Andy Reid says he keeps his team meetings to 5 minutes max because he couldn't stand long meetings as a player, and says the best teams are built when players start teaching each other instead of always relying on their coaches “Well, you get to year 10 and 12, and where we're sitting here, so you don't want the players going, ‘Man, I heard the same thing over and over.’ I'd rather just get in, get out, give them what they need. I couldn't stand meetings when I was playing. The long meetings were driving me crazy. “So I said, if I ever have an opportunity to be a head coach, it's gonna be short, it's gonna be sweet, to the point. And that's kind of how we've kept it.” “You know what you get, though? You mentioned about players. You can compete and win if the coach is teaching the player. You get the players teaching the players, man, now you can really go and compete for championships. So that's where our guys are right now.”
