Andy Reid is far more than a "slightly more successful version of an NFC Marvin Lewis". Is he up there on the greatest coaches ever? No, probably not, but he's probably the first name on the tier below that very top tier and well well above Marvin Lewis.
Guy is going into the HoF as a coach.
Meh
It's likes (off the top of my head) 14-6 afc over nfc this last 20 years in the sb. Being a marginally successful nfc coach is not very good on the afc.
Marvin lewis probably would have done pretty well with the eagles. Reid did pretty well, too. The afc doesn't forgive "pretty well."
