When head coaches Sean McDermott and Andy Reid are asked about one another, they both have nothing but good things to say. Reid, the fifth-winningest head coach in NFL history, had McDermott on his staff in a multitude of roles from 1999 through 2010. McDermott’s coaching career begin when he became a scouting administrative coordinator, then assistant to the head coach, defensive assistant and quality control coach, defensive backs coach, secondary coach, linebackers coach, and finally getting to defensive coordinator for the 2009 season.
Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Ike Reese said Reid and McDermott were inseparable.
