Since 2004, Andrew Muc has served as the accounting manager of NRG Energy, where he is responsible for consolidating the general ledgers of all legal entities under the company. In his personal life, Andrew Muc is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Formed in 1933 from the remnants of the Frankford Yellowjackets franchise, the Eagles had little success in their early seasons. In 1941 their fortunes improved with the hiring of head coach Earle Neale. Future Hall of Famers such as Alex Wojciechowicz, Steve Van Buren, and Chuck Bednarik powered the team to NFL championships in 1948 and 1949.
Success faded in the 1950s, but quarterback Norm Van Brocklin’s leadership pulled the Eagles out of the doldrums with a late-game defeat of the Green Bay Packers to win the 1960 NFL championship.
Then began an 18-year playoff drought, finally broken in 1978 under coach Dick Vermeil. His emotive style appealed to fans and players alike as the Eagles made four consecutive playoff appearances. They played their way to the 1981 Super Bowl, only to fall to the Oakland Raiders.
The 1980s were up-and-down years, marked by the achievements of quarterback Randall Cunningham and defensive end Reggie White. Building on several 10-victory seasons, in 1999 the team hired head coach Andy Reid, who served longer (14 years) than any other Eagles coach.
Under Reid and star QB Donovan McNabb, the team racked up six division wins and eight playoff berths. The 2000s and 2010s saw some strong finishes, led by McNabb’s successor, Michael Vick.
In 2016 the Eagles unveiled a new offense under new coach Doug Pederson, who once served as assistant coach under Reid. Although the team lost its starting QB late in the 2017 season, it rebounded to claim its first Super Bowl victory, upsetting the dominant New England Patriots 41-33.
