NFL: Reid says he’ll stay as coach

Andy Reid is digging in.

The Philadelphia Eagles coach insisted he will not resign Friday, a day after a judge sentenced Reid’s two sons to prison and likened his home to a “drug emporium.”

Asked whether he intended to stay on the job, a steely-eyed Reid delivered a stern, one-word answer: “Yes.”

At least one of his peers thought that may not be the best approach.

“If that situation comes up in anybody’s family, I would think you would have to take a hard look at taking time off, of doing something to try and salvage the thing,” said Reid’s longtime friend and mentor, Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren.

Reid took a five-week absence earlier this year.

The Eagles are last in the NFC East at 3-4, and host division-leading Dallas on Sunday night.
