Andy Reid is preparing to coach his last game with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday after the 13 years with the organization.

But as ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday, even if Reid is handed a pink slip by the Eagles in the coming days, don't expect him to be on the market long.

[Reid] has been calling around the league, trying to put together a coaching staff, so that if and when he is let go in Philadelphia, he will be ready to resume coaching for another franchise next season.

While most assumed Reid might be a logical replacement for Norv Turner in San Diego, Schefter reports the Chargers will not look be looking in the California native's direction.

One direction the veteran head coach might look in is the Valley and a potential head coaching vacancy with the Arizona Cardinals.

Sports Illustrated's Don Banks suggested the idea earlier in the week, and Schefter reported Sunday that the two parties might be a match.

Although he is not expected to be a candidate with the Chargers, he could wind up as a candidate in Jacksonville if the Jaguars fire Mike Mularkey or in Arizona if the Cardinals part ways with coach Ken Whisenhunt.

Under Reid's guidance, the Eagles have made nine postseason appearances, including a trip to Super Bowl 39 and four NFC Championship games.

    Wouldn't mind it but...
    If the cards do fire whiz, Reid certainly would be a high profile replacement, that said, there's no guarantee Reid would even want to keep Horton around, let alone would make the effort needed to convince him to stay as a DC, and despite a TON of defensive talent, the eagles have never really come close to being the defensive juggernaut the Cards D has been under Horton.

    Further
    It's also worth noting that coming into the last two season the Cards were expected by pundits to be a mid to bottom tier team, while the eagles were expected to be super bowl contenders so despite fan expectations, I think most sports analysts would argue Whiz actually got more wins then they thought the Cards should, while Reids eagles HUGELY under performed.
