He could use a little more skill on self-assessing his own weaknesses.

He hasn't changed much during a near 20 year career as a head coach. The book on him from Philadelphia is all still true. Play calling is terrible, clock management is terrible, very slow to make in-game adjustments, routinely wastes time outs and challenges, often gives the other team possessions at the end of halves.
His system, when executed well and when turnovers are limited, is very good at beating bad and mediocre teams, and thus produces a lot of regular season wins because those are 2/3 of the teams you play in a given year.
In the postseason you don't play many mediocre teams, which is probably why he has a losing record in the postseason.
Once in a while a Brian Hoyer quarterbacked Texans team backs into the playoffs, but other than that, Reid doesn't win consistently in the postseason, despite often getting there.
