Andy Reid has a reputation around the league as a coach that players like to play for. For all of his flaws as a coach, Reid kept that reputation through his 14-stint as Philadelphia Eagles head coach, and has a similar reputation in Kansas City. But just because players tend to like Reid's demeanor doesn't mean the feeling is always reciprocated.
Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive-line coach Jim Washburn recently joined The Midday 180, and admitted that Reid was not fond of former defensive end Jason Babin:
Naturally, Washburn loved Babin because, “He’s a psycho.” Reid obviously felt different.
“Reid told me, he said, ‘I hate him.’
“Because he would just run his mouth and stuff. I don’t know, I loved him. He’s a likable guy.”
Babin played for the Reid-led Eagles over two different stints. The first came in 2009, when he was a rotation piece on Sean McDermott's defensive line. That season, Babin had 2.5 sacks and just 11 total tackles. The Eagles allowed Babin to leave in free-agency after that season, leaving him to eventually sign with the Tennessee Titans.
In 2010, he got his first chance to play under Washburn and thrived. Chuck Cecil was the Titans defensive coordinator, but the defense was based around the wide-nine technique, in which Washburn's defensive ends rushed the quarterback nearly every play. At age 30, Babin, who had been a journeyman, had a breakout season, posting 12.5 sacks and 44 total tackles, leading to his first trip to the Pro-Bowl.
After the 2010 season, the Eagles parted ways with McDermott. Reid eventually named former offensive line coach Juan Castillo the defensive coordinator, but only after he had selected Washburn to run the defensive line. Babin, who again was a free-agent, joined Washburn in the trek to Philly, signing a five-year/$28 million contract to return to the Eagles after the league's brief strike.
The 2011 "dream team" season, was, of course, a disaster. The Eagles splurged in free-agency after the league's brief strike ended, signing Babin, Nnamdi Asomugha and Vince Young, among others. A season that opened with talk of the Super Bowl, ended with an 8-8 record, which only came after the Eagles won their final four games.

Playing across from Trent Cole, Babin posted a career-high 18 sacks with 35 total tackles that season, earning him another trip to the Pro-Bowl. While he excited some with his ability to consistently get to the quarterback, others were left upset with his talent (and effort) level against the run. Babin's sack celebration, which is pictured at the top of this article, also angered some because he seemed to do it after every sack, regardless of what the scoreboard said.
2012 ended up being Reid's final season in Philadelphia, as the team would go 4-12. Before he was let go, Reid let Babin go. The team released him on Nov. 27, 2012, citing a desire to give more snaps to Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry. While there may have been some validity to that, Washburn's quote leads you to think that Reid didn't lose much sleep over the decision to move on from Babin.
On Dec. 3, 2012, the Eagles fired Washburn, who Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia's Reuben Frank noted at the time was upset with the decision to move on from Babin and "had threatened to quit." You get the sense that Reid's opinion of Washburn, who also said in the interview that he was viewed as "the Antichrist" in Philadelphia, probably wasn't too high either.
