LeSean McCoy has insisted that Andy Reid is the right man to lead the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles head coach is expected to be fired at the end of the season, after failing to improve on last year's record.

McCoy told the Philadelphia Daily News: "If you sat here and tried to name five to eight coaches that's better than coach Reid, I would like to hear it.

"Coach Reid's a good coach. He gets blamed for everything. Sometimes you break down the film, break down the plays, and the mistakes, how do you fault the coach for that?

"I guess people have their own opinions, their minds are made up. The thing about the team is, we know how good a coach he really is. Whatever happens happens, but I'm behind Coach Reid 110%."

The Eagles have four wins and 10 losses this season.
