Throughout the offseason, we?ll be monitoring the 2013 head coaching carousel, with updates on all of the firings, hirings and rumors across the league.

BLACK MONDAY PRIMER

Out: Andy Reid (4-12 in 2012, 130-93-1 overall) ? (the Eagles have not yet confirmed Reid?s firing, though multiple reports indicate that an announcement will come Monday)

What Went Wrong: Um ? everything? After starting the season 3-1, the Eagles absolutely imploded in all facets, aided by a brutal run of injuries that felled (on the offense alone) Michael Vick, Jason Peters, DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy Todd Herremans and others.

Starting with a Week 5 loss to the Steelers, the Eagles dropped eight games in a row, sealing Reid?s fate ? it was believed that he entered the season with a playoffs-or-bust stance from owner Jeffery Lurie. Despite Reid?s nine playoff appearances in Philadelphia, and a trip to the Super Bowl, back-to-back years of sitting home come January forced the Eagles to make a change.

Roster outlook: The big decision ? one that must be made soon ? concerns Vick?s future with the franchise. Assuming the Eagles cut bait on their $100 million man, mission No. 1 will be figuring out who?s under center next season. Nick Foles showed improvement when pressed into duty as a rookie, but will the Eagles turn the starting QB job over to him?

The Eagles reportedly are projected to be upwards of $18 million over the cap in 2013, so several other high-priced vets may join Jason Babin and head out of town. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is set to be a free agent, too, so the Eagles may need to find some help in the secondary.

More than likely, Philadelphia will carry its late-season youth movement into 2013.
