Week 3 Coaching Tree: The Reid Connection

When the Pittsburgh Steelers take the field Sunday, head coach Mike Tomlin will go head to head with the newest branch of the Andy Reid coaching tree, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. The Steelers have some familiarity with Reid as they are 3-3 against him all-time and defeated his mentor Mike Holmgren in Super Bowl XL to win ring number 5. The similarities between Pederson and Reid are stunning both on and off the field, and these correlations are worth examining if the Steelers want to leave Philadelphia with a record of 3-0.
