Juan Castillo: 'I didn't get it done'
On Tuesday, Eagles coach Andy Reid fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo and replaced him with Todd Bowles. Castillo, who less than 5 months ago, said he would "take a bullet" for Andy Reid holds no grudges, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
"I would like to thank Andy and Mr. [Eagles chairman Jeffrey] Lurie for the opportunity that they gave me," Castillo said in a text message to the Daily News. "And thank my players for playing harder than anybody else in the NFL."
Castillo told Comcast SportsNet's Derrick Gunn he didn't see himself as a scapegoat: "The thing that hurts is that I let down coach Reid, I let down the organization, I let down the city . . . I didn't get it done."
