the league should force him to step down, but wouldn't you seriously consider taking some sort of leave of absence if your kids were doing this kind of stuff? I know I would, especially if I was a millionaire. It seems like he's been pretty uninvolved in his kids' lives and perhaps he should become more involved.

I respect Reid as a coach, he could also be a great person, and I'm not intimately familiar with what kind of dad he has been or is. But, I still think that, if his financial situation permits it, he should start watching his kids like a hawk. Yes they are grown men, but that doesn't mean that his duties as a parent ended when they turned 18.

He already took time off during the off season to deal with this. What is he suppose to do now that they are behind bars? He can't do anything except go visit them.

Andy Reid is marrried and his wife stayed home. So it's not like no parents were ever around. I was raised by a single parent and so were alot of my friends and we never ever did any crap like this.

I know we can come on a chat room and debate it but I'm hearing all the media people saying he should step down and what not. I think that's BS. Let the guy do what he wants and let him deal with his issues like a grown man and not try and decide what to do for him.

I agree 100%, but then what would the media talk about? Haven't we had enough of the Colts/Patriots talk by now?
