Per Glazer the Eagles committee is meeting with Dirk Koetter, Mike Nolan and Keith Armstrong Wednesday in Atlanta.
Any other known meetings?
nolan was a total flame out as a coach already and his defenses arent even that good
i have no clue who keith armstrong is...google says hes the atl special coach. ok.

Wikipedia says he went from Jets DC to Ravens WR coach to Ravens DC. This is exactly the kind of guy Lurie would want.
I'm not surprised by the ST coach being interviewed. A lot of rumors from the media saying STs coaches are being looked at because they have to coach so many of the guys in the team and make them all work together. John Harbaugh's success (for whom Munson is very happy for) is a main reason STs guys will get looks. Except Bobby April of course.
Koetter is interesting for sure. I have a feeling he's the leader right now.
My happiness for John Harbaugh is only exceeded by my raw seething hatred for DeSean Jackson
Mike Nolan the guy who wore the suit?

QuoteAccording to Howard Eskin of FOX 29 and WIP radio, owner Jeffrey Lurie's initial list has six names on it.
The candidates are, per Eskin, Penn State coach Bill O'Brien, Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, and Oregon coach Chip Kelly.

Unless there's a guy named Per Eskin, that list has five names on it, not six.
If that's the list I'll take O'Brien. He has pro experience and dealt with more adversity than any coach in college history. Meaning he can handle Philly. Reid's handling of Philly was saying as little as possible.
I'll take Kelly just because his hiring would cause several people here to lose their shtein.
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/20121231_Chip_Kelly_said_to_be_at_top_of_Eagles_list.html
No way the Eagles pay $5M-$6M/yr and the $9M buyout for BOB while also paying Andy up until he's hired somewhere else. Oh, and if your #1 priority this offseason is to regain trust in the Eagles fanbase, stealing PSU's guy would be brilliant. I think any defensive-minded interviews are just doing due diligence but in the end they'll go with an offensive-minded guy, especially one that will be working with Foles. I've been on the Chip bandwagon for months and that's who I want...
Unless they go with some total known quantity like Chan Gailey (yeah right), it's a total crapshoot anyway. Even moreso than the draft. No one ever guesses how these coach moves turn out, there's too many different things the guy needs to be able to do to succeed. Most of the guys who seem promising fail.
With Kelly, it's getting to be kind of retarded how many people are going down the "hurr durr he can't run the Oregon offense in the NFL" path. Yeah, no shtein. Like Lurie said, it's not about hiring a guy to bring in a certain scheme, it's about hiring a guy who knows how to scheme for the situation he's in. Question 1 in the interview is gonna be, "So, do you have any more ideas, or are you going to try to run the Oregon offense in the NFL with Nick Foles?" A big chunk of it is also going to be about the people the HC surrounds himself with, and whether he gets the numerous miscreants in the Eagles locker room to buy in to his leadership.
Just going by the numbers, the next coach will probably suck. But maybe they'll hit the lottery. Why get upset about who they hire when we won't know for a couple years whether he's good, anyway.
Just checking in to confirm that I will pan whatever decision is made, unless IGY is already panning it hard. Then I will praise it to be contrarian.
Happy New Year, losers.

Lets not kid ourselves, like we [fans in general] knew Reid was out the door we also know Kelly is the next HC. They'll interview a bunch of 'other' guys just to say they did their due diligence, but at the end of the day it's going to be Kelly.
And in case any of you missed it, Kelly is a huge Foles fan:
http://tucsoncitizen.com/wildcatreport/2011/09/25/oregon-coach-chip-kelly-on-nick-foles-i-watch-in-awe-sometimes/
So he'll come here, he'll ditch the run option portion of his offense and modify it to an NFL style. He'll keep some gimmicky aspects of the spread like Spurrier did when he went to DC.
The only good news with any new coach is we'll know what we're getting right away. This isn't the 98' Eagles where the team has no offensive talent, there's plenty of talent on the O to be effective. So he's either going to sink or swim. Personally I think he'll be an 8-8 guy, never really taking that big next step forward.
I continue to scream at the rain about this but unless they drastically upgrade the offensive line it won't matter which $6M clown rolls into town.
Don't worry. I saw a mock draft where they drafted a big, goofy, white offensive tackle from Texas A&M to help protect their big, goofy, white quarterback.
I prefer white players because GRIT.

The O-line doesn't need an overhaul, especially if you get Joeckel or sign a RT or RG.
Peters/Mathis/Kelce/Herremans/?
They need one player...Peters assuming he's healthy is the best LT in football, Mathis played at a pro bowl level this season, Kelce is adequate,and Herremans is solid.
Backups yes they need because King Dunlap should never step foot on the field again, but there's plenty of options to go with either through the draft or free agency. The BIG overhaul needed is from the secondary. They could cut every DB on their roster and it would be an improvement.
LOL @ Mathis as a Pro Bowler. They were 4-12 and got quarterbacks injured faster than a farging speeding bullet.
And "if" Peters is back what's to guarantee he'll be anything resembling the player he was before he got injured? He's on the wrong side of 30, right?
Herremans is playing out of position, Kelce was mediocre even when he was playing, Mathis is castoff average and they have absolutely no right tackle unless they stick with Wost Manneans there (which they shouldn't - he should be put back at guard where he belongs).
They need a massive upgrade in talent there. Otherwise they're going to continue to get quarterbacks killed and their record won't rise about .500.
That same line played just fine last season. Lineman aren't like speed players meaning they can easily play into their mid 30's. Peters was the best lineman in the game before his injury, even if he doesn't return to that high level of play he's still damn good.
I don't know what you were watching, but Mathis was the only bright spot on a horrid O-line. I thought he was a weak link in 2011 but this year he was solid.
How was Herremans playing 'out of position'? He was a college Tackle, was moved to Guard, then moved back to Tackle. He's been nothing but steady wherever they've put him at.
And Kelce was a rookie, I'd rather have a grater at C than a quick guy who can pull on sweeps but overall he was decent enough.
Once Peters went down they were doomed, the most underrated aspect of a pro offense is the anchor of the line. That's the guy you know is going to clear space when there is none. Peters is the only player on the team capable of mauling who ever is in his path.
Just fine? They were 4-8 before the fool's gold quartet of games.
You yourself said you see 8-8 if Kelly takes over. I don't know about you but 8-8 isn't gonna cut it for me. I want a dominating large & nasty offensive line that beats the shtein out of the defense, not the Hoydas who've gotten their faces pushed in for the last half decade.
I think Greg Roman (49ers OC) is a real sleeper. Look what he did with Alex Smith, and now Kapernick. I love the guy's smash-mouth style of offense, and he's pretty ingenious when it comes to getting guys in roles that fit their skill set (Delanie Walker, etc.)

The 4-8 record was certainly indicative of the play of the offensive line...not the idiot QB, the wide 9, having an O-line coach as the DC, Marty's awesome redzone playcalling. Nope, it was all the O-lines fault.
I don't want Kelly and am not happy with 8-8. Just like DE, you wants large beasts like Peters who maul everything in their path, that's fine but where are you getting them from? It's not like those guys fall out of trees. You make due with what you have and upgrade in spots of need. The O-line needs work but a major overhaul [like what will happen with the DBs] is not in order.
No, you're right. The offensive line wasn't to blame at all. They were the strength of that .500 juggernaut.
They're a Super Bowl caliber outfit so long as Peters, Kelce & Herremans all come back healthy and Mathis continues his "Pro Bowl" level of play.
CASE CLOSED.

Ranked 28th this year.
VORP
lol they are nerds but their logic is sound because they support Rome's argument.
and yeah, the o-line was bad, but with peters and herremans coming back you need to upgrade rg and maybe c, which should be relatively easy to do.
Sign Jake Long, draft Jarvis, then use the rest of the picks on DBs.
Seriously, if the choice was either draft Jockstrap or sign Long, would we not all agree that signing Long would be the way to go? Someone said it a few weeks back - it's similar to signing Runyan back when Andy came to town.
If they could somehow manage to sign a top FA right tackle I'd be thrilled.
Hell, I'd even stomach Mathis & Kelce starting if that were the case. It's as big an "if" as anything else, though, especially with Roseman making the picks.
If Peters is healthy then they're better there as well but only because they were so uniformly awful without him.

I'm 100% IN with this plan. Long is a no-brainer. I have to wonder if Jarvis drops to 4 though.
counting on a 30+ year old 335 pounb double torn achillies survivor is not very smart....counting on him to be the best LT in the nfl is suicide...hope for the best and expect the worst when it comes to him but mostly have a better plan b than the slop they ran out this year

QuoteBill O'Brien of major interest in NFL, Eagles included
By David Jones | djones@pennlive.com
on January 01, 2013 at 3:01 PM, updated January 01, 2013 at 3:15 PM
It really is becoming simply a matter of whether Bill O'Brien is a man of his word. Which would set him apart from pretty much every other major-college and NFL coach who's ever denied interest in a bigger job and then taken it.
Penn State's head coach for just less than a year has said recently he plans on remaining in his current position for the 2013 season. But plans change. And O'Brien perfectly fits the profile of the sort of man NFL owners and general managers covet. They are showing abundant interest.
I've been told that the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals plan to interview him and that the Eagles' owner Jeffrey Lurie is in particular very intrigued.
What O'Brien brings is an organized mind, the background of an offensive strategist and an impressive presence in person. That's a powerful combination in an interview setting. And if any NFL owner is convinced he is the right guy to lead his franchise, even the 8-figure buyout of his Penn State deal necessary to simply arrive at contract negotiations will not be a significant impediment for many of today's billionaires. Contrary to what I've been told previously, that may even include Lurie.
Penn State is attempting a preemptive strike. I anticipate the university will come up with a significant salary bump-up from a private source for O'Brien. Though the addition would not come from athletic department coffers, O'Brien could make in the vicinity of $3.5 million annually should he choose to stay at PSU, about a third of that possibly coming from a private gift.
But extra salary may not matter that much in this competition. If O'Brien wants to be a head coach in the NFL and that opportunity becomes available, all else is secondary.
The Eagles are reported to be most interested in Oregon coach Chip Kelly. But O'Brien is very much on their radar.
A potential sticking point for O'Brien regarding the Eagles job could be their new general manager Howie Roseman. The club's 37-year-old salary cap guru is known to be held in low regard by O'Brien's mentor, Patriots coach Bill Belichick, and by another strong O'Brien contact, former Broncos head coach and Patriots assistant Josh McDaniels.
The NFL hiring spree to fill seven vacant jobs will come fast and furious. The first to hire will afford its new coach the opportunity to cherry-pick the best available assistants and fill out a new staff.
Low regard. Nice.
"known to be held in low regard," lol.
we know what a NE boner Jeff has so maybe hearing that will help get Howie out of here quicker

Heckert to AZ was denied and he's supposedly interviewing with the Jets instead
any want romeo as the dc?
i did until i saw him walking with a cane at kc's last game. good black be cracked
He needed his knee drained and I guess it couldn't wait a week. As a DC, sure why not. No way for HC though
Back to Chip for a second, Banner is already in Arizona (http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2013/01/cleveland_browns_joe_banner_in.html) even though Chip won't talk about the NFL until Friday at the earliest. While he was there, he said what's up to Horton to satisfy the Rooney rule

He eluded to offense about a thousand times in his presser
Alluded, unless they're really going to focus on McCoy. Which they should.
and he alluded to howie not having any part in drafts prior to 2012
def minded coach all the way
Being an Eagles fan is like suffering from Batter Wife's Syndrome.

-The right coach for the job will sign somewhere else
-Andy Reid will win another superbowl elsewhere before the Eagles do
-Kelly Green still won't come back
-Promising talent will get hurt, and over achievers will be exposed
-Eli will win another superbowl
I think that sums it up. Go Eagles!

I keep telling myself they didn't mean it. I deserved it. It's all my fault.
I would take Romeo as the DC for sure.

was never really in on the gruden bandwagon, but i'd be all for cowher and think his personality would go over well in philly. oh well.
id be all for cowher if it was guaranteed you were getting pittsburgh bill....but i question at his age and after having been out the game if he would have the same fire...i kinda doubt it

I am shocked that good ol' voice of the fan Ang doesn't have a go to guy.
Why would he? Because if he does and the guy bombs he can't rip him. Stay neutral in the search so he has all the weaponry available. Maybe he'll roll those drooling dopey Dirty Thirty clowns out for the big occasion.
no one has a guy...theres people who some of us dont want...but if anyone has guy other than maybe a cowher because hes a proven great coach then they are talking out their ass
mel?
i mean look test wise yes...but i have no clue if hes gonna be a good coach
fair enough
Doesn't the Arizona DC kill the look test?
Meh. Try Chip. Get a stud d coordinator and run it down their throat
I think I'm settling on McCoy. He did good things with Teebow last year, so that shows that he can adapt his offense to his personnel.
I'm liking McCoy as well. It just wasn't Teblow. He made both Orton and Delhomme look like studs at one point. He gets the most out of what he's given on the offensive side of the ball. My larger concern with the coaching changes is the pick for defensive coordinator. I'd really like to see a switch to a 3-4 or just an emphasis on a big, space eating D-line. If I never hear the term "speedball" again it will be too soon.
i think switching to a 3-4 would set them back even further for a few years as they tried to get the personnel for it. i don't see a lot of 3-4 ready players on their team now.
i think the defense is close to being ok, the front 7 is good, but the secondary needs a complete overhaul. the d-coordinator is important though because i want somebody with energy that puts some farging balls into this defense
its certainly not the shambles that the secondary is but they definitely need to upgrade the front seven
they have a couple promising chips (particularly kendricks who i think has star potential) and demeco is demeco but everywhere else needs significant upgrading and is about as vanilla as it gets
i like their tackles
eh....they are all rotational or role player/depth types
Cox is a rotational player?
I think Cole/Graham could potentially make the transition initially to stand-up rushing LBs, and Cox/Thorton could make the move to DE. I believe they brought back Dixon who could be a stop gap at NT. Most teams that run the 3-4 currently often run a 4 man line in passing situations (New England for example). I think Ryans and Kendrick could play in the middle - beyond that, I don't see anyone worth suiting a particular system to. In either the 3-4 or 4-3, they've got to add a lot of guys that aren't "rotational" or "situational".
Also, the last few years a lot of teams (Skins, Colts) have swapped to the 3-4 when it seemed the personnel wasn't suited to it, and they got results with a season or two.

no he showed something...hes one of their "promising chips" and if he gets better should be a legit three down lineman
he had trouble getting up the field last year but thats expected when going from college to the pros...next year i will be disappointed if hes not in the backfield a lot more

I def dont see Cole getting any kind of burst standing up rushing the qb--esp since his burst has already declined from the down position. Graham--who knows. He could prob do it, but hes finally starting to come along a bit so im not too sure I would start tinkering with technique changes...but I like where your head's at and would love a 3-4 scheme
Caplan and Mosher are trying to cool the Chip enthusiasm this morning, saying he may not be the Eagles' top choice

Wasn't saying either guy could stand up and become a pro-bowl type OLB. I think there are a grand total two guys on the entire defense that might develop into above-average players. The rest of the guys on defense are average and completely replaceable.
Dancin Donny wants the Eagles to get a defensive coach and endorsed Nolan. He also likes Horton but admitted he's only being interviewed by teams cause he's black, and he says Philly is only the 3rd-most attractive head coaching opening behind Chicago and Arizona
What's so great about Arizona? Who wants to work for the Bidwells?
I'm on board with Nolan.
But, to be honest, I'm on board with anyone. What the hell.
Caplan is on WIP and thinks Jay Gruden is at the top of the eagles list. he thinks McCoy and Chipper are not as high as people think. he says Banner is infatuated with Chip and will whatever it takes to get him.
he said the Eagles have probably 5 or 6 guys on their list they want to talk to yet but have to wait for teams to get eliminated from the playoffs (Gruden with Cincy for example)
My only guess with Arizona is their defense is set. So if your pursuing an offensive type coach, they only have to worry about their side of the ball.
why is jay gruden at the very top of the list? wouldnt they prefer a guy thats run through and seen the nfl at all angles for multiple years and actually accomplished something in their respected positions? the guy came from arena ball and has been in the nfl for 2 years and his offense has actually regressed a bit this year still in the 20's.
be nice to have a guy that shows an incremental history of success--usually what happens when you get a promotion
They want Jon Gruden. Can not have. Therefore, Jay Gruden. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the line of thinking.
Philadelphia gets the wrong brother all the time.
And switching to a 3-4 would take a lot of overhauling.
Yeah it would take a lot of overhauling - but how would the overhaul be any different that what they have to do if they stay with the 4-3? Save two, maybe three players the rest is trash.
yeah why are people acting like switchin to a 3-4 would hurt their superbowl chances next year
this is the EXACT time to switch

The Eagles received permission to interview Arians and Seattle DC Gus Bradley next week
QuoteRapSheet
BREAKING: Chip Kelly is close to a deal to become the #Browns coach, according to a source informed of his situation.
Supposedly he still has an interview with the Eagles tomorrow though...
I hope someone lets us know when he IS at the Novacare Center tomorrow morning.
i cant imagine banner will let kelly go without a deal.....but the funny thing is the eagles arent even that interested in him
So does anyone here actually have a preference who winds up the HC? Or at least likes some candidates more than others?

I'm only upset if it's a known quantity, and the quantity sucks. Like Chan Gailey or Norv Turner. Highly doubt the Birds would do that though, they have more pride than that.
Beyond that it's a crapshoot. It'd be cool to have a coach who shows some emotion after all the years with Andy, but that's neither necessary nor sufficient.
Also: Next coach is probably gonna suck, that's just the odds.

i agree with all of this but i want the coach to have melanin
altho i like gus bradley
Also I'm not sold on Arians. He's flavor of the month because of the Colts storybook year. I'm in Pittsburgh. He sucked with the Steelers and is hated here.
also to old....arians is maybe a guy thats gets promoted from oc to hc of an already contending team....hes not a guy to start fresh with a rebuilding franchise
also hes has to have better things to do than work for howie roseman
Last two posts are right on. Arians, great story, good for him and how he held the Colts together but no thanks as head coach.
I'm hoping for McCoy. Don't know much about Gus Bradley other than he's had some damn good defenses in Seattle the past few seasons.
None of the discussed candidates really pumps my nads. I'm glad to see Kelly go to Cleveland, I REALLY though he'd be the next Eagles coach. I want Cowher but that isn't happening. My #1 guy was O'brien, but I'm glad he stayed at PSU.
Out of the guys discussed I guess I'd go Bradley then Mccoy.
1. mel tucker
2. keith armstrong
3. gus bradley
but yeah not excited about anyone
I honestly have no idea who those people are. Or much of anyone who's being discussed.
Mike Nolan cause he wore those suits and ...Arians rings a bell ... yeah. Don't know all these other names people are arguing about.
I'm just happy as hell it's not Andy farging Reid.
i didnt know who half of them were until about five minutes ago
Armstrong grew up in Levittown...no shtein.
For whatever reason I have this feeling they're going to pull a candidate out of nowhere. They'll interview all these coordinators then they'll go and hire someone from left field like George Seifert.

QuoteOregon coach Chip Kelly and the Cleveland Browns wrapped up seven hours of meetings Friday that were characterized as "very positive," though Kelly informed the Browns that he would proceed to interview with the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles, according to team and league sources.
Kelly interviewed for five hours with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner before they took a break and had a two-hour dinner. The sides agreed to talk again Saturday night after Kelly's interviews with the Bills later Friday night and the Eagles on Saturday.
While sources say Kelly has positioned himself as the favorite to become the next Browns coach, there is no contractual agreement in place. However, the two sides see no significant obstacles that would prevent a contract being completed if they decide to move forward Saturday night, the sources added.
Kelly informed Haslam and Banner that he wanted to "go through the process" by meeting with the Bills and Eagles, something he regretted last hiring season when he only interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source close to the Oregon coach.
Haslam and Banner did not object to Kelly's wishes to meet with those teams.
I love the 5 hour meeting, a break followed by 2 hour dinner then he met with the Bills part. I know it's a quick flight to Buffalo from Cleveland but what time was the meeting? Midnight? I'm sure it was real productive. He'll be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the birds meeting.
It's all part of Jeff's plan. Get him tired and worn out to the point he can't think straight, then get him to sign. Just like Stalin and Roosevelt, can't fail.
All of the meetings are in Arizona
Imagine interviewing with Joe Banner. Gotta be awkward right? You know that dude doesn't have any hobbies other than number crunching and finding ways to be a fleshpop so what does he talk about to lighten the mood? He's not some scotch slamming elder who womanizes and can be like "hey look at the tits on that broad over there would ya!"
Five hours of salary cap talk? What kind of spreadsheet you like to use?
BTW - Dio's infatuation with Mike Nolan and his suits is creepy. Enjoy the suits when they're 6-10 to 9-7 each year. But at least he will be dapper doing it!
Since hearing of him for the first time the other day, I've been reading a bit about Gus Bradley. The more I read the more I think he fits the Birds MO. Relative unknown but really well respected in NFL circles. He's young at 46, and seems to be thought of as innovative and understands the "new" NFL game. At this point I think that while it may not be Bradley, it'll someone with a similar background that becomes the next HC. I also think it's pretty farging disappointing the Birds haven't interviewed Horton, unless I missed something.

BOB was my 1st choice. Gus Bradley sounds interesting, as I wouldn't mind a Defensive HC.
Or retread and get BOB in a few years with his FO guy.
How bizarre. Since when do the people doing the hiring fly themselves out to interview the job seeker?
Desperation is a stinky cologne.
I can't get away from the feeling that the real problem with this team is Lurie.
If they hire someone after pissing all over themselves when he agrees to receive them at his leisure, I'm dropping my "anyone but Reid" position and hopping on the "farg you Lurie" bandwagon.
They asked permission to interview Jay Gruden
Can he bring Daulton and AJ Green with him?
Bunch of stories out there that the Eagles are going to meet with Syracuse HC Doug Marrone. I would definitely be on board with him. Being from upstate NY, the majority of my long-time buddies are SU fans and slob that dude's knob like no tomorrow.
I'm in the minority here but Jay Gruden intrigues me. Yeah, he's an Arena League guy but he's also been an NFL assistant for a long time now and he's been successful wherever he's gone.

All in! What are we, almost 20 years into this ownership and he's still clueless. I like the fact he lays low and doesn't have his mug on TV more than the team like Jerrah does but damnit show us something. Academy Awards and wind turbines are great but take this thing by the balls and get us a damn trophy.
I honestly don't get the Lurie hate. Did we prefer the guy who drank and gambled the team away, or the billionaire who was too cheap to pay Gang Green and who ran the team like a car dealership? We joke about the gold standard but do we remember what this franchise used to be like?
There are maybe three teams with owners that seem like they can do no wrong. Lurie definitely isn't in that group. But he's also not in the group of like twenty owners who are either blatantly senile or just incompetent at running a professional sports team. I have no problem with criticizing moves like keeping Howie or some of the petty vindictive moves that occur from time to time, but let's keep this shtein in perspective. I don't think it's impossible to win a Super Bowl with him in charge.

By the way - it was reported that Chip and the Eagles were still meeting (7+ hrs now) and Brian Startare tweeted he has a source telling him they're close on a 5yr deal.
He's never broken news before so take it for whatever it's worth.
im not a huge chip guy but i would jerk off to them beating banner for him
I'm ok with Chip.
Someone tweeted a pic of him today at Oregons practice with his dog and the dog had an Eagkes jersey on.
Howie will take a pic of the contract and his middle finger and text it to Banner
i dont hate him and i will give my full support (he cares) but i just dont want a guy who has never even sniffed the nfl before
Agreed partially.
Like with players I want [Singletary]winners[\Singletary] and productive guys. That's why when a guy from Northwester Eastern Southern Michigan state like Greg Jennings comes out I would have picked him. He put up numbers.
In the coaching sense you see college guys who fail but you have to look at the guy and see how his attitude is. Spurrier failed because he thought it was Gainsville North where he could get the gang back together and golf most days. Saban failed because he's a colossally anal retentive icehole who didn't know how to treat people who aren't scared of him.

No clue. Syracuse was pretty awful when he took over so he's had some success there. He has NFL experience with NO so maybe people speak highly of him.
Lawlor's breakdown on him
QuoteDoug Marrone is a coach that has grown on me the more that I've studied him. That's always a great sign. I watched Syracuse in their bowl game recently and thought he did a very good job there. Marrone gets a check in basically every box: small college coaching experience, major college coaching experience. NFL assistant, NFL coordinator, head coach in college, can lead a team, can build a program, experience with a great NFL QB, developed a college QB, and so on. He literally has done it all.
The downside to Marrone is that you don't know if there is anything great about him. While he was the OC with the Saints he was under Sean Payton and coaching Drew Brees. It is hard to know how much of the success goes to Marrone. He's rebuilt Syracuse from rock bottom, but his record there is 25-25. He's got the program on solid footing, but let's not make it sound like they're BCS material anytime soon.
Marrone knows offense. He's a former O-lineman. He values the line of scrimmage and the run game. He would love a chance to coach LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown.
As for building a staff, he's got a couple of former NFL guys working for him at Syracuse. Seems like he knows how to put together a good coaching staff already.
never heard of marrone till this offseason but he has the backing of some big time power players
belichek....parcells....payton
he did for syracuse what bob did for penn state....penn states troubles had the media attention but syracuse was actually worse off....it was bottom of the barrell
Okay, I'm on board the Marrone train.
I prefer Chipski

Yeah, SU was far worse. They were arguably the worst program in the nation when he took over. Marrone rebuilt them in a way that you could compare to starting over with an NFL team. He brought a hell of a coaching staff with him, some guys from the NFL and others from top D1 programs. They only had a handful of good players on the entire roster. They to develop all of their recruits, because a shtein program in upstate NY sure as hell isn't getting anybody elite. He turned Ryan Nassib (from Malvern, ayo) into a legitimate NFL prospect when he was a scrub recruit.
So he has the rebuilding project behind him, along with the success he had at New Orleans. Obviously it's tough to determine how crucial he was to their great offense because of Brees and Payton still lighting it up. Kind of like people considering Ron Rivera a great defensive coach when he was available, but did it when he was under Lovie Smith the whole time. It's hard to determine, but I'd believe in him.

its been pretty well known since the start that kelly isnt at the top of their list
im sure it could be a smoke screen but i dont think so.....i think they are farging with the kelly market
On his end, Kelly also said that although he expects to make a fairly quick decision, this year he wants to do his due diligence and go through interviews with everyone he really wants to. Even if nothing else it should help him to get his best contract.

I think I like McCoy best. I think there's a lot to like about a guy who's adjusted his offense to and gotten the most out of so many different QB's over the last few years. The guy's gotta be letting out a big ass sigh of relief now that he's got Peyton running his show. He fits the up and coming coordinator category I feel most comfortable with for the new HC.
I'm also intrigued by Chip though... I wouldn't mind him at all if he were set up with a rock solid DC (In my head, it's Lovie, even though he's been getting too many HC looks to be interested in DC right now). I admit that in this Lurie/Banner cat fight tonight, I realized that I would be cool with him if the Eagles liked him. The no prior NFL does bother me some though, but so many different people around the league don't think it'll be much of an issue in the long run... who knows?
With either one of them though (or anybody else), it depends on the staff they assemble. Although Kelly's well respected in a lot of circles, I dunno how cats already in the NFL will feel about coming over to work under a college coach who's never been where they're at. McCoy is already a respected coordinator who probably has real solid connections with guys from his former teams.
Feva makes some good points...
The Eagles had what - the second youngest team? One of the points made by some talking head I was listening to on WIP was that Andy's message had become stale...that the young bucks just didn't respond to him like players did when he first came into the league. Actually I think it was Ike Reese saying this...so he thought the college guy who has no nfl run wouldn't be an issue as much now as ten years ago because of how different the players are now.
I'd be ok with either McCoy or Chip. Gus Bradley intrigues me too because I dig that Hawks defense.
feva is in depth like a mother....i love it.....i wish i could be that way
How can you not love IGY? :-D
As a jaded Eagles fan, I really don't think it matters if a guy has NFL experience or not. Actually, I kind of prefer the non-nfl experience. Maybe his fresh look at things brings that new thing that is needed to take this franchise in a different direction.
Nolan, Mariucci, Wade Phillips, Chan Gailey, Dom Capers, McDaniels, Sherman, Reid, Frazier, Tice, Mora, etc. They all had NFL experience.
NFL experience is over rated. NFL and professional sports is people management. You have to let them know you are the new Judge, Prosecutor, Defender, and Jury in town. Once that is set, weed out the bad seeds, and get your team ready.
I hope it is Kelly. Maybe that will be enough to deal with the new threat of the NFL and that is the RGIII's of this world.
you really have no idea how its gonna go
belichick = flame out with browns
uncle pete = college coach after flame out with jets, pats
harbaugh = stanford
other harbaugh = special teams coach
jon fox = good dc then apparent flame out with carolina
theres no recipe in the world to choose a good coach. chip might work, might not. mccoy might work, might not. cant scout this shtein.

Why is it that the Eagles aren't looking more strongly at Lovie Smith?
Scratch Marrone off the list:
Quote
Adam Schefter
Filed to ESPN: Doug Marrone has agreed to leave Syracuse and become the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
An outside the box pick for the Bills. I like it. My Buffalo buddy isn't pleased because it weakens the Orange and does nothing for a floundering Bills franchise. He wanted Kelly (which I insisted was never going to happen, because really, it's farging Buffalo, for God's sake.).
Oh well, I wouldn't have thrown a fit if the Eagles had ended up with him.
I'd still prefer McCoy, though.
Quote from: FastFreddie on January 06, 2013, 05:11:46 AM
Why is it that the Eagles aren't looking more strongly at Lovie Smith?
Probably because the Eagles want an offense. Also I'm not sure why they'd get rid of a coach who flames out in the playoffs most years only to bring in a coach who gets his team pretty close to making the playoffs most years.
I'd take Lovie as a DC anytime.

Browns said to not like how Kelly has handled himself, which means he has strung them out too long. I wonder if the Browns are just leaking this out as a tactic.
Either way the Browns have lost out on Marrone while Banner got his beauty sleep and now out on Kelly.
This is Havas porn.
Since Schefter is saying Kelly has to decide I'm assuming he was offered the HC job?
QuoteAdam Schefter
So Cleveland is restarting its HC search while Chip Kelly must decide whether to go to Philadelphia or remain at Oregon.
The more I read about Gus Bradley the more I want him as the next HC.
Ugh yeah for whatever reason I'm not at all excited about Chip Kelly.
sounds to me like kelly was staying at oregon the whole time...these interviews are an ego trip

I hope this is true and they're a better fit, but you have to wonder if Kelly wants to go back to Oregon for another year with the sanctions that are about to come down on the program.
So, obviously, I don't follow college football, so I don't now much about it. How is Oregon supposed to recruit players when their coach is looking to leave all the time?
Oregon is basically an NFL franchise facilities wise thanks to Nike.
I hope he stays. Kelly situation reeks of desperation and anytime this ownership reaches it never works out. Hire a decent nfl guy and go get some players.

That happens to many programs each year. Every college coach is always lookin' to dip out. They recruit on lies that they will be there to provide great education and groom the kids and then once someone else offers a million bucks more they're gone.

Not saying Kelly will come here (or that I even want him), but have you ever juggled more than one option of anything at the same time? As annoying as it is for fans, he's doing the right thing.
And its only been two days.
Maybe they can trade a draft pick to the Jets for both Rex Ryan and Tebow. Maybe that would shut you fargers up.

#Browns walked away from Chip Kelly because they weren't sure his heart was 100% into leaving Oregon, league source said. They need 100%.
Read: Banner didn't hear yes right away, took his ball and went home.
If I'm the owner of the Cleveland Browns, I worry about the mental health of any candidate who is "100% sure" he wants to coach the Cleveland Browns.

I can confirm reports that #Oregon coach Chip Kelly is staying in college. Apparently, #Nike founder Phil Knight stepped up.
Sal Pal, Caplan and Missanelli on Sports Final:
-- Sal Pal says money was never discussed during the Browns meeting and Banner & crew were annoyed that Chip still wanted to talk to Buffalo and Philly
-- They think Dunn tried to get the teams to outbid each other and it backfired
-- They think screwing around with 3 teams in 2 years damages his credibility, and the fact that he wasn't interested in a big market NFC East team says something about him
-- Sal Pal believes the Eagles are interested in hiring someone that has head coaching experience already, and his pick is Arians
-- Caplan says Bradley is the guy

If they were going to hire a coach who Shady felt couldn't showcase his talents properly, they were going to hire the wrong coach.
I wonder how he felt when Andy was here.
Indifferent, just like everyone else.
Kelly's now had three NFL owners pull a farging chair out for him and he's refused to sit down each time.
Pretty sure billionaires don't appreciate being toyed with like that. At all.

I think it's hilarious that Kelly used Lurie like a cum sock to get a bump from Phil Knight.
I think it's funnier that the national media heads are saying he damaged his credibility by doing so. Um, what credibility? He's a college coach without a day's experience in the NFL.
Dude just got caked off and he did it by using an arrogant dickface in Jeffrey Lurie. Good for him.

If you're feeling lucky, I could ask "General_Failure" to choose a title utilizing his rapier wit.
Pun Master?
One of the reporters that covers Oregon thinks Chip is waiting for Belichick to retire and the Pats job is the only NFL one he really wants
Won't Belichick and Brady retire at the same time?
I would think that he wants the Pats job more for the strong ownership and the "hometown" connection than wanting Tom Brady to run the pistol.

interviewing Lovie Smith on Thursday
Wow, not sure how I feel about Lovie. He did always have his defense playing their asses off though.
Do not want.
Good defensive guy but no offense...ever.
But it would be funny if he got hired because the press corps would hate his PCs - they were bitching about it a week ago when someone brought up Lovie's name
im not saying dont get an offensive coach or get lovie but it is possible to have a good offense even if your head coach has a defensive background
his attitude is almost as bad as andy's. big pass.
he would be andy part 2
same schtick, just with a defensive background and black*
*is a cornball brotha
Are you saying Lovie is as tragic a negro as is McNabb?
I would be fine with Lovie. His players always seem to play hard for him and appears to have a good defense. He would have to select an OC who can take advantage of Shady and the receivers and develop Foles. I am more concerned about the ferret, Howie. If we don't get some better players/draft, I don't care who the coach is, they will suck.
Hence the mass suicide that will take place.
If it were a Tony Dungy/Colts situation, where he just walks in to an offensive staff and players that are already doing their thing, it would be great. Here, that would be Marty and Vick, and god I hope Marty already signed with the Chiefs. So, yeah, pass on Lovie.
Jay Gruden is out. He says he'll interview with teams but plans to return to the Bengals anyway
If they're going to hire a retread why not hire someone who's actually won something?
I'd rather have Brian Billick than Lovie Smith.
The offensive genius who couldn't build an offense?
Hire Billick for head coach, Chuckie for D.C. & Lovie for O.C.

That plan's so crazy IT JUST MIGHT WORK!

Jon Gruden as head coach and de facto OC
Rob Ryan as DC
What could go wrong?
I know we're not supposed to talk about the EMB here but the love for Lovie there is both mystifying and comically awesome.
Seriously. Let's hire a guy who has one playoff appearance since 2006 and one playoff win. That's sooooo much better than Reid, AMIRITE?!?
They'd use up all the f-bombs in the world and no one else would have any left.

Me either.
Gus Bradley, Mike McCoy or Jon Gruden.
im in on GUS
there are enough whiz kids out there who can run an offense. gus is a great defensive coach and appears to have the make up of someone that can control a locker room.
So those in on Gus include IGY, me, and now MDS.
I would venture to guess that he will not be the hire. And if he is, something will come up about him (loving Jesus, voting Republican, says "we" in presser, et al) to make him jump to the other side of the fence.
with 40 f bombs in 60 seconds we know he isnt a jesus lover or a republican....so we are safe there
lets get real guys...even with gus, these Hoydas on defense won't be laying wood like seattle's D did this year. maybe he has a good eye for drafting guys who can though.
yeah regardless of who the coach is everyone knows the defense needs a complete overhaul

howie says that the job is so attractive because they have a great owner....but fails to mention its so unattractive because he is running the franchises football operations
i mean for god sakes how do you go thru the process of hiring an nfl head coach with no football people involved...for example the chargers just hired ron wolf as a consultant to see them thru the time it takes to hire their coach

thats not to say they wont hire him but if they do it sbecause they wanna say they got brian kelly out of notre dame not that they are enthralled with brian kelly
in order of who they should hire here are the available coaches the eagles are or have been attached to:
1. keith armstrong
2. gus bradley
3. mike mccoy
4. lovie smith
5. brian kelly
6. mike nolan
7. bruce arians
i may have missed one but i think thats it

haha... i was so looking forward to seeing jay's level-headed response to this.
i put kelly ahead of nolan cause to me nolan is a known quantity and that quantity screams coordinator...hes not head coach material imo...and really as a DC he made his name coaching the ravens a defense i could have coached and been successful...other than those years i dont think hes done anything super dooper...hes a good coordinator but hes not special to the point he should be a head coach
i put kelly ahead of arians because of arians age and the fact that hes 60 and needed a guy to almost die of cancer to get his first head coaching job in the league
kelly offers something those two guys dont and that is hope
I don't know if he'd be able to make the jump, but he's been a winner everywhere he's been, and there isn't a bigger pressure job than Notre Dame anywhere in sports, so taking the Eagles job would be no big deal in that regard.
wow are you kidding me.....every single big sec and big 12 job has infinitely more pressure than notre dame...you people never cease to amaze
I just don't want a college coach without a proven NFL track record. Period.
so howie has the reputation of being the whore to go to in order to get a raise in college
kelly might be doing that but dont think for a second howie didnt go after him...even if its just an interview howie will be the guy that went next level and tried to get notre dames coach...a guy that hasnt even been on the radar for nfl jobs...also wouldnt suprise me if hes doing it to impress and/or one up banner
I think he's doing it because he doesn't have a clue and thinks that if he coaches ND, he has to be good.

Ha! Truth.
Team devolution is not complete. Until Roseman is gone a dismal interregnum will persist until rock-bottom. Then Laurie sells or accepts he needs to completely start over. Who coaches becomes less important as one listens to Howie whistle past the graveyard and the search shifts to merely whose willing to coach.
Recall that the days between arrivals of Vermiel, Ryan and Reid were dim indeed.
Interregnum.

if they dont get any action by the weekend look for howie to get a little paniky in the ole gold standard war room. i think the ND look-see was a bit of the panic settin in already.
get ready for ray rhodes part deux
if a bradley or armstrong blew them away in an interview and they feel strongly about one of them as their man then i can live with and respect that and the waiting is fine....otherwise get the farg on with it before all the good coordinators get scooped...inept worthless pos franchise buffalo has already named their coach and both coordinators for god sakes
It's January 10.
I realize the Eagles haven't been through this for a while but maybe people forget that most of the time this isn't a process that takes only 10 days. Five other teams are still searching, too. One of them only fired their coach today.
the difference is the eagles have interviewed 12 people in those ten days...they arent exactly taking their time or being measured here
only the bears have interviewed that many.....cards and chargers for example combined have conducted six interviews
they look like a chicken with their head cut off on coke....they have done enough...posturing time is over...get it done and make sure you have the best possible pick of the litter when it come to coordinators
Who cares if they interview 100 guys? They are probably waiting 2 weeks for McCoy and Bradley anyway, so they might as well interview other people. Maybe someone will be a surprise standout.
There's no evidence it matters when you hire the guy, and they would probably rather look like a headless chicken now than when they are stuck with a shtein coach.
C'mon. You want this done soon for the same reason I do. I want to know who the new coach is going to be. It's frustrating not to know. But that's really the only reason to care about when it happens.
no i want the best possible pick of coordinators and position coaches....would have loved pettine
and i already said im fine if they are waiting for bradley armstrong or mccoy....if not they should be crucified...and they need to stop the charade by doing things like brian kelly....if they are waiting on one of those coaches then there is definitely already an oral agreement....no need to try and show off...its unbecoming...buts thats howie and thats why the rest of the league hates him
The Banners hired Chudzinski as the HC and rumors have it that Norv will be his OC.
Eric Bieniemy expected to be Andy's RB coach.
Good news in the sense maybe Eagles keep Ted Williams.

if they dont get any action by the weekend look for howie to get a little paniky in the ole gold standard war room. i think the ND look-see was a bit of the panic settin in already.
get ready for ray rhodes part deux
Why is everyone in panic mode? I could see if it was a week or two after the superbowl, but whats the rush to hire someone now just because we can? Doesn't it make sense that we're still waiting seeing as how the playoffs are still going? Would you rather have hired Robby Chudd or Norv Turner just to have a head coach.
I don't see the rush. Only downside is that maybe some coordinators will be unavailable, but I haven't heard that many get hired yet.
Also I don't get everyon slobbering over Jon Gruden, people i talk to are acting like its an open and shut case. If it was wouldn't the other teams be climbing over each other to get him? Instead we have Jaws and Vermeil lobbying for him tryin gto drum up interest. I get he feeling he's following Chip Kelly and Brian Kelly trying to just fleece his current employer for a raise.
nfl sells itself...people dont watch for announcers...in fact mnf had their lowest ratings in five years this year

100% accurate.
I have not been keeping up with this, but did Howie or Lurie ever actually fire the rest of the coaching staff?
I haven't heard anyone here post anything about it.
If BigEd didn't report it, it didn't happen.

They're often kept on until a new coach is hired and assembles his own staff, which I believe happened here.
Some they let go like Melvin and Culley but others have been kept.
Duce is one they're holding onto
Andy is probably trying to take Rick Burkholder too even though he is under contract

Sure, sure. But the scenario with Britt is different. He's a felon and a drug addict. In my world, when your kid is an adult farg up, you don't hire him. You tell him to get his shtein together and maybe, if he's actually getting his shtein together, you put in a good word for him with a pal who has a roofing company or something like that. The point is, the farg up has to earn his own goddamn way back into society, he doesn't get handed a job by daddy. How farged up is that if you're an employee and the boss brings his loser son onto payroll? Yeah. Not a fun work dynamic.
In this case, Andy never bothered to raise the kid himself--working 100 hours a week, cops find his house full of drugs and weapon is plain sight, etc.--so I can kind of understand his thinking: he feels guilty and he thinks he's helping the guy by handing him an job on a silver platter. Fair enough, parents think stupid shtein like that all the time.
What I really don't get is...how does this plan sound like a good idea to Andy's boss? What the farg was Lurie thinking? What are the Chiefs thinking?
I would never ever allow this to happen in an organization I control/am responsible for, and if someone came to me with such a bad idea I'd have to question his judgement.
These people are idiots.

I agree. I am now rooting for this to happen just for the pure entertainment value.
It's an added bonus that it would set Notre Dame football back big-time. I don't really HATE the Irish, but the whole "we're too good to pick a conference" and "we're so good we have our own TV contract" stuff is tiring. Would love to see them in the SEC for a while to get some true comeuppance.
I can't think of a candidate I'd want less than Brian Kelly. Maybe the guy the Browns hired but it's close.

Oh, well if you're talking historically, then maybe. But that can be said about every trade and profession out there. I thought you were talking about all those guys in the present and was a little confused since the elder Gruden, Schotty and Fassel are not currently working in the NFL.

My hopes are really up for Bradley at this point. If they had lost last weekend I think he'd already be the coach. What sucks for us is that Seahawks are going to manhandle the Falcons, so we'll wait another week or so.

Seattle would have beaten Washington with a healthy RG3.
Hard to say. Gimpy RG3 had them up 14-0 after 1.
Besides, I think you know better than to engage Havas with any anti-Skins/RGIII rhetoric.

They were riding a wave of emotion. The RG3 knee excuse is a cop out, he didn't legitimately hurt his leg until late in the 4th. Everyone kept saying what a great pocket passer he was, well his numbers blew. And Mcnabb threw for 4 TDs on a broken ankle.

Was wondering the same thing. You'd think there'd be some kind of restriction against farging with another team's guy so close to one of the biggest game of his life. Guess not.
Hell, maybe that's part of their plan. Distract him and get him thinking about the future instead of the game...get your guys 3 days later instead of 3 weeks later.
1.5 legs = 2 drives 14 pts without even trying
1 leg = 10 drives zero pts
seattle isnt a bad team they are just perceived as better than they are...atlanta perceived as worse than they are because they can never win a big game...but they won in almost every big spot this year...i think they are a different team
seattle 3-5 on the road and getting less than a fg?...they lost at miami - carolina - detroit - st louis and arizona this year
time off got atlanta real healthy...meanwhile chris clemons out...atlanta will run right at bruce irvin...seattles pass rush will not go off either...look at the numbers matt ryan threw almost 250 more passes than russell wilson but was sacked five less times
atlanta will win relatively easy and gus badley will be the eagles coach by wednesday
They're a top-3 running team, they've won 8 out of their last 9, and they have a bruising and intimidating defense.
But sure, they're wildly overrated.
we will find out tomorrow and thts why they ply the games but i LOVE the spot atlanta is in here
Agreed. I still think it's gonna be Green Bay & New England in the SB, but I wouldn't be shocked if Atlanta made it.
I'd be thrilled if it was Denver/Seattle, though. I would at least watch the game for pleasure instead of money.
I hope Bradley blows them away in his interview today. Literally and figuratively. If he has to kneel down and blow Howie and Jeff to keep Brian Kelly off the sidelines here I hope he takes one for the team.
What a goddamned joke.
FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST SOMEBODY HUG JAY!!!
So all the chips pushed to center on Bradley. Nice how they've painted themselves in the corner delusional that they'd be anyone's first choice over chi or sd. And only gets worse if sea wins. Can't wait to see plan b or c
They are over thinking this. Hiring for next 14 years instead of the 3 or 4 it will likely be. Once bradly zoos them have howie make the 2am booty call to gruden or whoever and go get some motherfarging coordinators while there still are some.

The main reason I think it's a lock the Seahawks win is because the Falcons defense reminds me of the Eagles defenses under Jimmy J, light, quick, and focused on getting after the quarterback. The Seahawks are going to maul the Falcon's front seven. I think it's going to make for a great game - and lead to an even more ridiculous NFC Championship game (SF.vs. SEA).
That aside, I love the way both Seattle and SF play offense and defense. I'd love for the Eagles to put something in place that mirrors them.

how can you not be impressed by billick...he knows his shtein and i have trust in him putting together a decent staff because of his resume and the respect he has in the circle of coaches....dont get me wrong i want a gus or keith armstrong more but who is going to follow someone like one of those guys...billick commands respect
I'm not hating on him and I wouldn't be mad if they hired him.
Same amount of SBs as King Gruden
Ugghhhhh...they're going to farging hire Billick I just know it.
Earlier I said there wasn't a candidate I wanted less than Brian Kelly/Nolan/Arians.
Now there's one: Brian Billick
Worst coach to ever win a SB. How can you listen to him during games and actually think he has a farging clue? I'd rather have Reid back.
Judging a coach by his announcing is wrong, I think.
He seems clueless about things like time management etc. Anyone who would consider a Fg/onside kick that game should not be a NFL HC. Also he said Seattle couldn't throw over the middle not noting the 2 TOs they had at the end etc etc. I don't want him for other reasons, but he seems to be out of it broadcasting games.

A football coach is in his element in the sideline - not in a booth. So he says dumb things but that doesn't mean he's less than qualified to be a coach because he said to kick the FG which I believe he said was an option not that they could do it.
He was a HC and OC for awhile.
He's not some bum because his color analysis stinks
Get Lombardi.
He's picked as an announcer for his football knowledge, lol at the 'out of his element' comment.
Re-treads I'd take over Billick:
Cowher
Gruden

Any other re-tread
Billick

It's not the analyzing part or sticking his foot in his mouth sometimes, it's comments about strategy during in-game situations which is worrisome. He said some shtein today that anyone watching football for more than a year wouldn't have said.
I'll run the risk of some unknown. I like Billick's personality but would much rather go the coordinator route.

Listen to this interview and tell me this sounds like someone you want running your football team:
http://www.975thefanatic.com/teams/eagles/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10484097
I mean he actually says "even if you hired someone who won 4 superbowls they still wouldn't be as good of a coach as Andy Reid".
If they hire him I might boycott the season. farg this shtein.

He's an Andy friend and sticking up for him. And probably slept in igy's hyperbolic chamber...but it doesn't discount his achievements as a HC
the one thing less meaningful than evaluating a coach by his television commentary is evaluating him by his 97.5 comments
What achievements? You mean Barry Switzering his way to a SB? Any coach in the league could have won with that D. He's supposed to be an offensive guy yet his offense blew. Dear god please don't let this happen.
He was a good OC and HC
Again I'm not the guys agent or anything but they could do worse than hiring him
Is there any doubt that Billick is their guy? They interviewed him in secret and the meeting went for 8 hours which is how long it went with the other candidates they were serious about. This morning on Sportsrise Reuben Frank said he's hearing they don't want to hire a coach who has never been a HC before...plus this goes with my coach from left field feeling I had.
If this happens I'm going to be sick.
Billick went to BYU and is a Mormon too! Are you farging kidding me.

I was thinking since Billick is so horrible maybe hiring him is a stroke of genius: He sucks, they get the #1 pick next season, they take Clowney.
IN
then they have a #1 defense with an offensive genius coach
There's a flaw in your plan. You forgot that these are The Smartest Guys in the Room. Assuming they had a #1 pick overall, you could bet the farm that they're not taking the player you want.

I just know they're going to trade the #4 pick back a bunch of times so they have 30 picks this season and a bunch of 4ths and 5ths next season.
Then they'll draft nothing but undersized linebackers to convert to DEs.

The teams that haven't done shtein in a decade are on the ball with picking up coaches, surely they know something everyone else doesn't!

Quote from: ice grillin you on January 13, 2013, 03:41:44 PM
id take billick in a heartbeat...dont think hes the best coach ever but hes as good as anyone else in the mix is great guy a great speaker and understands philly
My big reservation with him is that he was supposed to be some sort of "offensive genius" and his offenses in Bodymore sucked, or were wildly inconsistant at best. And his best QB during that time was Trent Dilfer. But I do like his "sideline persona" and I do think overall that he's a pretty good coach. I wouldn't be in love with him right off the bat, but I don't think I'd hate the move either.
right
is there anyone they could hire where we wouldnt have questions
No, there really isn't any "hot commodity" or "must have" guys out there right now. Well, I guess there's some hot commodity guys out there but I think that's more due to a relatively weak crop of coaching candidates than anything else. Not that Reid didn't have to go, but leave it to the Eagles to need a coach at a time when there aren't any overly attractive options out there.
eagles have no coach and a high pick.....so its simply shocking that the current coaching pool reflects the talent at the top of this draft
so who does gus fill his staff with?
No clue but I'd imagine he keeps Williams and Duce to coach backs.
Better be someone worth a shtein though
.
I wonder more about the defense...that's going to make or break it imo
as long as it isnt billick im cool

I don't see why people care how many candidates they bring in..I agree that dragging time can hurt, but people bitching that 15 guys have been brought in are dumb. As long as they hire the right guy, they can interview however many guys as they please.
For the record, I don't think it'll be Gus - my guess is it will be someone like Wiz, who is thrown in the mix way late..actually, itll probably be someone we haven't even discussed in this god awful thread to this point.

My suggestion;
HC: Gus
OC: McAdoo
DC: Ken Norton Jr
funny, I looked at the current seahawk staff and thought norton could be a possibility too
With the second interview coming, it sure looks like it's going to be Gus.
And he's going to be a really good coach too, because I saw him say the F word in a video.

I'm ok with that too. However how long to they stay if another opportunity arises? Do they step down to coordinator roles or wait it out?
Or do you go young across the board and build it?
I'd rather build it and have some long term stability in grooming the young corps. If we had all the pieces in place, then I would gamble on experienced HC's as coordinators for the short term in hopes of winning it.

just read on pft...probably pure speculation....that it could billick at OC
NO
dude made his nut with moss/carter/robert smith and randall. a lot of people would have looked good with that. then he goes to bodymore, sans talent, and his offenses stink. and its not like hes got a ton of talent to deal with here. pass.
He at least had the good sense to run the ball, so there's that.
My thinking is the Eagles are going to suck with Howie regardless, so our suffering means the rest of the NFL won't have to listen to him announce games.
As far as announcers go, his replacement will likely be worse.

The Eagles have plenty of talent on offense, it's just wasted because the QB and most of the O-line sucks.
Anyway I'm not going to stress out about who gets chosen for OC when we've just gone through a decade of the combo of 5-27 Mornhinweg and in-game Andy calling the plays.
Also I'm not sure what people's expectations are for the beginning of a multiyear rebuild, but this team wouldn't win 8 games next year with Belichick coaching. The current roster is not going to look much like the next winning roster.
Except for PIMP who is beyond reproach because he keeps it real.
per a sd radio station gus has accepted the eagles job and it will be announced when contract details are ironed out which is happening now
Yup.. Just gonna say its on CB too.
Good. Probably the best of mediocre options. It'll be interesting to see how the O Coordinator thing shakes out.
Anyone else get a sinking feeling we are in for Buddy part Duex with Bradley?
Angry/Firey DC willing to drop the F bomb...
Will be a fan favorite...
Won't win a playoff game...
damn and i thought i was negative
fyi if bradley becomes buddy then it would be pretty much a dream come true hire
Wasn't going for negative but I see how that would be seen.
Hey, I live in Portland now and haven't seen the sun in 6 weeks. Could be seasonal depression. :-D
must be....dook hasnt even signed his name to a deal and the ship is already sinking and has no chance to ever even win a single playoff game...thats some dark suicidal type shtein
there is not one coach out there where you wouldnt have some kind of negative feeling because the lack of talent brings out those feelings. had this team been a little above average in talent a specific hire becomes way more important.
but bradley will do. just because dude freaks out on the sidelines doesnt mean he can be a head coach. he might get respect from his players by doing so or they might tune him out who knows. either way he has fire and that alone right there brings hope and is what this team and fans need in the worst way.

http://www.seattlepi.com/sports/football/article/Mora-heeds-advice-hires-A-plus-Bradley-as-1297417.php
QuoteRe-creating the call from Kiffin, Mora slipped into his high-pitched, rapid-delivery impersonation: " 'Hey, J.L., J.L., I got to talk to you about this guy Gus Bradley.' "
Mora worked for Kiffin with the New Orleans Saints, when both were on the staff of Mora's father.
Kiffin still calls the younger Mora "J.L.," and it's relevant because the younger Mora has repeatedly been referred to as "Jim Mora Jr." by the national media in recent weeks.
He is not a Junior, but Jim L. Mora (for Lawrence). His father is Jim E. Mora (for Earnest).
But it was more what Kiffin said about Bradley than the way he said it that prompted Mora to bring the Tampa Bay linebackers coach in for an interview.
"Monte says, 'J.L., listen to me. I have got a guy here in Tampa that is one of, if not, the finest football coaches I have ever worked with. He's an A-plus. He's a once-in-a-lifetime coach. You need to talk to him,' " Mora recalled.
"He said, 'J.L., this guy is special. You have to bring him in. You have to talk to him.' "
Now, may I commence masturbation?
We're all still waiting for you to stop.

PE suggests Gus' DC could be Florida DC Dan Quinn (his DL coach in Seattle in 09-10; also coached DL for the Niners, Dolphins and Jets) or Georgia DC Todd Grantham (DL coach for the Texans, Colts and Cowboys; DC for the Browns; uses the 3-4)

Master negotiators!!
the past two weeks angelo and that dumb whore rhea have been complaining about why these interviews need to be so long. who needs 9 hours to talk to a head coach. farging ed rendell said it should take 90 minutes.
then mike lombardi comes on and said those interview lengths are legit and needed because owners and gms need to run through an entire gambit of situations and questions to really get a feel for the candidate.
as soon as lombardi gets off, angelo and rhea both say "well, i still don't think these interviews need to take this long"
farging angelo at his best....farging clown
i agree with him....90 minutes is obviously ridiculous....but so is ten hours
ive never even spoke to gus bradley and i know hes the right guy....why do they need 11 hours
you have no idea if he's the right guy.
you like that he's fiery and has a good youtube video. you have no idea what type of offense he'd bring in, what he thinks of the current roster, what his philosophy is late in games, how does he run a training camp, etc...
my point was that a nfl personnel guy just told him on the phone that the long interviews are typical and for the most part necessary and he just says farg that my opinion is the same. he's a joke
you can interview gus bradley or anyone else for 36 hours straight and the smartest football guy in the world wouldnt know if hes gonna be a good coach....references are more important than any interview...if monte kiffin says hes a once in a lifetime coach thats good enough for me...let him in let him do his thing and see what happens...you do need a few hours just to get a sense of the man but other than that the rest is bunk
lombardi is not going to say otherwise and take the chance of pissing off the the rest of the fraternity and possibly jeopardize potential job openings
10 hour job interviews are just something that came about over the last half decade and now everyone thinks they need to do it or they will fall behind everyone else....its a true copycat league
if anyone needs to do a long ass interview its the coach interviewing the team and the new city he will be in to see if its the right place and enviroment for him...like if a 10 hour interview included driving around philly and seeing different neighborhoods and the like and taking the coach out to the palm then i could understand....but a ten hour interview of the team grilling the coach is complete overkill...because you are getting very little out of it....no one knows shtein until these guys get on the job
grotz is suggesting that maybe the eagles think Gus isn't ready. that would be infuriating. if the guy has the references that he has, you have to live with some growing pains while he learns the nuances of the job.
couple guys think it might be Wisenhunt if not Gus.
i like that better than Billick or Lovie

i could see gus being to self confident...not exactly in your face but way to strong of a personality to the point it intimidated howie and set off his napolean complex alarms
billick and lovie would fit exactly what howie is looking for imo
lovie maybe...but billick? billick is a brash, somewhat in your face guy
not to management tho...to his players and especially the press
i also think hes mellowed greatly...maybe its age maybe he just doesnt have that fire anymore...but when hes on the radio now its like night and day from the person he was even a few years ago...plus he hasnt been in the mix for a job in the last five years or whatever...in an interview these days i think he would pretty much blow the owner of a team if thats what he thought would get him the job
whisenhut seems to me like hed be much tougher and more emboldened in an interview than billick
Lovie was the guy I wanted all along. The defense is much more broken than the offense, and he's consistently had the Bears' D playing at a high level. He's never been great at putting together an offense, but the bar hasn't been set very high there after the last couple of seasons anyway... Even were he to pick an OC out of a hat, it still might be marginally better.
the thing i like best about lovie is not even his coaching its his eye....he knows good defenders when he sees them...problem is i cant see him having anything more than minimal input into player acquisition if even that
You don't hire Andy Reid and then say Gus Bradley isn't ready.
Illusions a grandeur that end in a SB appearance in 2013 need to stop - make the damn hire
It's clear that Lurie wants to draw a hard line and make sure that Roseman has final say on personnel. However, even shakedown Howie would be insane to not take serious counsel with his head coach... whoever the hell it is.
howie is a snake of the highest degree, there is no way he doesn't leave himself an out when picking players. if he counsels the hc he can always say that a draft pick was a guy that he and coach talked about and agreed on, but never take ownership for it himself
if they hire lovie it will be precisely because they know he wont ask for nor will he care if hes not involved in PP decisions
right now im pissed but i will be beside myself if they hire a defensive coach and its not gus
id take lovie as DC in a heartbeat tho that seems like overkill if you were to hire a defensive guy like gus
this seems like a huge reach at this point but a caller on wip suggested that gus is a man of 100% integrity and keeping his word and thats why he went to jacksonville rather than cancel on them...and that he will ultimately come back to philly and sign there

This. 10 hour job interviews are the result of the corporate mentality taking over sports. And it's also why people get so excited about Wonderlic scores. And I think that Lurie is one of the owners at the forefront of this transition from sport/business to business/sport. This is why Banner ran the team for so many years and why Roseman runs it now. It's not a team, it's a business and in order to run a business, Lurie wants someone in charge with a background in business rather than someone with 30 years of football knowledge and experience.
Does anyone remember Reid's intro press conference? I damn sure do. He sounded very "corporate" throughout the entire thing, talking about plans and formulas and proposals. I'm almost certain that he showed Lurie a power point during his interview and probably referred to his coaching staff as a focus group.
I could see maybe 4 or 5 hours on an interview. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable handing my billion dollar baby over to a nanny after 90 minutes. But multiple 10 hr interviews? Come on. Really? They don't even spend that long interviewing you for a Top Secret clearance.

you just interviewed an incredibly animated coach who i assume really wants an nfl job and would put fourteen thousand % into it and let him go to sign a guy who walked away once already and is only coming back because you offered him more money
this has nothing to do with anything but to show banner that they were able to get a guy he really wanted and who was thought to be unattainble

I'll give the guy a chance because who knows but personally I think it's a Spurrier type of hire. College coach... High profile...niche version of a spread offense...you just know they threw a shteinload of money at him at the last minute and he couldn't resist.
Wow. I guess it could go either way.
The one thing I'll have to hope for is they brought out Gus, and he said, "Howie's a dope, I won't come if he has say." Making it 100% of the candidates saying the same thing - so they knocked Howie down a peg and hired the guy they wanted.
A guy can hope.

[knee jerk reaction]I think I might hate Chip Kelly already. And it really has nothing to do with his ability or what he may/may not bring to the table. He more or less just Favre'd the Ducks and Eagles. Of course, a parade would probably fix all of that. But until then, consider me off the Kelly bandwagon. [/knee jerk reaction]

or a camburn in 3 weeks

I would've preferred Gus but it'll be interesting to see what happens with the team. I'll be happier if they can hire a Lovie-type to coach the D.
The spin in this presser and days to follow should be just amazing. Wow. High risk selection - if they loved his scheme so much why not just go Belicheck get NFL coaching and incorporate parts of it assuming you have any players who can???
This seems another version of straw-grasping wide-9, fastballs, dont care about linebackers, we know better than teams who actually win in this league bullshtein.

Okay, two plays in preseason and then carted out with the hope of walking again some day.
Well at least this Gus Bradley thing now makes sense. Remember Belicheck screwed over the Jets before he left for the Pats too. I am hopeful that he can turn things around. I really hope Vick is gone and Howie falls down a manhole.

If I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you in person, I'd swear you were just a faux Internet persona.
This statement is laughable on so many levels. Are there people who actually take you seriously?
talked myself into it, why the hell not
either hes a godsend and things work out or he sucks, leaves in 1 or 2 years and they bottom out and get a top 3 pick and possibly get a franchise qb.
im feeling this overall is a win/win.

Shocking.
Hopefully it works. An igy meltdown during the PC will be an all-timer...when is the PC?
Haha...I've really learned to divest myself a lot of decisions this team makes....but this one is really pissing me off.
Hey so farg this right in the goat ass. Gimmicky college offense can suck my fat white nut.
What right-minded person could possibly think this is the best possible option? I mean, aside from the list of actual football reasons I hate it, he's a pretty zesty fit with the town unless he can find amazing ways to win constantly. I want to be wrong, but I feel pretty right.
i know that hating something 5 minutes after it happens is pretty rational. nice work everyone.
Safe to say, I'm generally not prone to overreaction or hyperbole. It could work out famously...but there's nothing about it that makes me think that the rosy picture is the slam dunk. This smacks of close your eyes, swing for the fences and hope for the best. If they'd gone with Gus, I wouldn't feel that way. Nothing about Chip makes me think "Whew, surefire upgrade over the Andy regime."
Actually, it feels a lot like more of the same with less experience. Because if there's one thing I want to go with my lowly thought of GM with questionable experience, it's a HC with no experience. Let's just figure all this stuff out as we go along, guys.
Also, welcome to the internet, SunMo.

hasnt really been five minutes tho...as a possibility chip kelly to eagles is at least two months old....now that hes actually coach instead of rumored to be we should change our opinion to something other than what we felt before he was eagles coach
its about the players, and will continue to be about the players.
49ers run a version of Kelly's offense with the zone read plays, and they are in the NFCCG two years in a row. Bill Bellicheck invited Kelly out to NE to pick his brain and get aspects of the offensive scheme implemented in the patriots offense.
I figure this move works out one of four ways.
1. Chip comes in, does well, quickly wins that elusive Super Bowl. Howie gets credit for bringing in the best players, becomes bigger douche.
2. Chip comes in, reaches mediocrity consistently for several seasons, switching defensive coordinators at least once. Howie isn't blamed because Chip got the players he wanted, becomes bigger douche.
3. Chip comes in, struggles to get the offense full of really good players working. Big name free agents don't sign here, Chip blamed for it. Chip eventually fired, Howie becomes bigger douche.
4. Chip comes in, gives no fargs, goes back to college next year. Howie not blamed for the hire, becomes bigger douche.
LOUD NOISES!
If they made him Offensive Coordinator, I'd have some reservations...but I'd be better than the Head Coach thing. He just seems like a zesty fit.
Also, even the spectre of having Vick for another year is nauseating.
On the plus side, there's now a chance that McCoy will get so many carries next year that even I'll get sick of seeing him.

If they were that impressed with Bradley, they wouldn't have let him leave town without a contract.
They shouldn't have.
Looks like the "smartest guys in the room" are, in fact, right here at :CF.
Time will tell. That said, on the surface of it, there are not a lot of compelling reasons to like the move. Do I think Kelly is a good fit? No. Does he have a track record of success in the the NFL? No. Do college coaches tend to succeed in situations like this? No. Do I trust the people making the decisions? No.
Nope. Not a great feeling right now. I hope they knock it out of the park, though.
if you dont have something nice to say about the eagles dont say anything at all

Like most have already said, it seems to me that this will turn out to be at best mediocre, at worst a disaster. Basically, they're replacing Andy Reid with... Andy Reid Lite.
We'll have to see how it turns out, but right now it's my stomach that's turning.
Yeah, it's not like I'm rooting for this to be a disaster (I don't see it really ending any other way though) but there is absolutely nothing about it that gives me a warm and fuzzy.
I definitely don't like how the whole thing went down and Chip Kelly looks like a flakey douche bag right now. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me like a lot of other coaches might have. SB by 2015 or gtfo.

Maybe from him, yes.
I'll admit I was all on board the Gus Bradley campaign train. "If" he turns Jacksonville around (assuming he gets that HC job) this will really sting. Sit back and watch time. Kelly starts drafting undersized DE's and LB's and talent challenged DB's, picks the wrong QB, doesn't recognize the fact he has one of the best running backs in the league we can start raising the white flag. Biggest concern now is QB. Not a whole lot out there.

I actually think this is a high ceiling, disastrous floor type move. I would be surprised if mediocrity resulted. Kelly, to me, will either be able to successfully transition and the team will be good in a year or two, or, it will be a disaster.

I can buy into that. There's really no middle ground here. It's either 12-4 or 4-12 but not much in between.
C'mon Sarge, you're feeling a couple 7-9's here. Admit it.
This team ain't doing shtein until it gets a QB.

only one college coach ever has jumped to the pros and been successful....jimmy johnson....so id say chip kellys ceiling is about as low as you can get...its about the culture shock that comes with coaching professional football...handling pro personalities....gaining respect....working with a front office...being able to run an nfl practice....managing an offseason program....big time media...ect....its completely overwhelming and and its something 99% of college coaches arent ready for
and thats before you know if the coaches system and philosophies will even work in the league

Bowles is the DC in Arizona.
Arians and Bowles...Owls West.
MDS last seen applying for jobs as Cards beat writer
Go get Ray Horton as the DC
QuoteMike Silver of Yahoo! Sports reports that Horton is out as the Arizona defensive coordinator. Per Silver, he'll be replaced by former Eagles defensive coordinator Todd Bowles on Bruce Arians' staff.
Bowles was elevated to the position in Philly after Juan Castillo was fired. The Eagles went 1-9 with Bowles in the job, with the Eagles giving up on average 31.9 points per game.
Numbers.
horton had a killer defense that kept his team in games even though his offense was the worst ever in the history of society
hes a black dude with braids
GET
Neither Horton or Bowles have received permission to talk to anyone yet, and Bowles is supposed to meet with Chip today.
eagles also offer horton revenge as they play arizona at the linc next year
they better get a DC and for that matter staff who has solid nfl experience because i cant see them getting getting an OC along those same lines since chippy is going to be the de facto OC...
they cant be assembling what is more or less a college coaching staff
Actually, they can. And despite its importance to you, there isn't shtein you can do about it.
they can if they want to lose a lot
Then you'll be able to say "I told you so" to all of us, and we can go back through all this coaching search fun yet again. Sounds like a win-farging-win to me.
theres no i told you so here....my position is the easy one....you guys will be able to say i told you so if hes successful because what hes trying to do just doesnt ever happen

as usual completely missing the point...no one said it couldnt happen its just very unlikely...meaning you are on the cutting edge here saying that hes going to be a good coach...if thats really what you were saying rather than matter who the eagles hire its a great get

I'll give it a chance. I'm excited about having a new coach and hopefully a completely new philosophy and energy. But my problem isn't that I don't think Kelly will work. If they interviewed him 2 weeks ago and he took the job right away, fine. I still wouldn't be overly excited about Kelly because I don't think he's the best choice (was never on the bandwagon in the first place), but whatever. The way the entire thing went down has completely turned me off on Kelly as a person more so than as a coach.
The Eagles interviewed him. He said he was staying in college. Then when the Eagles were on the verge or hiring someone else, Chip reinserts himself into the discussion and gets the job.
You know who does that? Snobby, self centered teenage girls. A boy shows an enormous amount of interest and asks her to the prom. She says no, she already has a date. Boy says, cool and is ready to ask someone else to go. Girl gets mad because she is being ignored and throws herself at him. He seems like a diva to me.

I think everyone feels exactly the same way, but personally, I've had 14 years of 'offensive genius smarter than everyone' coaching and I want a new identity for this team. A hard nosed, defense first, run the ball on offense team. Gus Bradley was available and on the verge of signing and represented exactly what I was looking for, at least in theory. So to have things play out this way is farging frustrating and I am perfectly happy taking my frustration out on a dude named Chip. Because he's almost definitely a douche. And a communist. And a child molester. You heard it here first.
no one is giving him or not giving him a chance....hes the coach no matter what and we all hope he succeeds...but that doesnt there cant be criticism of the hire
there was certainly no guarantee gus bradley was going to be a great coach...but he was a coin flip at least....taking a college coach who has never even sniffed the nfl and now has to now change his own system to fit pro football is putting yourself behind the eight ball for no reason imo
i agree with rjs...gimme a smashmouth defensive guy like gus where you have much less margin for error...then you let him hire a respected NFL ready OC to run the offense...
what you have now is a coach whos going to try and run an offense thats has been successful for about five minutes in the nfl and has howie dropping cream pies in his fruit of the looms...the wildcat was also all the rage a couple years ago...where is that now?...what happens when the read option is figured out by DC's (btw gus bradley has already figured it out) where will that leave chippy?
i hope to god im wrong but i see this flaming out in about three years and then the eagles having to start over again...at least with a gus even if he failed he still probably coaches out his deal and leaves the team in a better place than where its gonna be left if chippy bombs
another big concern is the coaching staff as a whole...two hires so far - two guys who have never coached in the nfl
long way to go but because chip is not an nfl guy...hes a loner college football junkie i worry whether he has the cache and influence to get any respected veteran nfl ready people to put on his staff...not saying it wont happen because people will do anything if you pay them enough but its a huge concern to me....the eagles right now feel like a college or nfl minor league team...is anyone confident that the staff they throw together is going to outcoach the staffs of a mike shanahan or tom coughlin?....get me a ray horton please
ok, everyone please stop with this gus shtein. none of us had ever heard of him 2 months ago, so this hero worship is just beyond silly.
you cant listen to gus for even 60 seconds without falling in love with him

Well, at least we have our priorities straight.
if you could pick one era to live thru again and you picked the reid era over the buddy era then you are a dope
It's partially because I'm so much younger than you, but color me a dope of the highest order, then.
well that i can understand....im saying if you lived thru them at an age you can properly appreciate then its a no brainer
First I want to say that the Buddy v Andy talk is really the one thing that keeps me coming back because I don't think it can ever really be discussed enough.
While the team was less successful, I'd absolutely love to relive Buddy's 4 years on an endless loop over any 4 year period under Reid. And that isn't just Buddy vs Reid, but Buddy's teams and players were by and large a more likable team than Reid's.
Might as well face it, the best we're gonna get is 4 years of Buddy quotes and the most punishing defense no one outside of the tri-state area remembers. Super Bowl is the impossible dream with this franchise.
The first year I was really excited for the Eagles season was (92/93?) when they were favored to win it all, then Randall went down early, and guys like Jeff Kemp and that Archer farg were under center after Jim McMahon also went down. Then Reggie left for Green Bay and yadda yadda.
1991. Don't forget Brad Goebel and Pat Ryan under center. That defense was off the charts. I'll start crying if I get into more detail. Team finished 10-6 and missed the playoffs. Jeff Kemp actually did not play that bad. He finished the famous "House of Pain" game in Houston that Monday night.
that was the year 3 NFC east teams finished double digit wins

Forget about the idea of Eagles QB Michael Vick following Marty Mornhinweg to Jets. Neither would be interested in the idea of reuniting.
DRAMA
Boston College ST coach Mike Dawson is expected to be named the defensive quality control coach. He worked with Chip at New Hampshire as both an OL coach and the DC/LB coach
Kentucky DC Rick Minter is also expected to join the staff. Before Kentucky, he was a DC for Notre Dame, South Carolina and Marshall and was the head coach at Cincinnati for 10 years
wow are the eagles entering a dark age
Are any of the coaches black?
Duce
Breer says the new DC will be someone already in the NFL, but it won't be Herrmann. He withdrew his name from consideration and will stay with the Giants
i love this team
That's it? One black guy? For real?
Booo
If the rumors are true about them coming from Oregon, there's also Todd Lyght and Greg Austin, and the James Harris guy that isn't a football coach but more of a guidance counselor
Ted Williams is black too
Following up, it looks like Minter will be the new OLB coach with McGovern handling ILB, so that pretty much confirms 3-4
They also hired Boston College ST coach Mike Dawson to be the new defensive quality control guy. He was New Hampshire's DC when Chip was their OC
Mosher says Ed Donatell is a possible candidate. He's on the Niners so it'd be another two weeks before they could hire him, and he was the Packers DC for 4th-and-26 and the Falcons DC for the Eagles CG win (but other than that his defenses seemed to do OK)

He had one last week where he said the head coach would be Gus or Whisenhunt

Eskin, citing two sources, says Donatell is likely to be the choice for DC.
worst fears realized
Eskin has been wrong a lot lately, but if no one is named until the Super Bowl, it's safe to assume that the new DC is coaching in it.

so joe philbin said the st coach was a great hire
no comment from the eagles
He worked with Ted Ginn Jr, Andy Lee and Michael Robinson in San Fran, then went to Miami and their STs went from 24th to top 5, so there's that
That's something to look forward to this upcoming season. I'm tired of cringing during special teams play. I hope he can de-vaginize this team and put some balls into it.

Talk to John Harbaugh.
his special teams were good because of the roster not the coach...if harbaugh is the eagles special teams coach last year they still suck and he gets fired
in fact the eagles special teams fell off the map when the roster started losing all the high character great hustle guys that were there for the beginning of andys tenure started going away and being replaced by crap...to the point that i think they were actually last in the league in ST in harbaughs final year in philly
IGY, I'm going to need more than mere 'facts' in order to believe you.
"Meaningless" is obviously a hyperbolic way of saying that they aren't overly important. Which is true, but it's on the GM to make sure there are enough players that are good at it. Very different skill than defense or offense.

not the guy who just coached the worst defense in the history of football...or ed donnatell
if its either or then give me juanny back for all i care
He also coached the defense that beat the 18-0 Patriots in the Super Bowl.
It's all about players, Lumpy.
and boy would he have them in philly
Not yet, obviously. That's where the rest of us have to cross our fingers and hope that little dickface shyster figured out how to find actual football players along the way.
so wait....if you dont have good players you shouldnt hire good coaches?
he did a fine job during that giants run in 2008...though really you could argue that it wasnt rocket science to rush 4 guys who could get pressure on the qb and keep 7 back in coverage. and by god, he has 4 guys who could get to brady on their own.
after that he was an absolute disaster with the rams and just coached the worst defense ever
is he a better choice than ed donnatell? sure. if thats enough then OK
i wouldnt judge him under the rams or the saints...the rams are the rams and maybe he just isnt HC material...and the saints last year were doomed from the start plus have zero talent on d
but he cut his teeth under jj
knows the city inside and out
and won a superbowl with the giants
not only is he a excellent defensive coach but hed be a great right hand man to chippy
i think he would be a very good hire in any year....but hes a absolute no brainer this year
I've come around on Donatell a bit. He did a good job with the Niners secondary. Tampa wanted him last season but the Niners denied them permission. We think of him and we think 4th and 26 but that was a decade ago.
Spags I'm luke warm on. I hate to actually agree with Todd here but that D benefited from one of the greatest pass rushes in league history. It's easy to coach a D when your front 4 can collapse the pocket every play. Sure Spags gets credit for that season but he sucked with the Rams and last years Saints team was all time bad. Think about how bad the Eagles D was and they were worse and he was leading the charge.
Spags is the guy who should be hired. Don't listen to mds
mds, like the rest of you, doesnt know who the farg should be hired
besides promoting the offensive line coach to dc whatever move they make will be dependent on the talent they assemble. as of now they have no talent.

what great d doesnt have great players
spags gets downgraded for being the DC of a great defense but donatell gets credit for being the secondary coach of a great defense??
to me donatell is a secondary coach at this point or a DC in college...hes a bleh guy who goes here for a couple years then there for a couple years....spags is an NFL DC who i could see making a home in philly if chippy was somehow successful....also would be nice to bookend chippy with another guy who has tons of philly experience
either way im glad they are getting a guy with a ton of nfl experience and not some newby college type
Spags gets downgraded for not doing dick since 2007...the last time he had success as a coach was when Bush was in office. You can't chalk it up to bad luck as a DC or bountygate. Donatell has consistently been a good coach. That's the difference. I'd be fine with either hire but I think Donatell ultimately gets the gig.

This logic is pretty spot-on, except that Spagnuolo has coached in Philly before, worked with Shurmer before, etc etc.
I keep reading that there's a good chance the Eagles will move to a 3-4. Because if there's one thing that the Eagles have an abundance of, it's quality linebackers. All semi-kidding aside, I hope they don't go that route. Which, of course, makes it a virtual certainty...because that's the way this offseason has gone.

Recent history suggests that if you decide to go with the 3-4, there will be a season or two where you find out if guys can play it or not. The taterskins are a great example. The Eagles backers, I don't think, are any more ill-suited to the 3-4 than to the 4-3. I would say the 3-4 actually makes more sense with what they have - Ryans and Kendricks in the inside, and you can put Cole and Graham on the outside. They'd probably be serviceable until you add true 3-4 backers through the draft/FA. Where as in the 4-3, you have Kendricks, Ryans, and.........?
Meh. I miss Jim Johnson and players that could, you know, play.
I'm not big on the 3-4 in general but if they want to put it in, now's the time to do it. Doesn't matter if they have 4 LBs to play it or not. They really only have like... 2 or 3 players that can even play their position in the 4-3. That's not worth saving.
Also, if it really does happen, Cole and Graham routinely playing in space = lololol

donatell has never been respected enough to even get a college head coaching gig much less a pro head coach so unfortunately we wont be able to compare their resumes there...hes been a nomad for 20 years going from team to team never really accomplishing a ton...i think the eagles job would just be another in a long line of jobs for him in other words a promotion/more money....whereas spags would be all IN
also spags year in new orleans should count about as much as donatells 0-11 year at udub...again spags gets ripped for a pro job but donatell was just wonderful going winless in college....ill take spags' ring over anything donatell has ever done...theres positives and negatives to each but i think spags positives definitely win here

i dont really care whether its a 3-4 or 4-3 but everything weve heard says donatell is the man and hes never run a 3-4...he has coached under it for a few years but if you were going to do a complete overhaul to a 3-4 youd think youd hire a 3-4 guy...likewise for spags...he should not be under consideration if they are indeed going to a 3-4

If that's the case, then please god, whatever you do, clear your mind and don't think of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Billy Davis interviews for Eagles defensive coordinator
Posted by Josh Alper on January 28, 2013, 11:21 AM EST
We shared earlier that the Eagles' search for a defensive coordinator included a couple of coaches who have a pretty big game coming up on Sunday, but they aren't limiting their search to members of the Ravens and 49ers coaching staffs.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Browns linebacker coach Billy Davis interviewed for the job on Sunday. Davis has been with the Browns for the last two seasons, but isn't currently listed on the team's website as a member of the coaching staff. That would suggest that he won't be working with new Browns coordinator Ray Horton even if he doesn't get the job in Philly.
Davis has had two stints as a defensive coordinator. He held the job for the 49ers in 2005 and 2006 and then ran the Cardinals defense in 2009 and 2010. Only the 2009 Cardinals team was even in the middle of the pack defensively, which explains why Davis moved back down to being a position coach after getting replaced by Horton in Arizona.
Pat Shurmur, Davis' former boss in Cleveland, is set to be the offensive coordinator for the Eagles. Whether or not that helps his cause remains to be seen since the Eagles still seem to have more people to meet before they pull the trigger on a new coordinator.
They're definitely switching to a 3-4.
I'm fine with him as a position coach. He made Gocong look good.
lol @ Gocong. The sooner I can wipe names like that from my memory, the better I'll be.
Danny Watkins, Te'o Neshim and Jaiquawn Jarrett said hi.
eagles want to dagger banner so bad
Dick Jauron was fired.
I'd move him up the list pretty high

QuoteBill Lazor is leaving his job as Virginia's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach to join Chip Kelly's staff with the Philadelphia Eagles, a source told CBS Tuesday morning.
The 40-year-old Scranton, PA native has extensive NFL coaching experience having been the QB coach for the Seattle Seahawks and Washington taterskins, prior to coming to UVA in 2010. He also worked as an assistant for the Atlanta Falcons. During his seven seasons in the NFL, Lazor coached under Jim Mora, Mike Holmgren, Joe Gibbs and Dan Reeves.
Lazor, a former Cornell quarterback, spent three seasons at UVA, where he inherited a team that had finished last in the ACC in total offense the year before he arrived. In his first season with the Cavaliers, Virginia improved to third in offense in the conference. The team also improved from No. 105 in passing to No. 25. In 2011, they were fourth in the ACC in total offense and No. 56 in the country in passing. Last season, 4-8 UVA fell to eighth in the league in offense and No. 37 in passing while juggling quarterbacks between Mike Rocco and Alabama transfer Phillip Sims.
Any word on what his role will be? QB coach? Def does't seem like a guy I'd want calling plays.
know a lot about virginia's offensive production do you?
I do and the answer is please kill me.

looks like he will be qb coach and direct assistant to shurmer...sounds like almost a co offensive coordinator...but he wont be calling plays...of course all of this is pure speculation because farging no one on the eagles will confirm anything with any of these assistants....so farging annoying
yeah for some reason they want to announce the entire staff at once, so while no one is officially a part of the staff they were all at the senior bowl in eagles stuff
dumb
rob ryan was not hired by rams after all which means he should be heavily looked at for this 3-4 d.
or not looked at at all
ill take legit def play calling experience over this mickey mouse shtein thats going on with all these college coaches, LB coaches, d-line coaches, etc.
no reason to go into the season with a rookie head coach and a rookie def coordinator...matter of fact it would be a disaster
i agree the staff is a joke but clearly what they are doing is getting small time coaches who have no cache pull no weight and will follow chippy in lock step while posing no threat to his leadership...id be shocked if they considered rob ryan who is a loud ego filled douche...they want a tight ship after the debacle of the last couple of years...and that was with a respected veteran head coach
now they have a guy whose never spent a minute in the nfl?...rob ryan seems to be the antithesis of what they have done so far

Caplan thinks the Eagles are waiting for the college signing period to end before they announce either Grantham or Smart
Grantham interviewing with NO on Thursday although reports coming out that the Saints have hired Rob Ryan
FootballScoop:
QuoteSources tell us the Tulsa quarterbacks coach (grad asst) Press Taylor has accepted the offensive quality control job with the Eagles.
AJC this morning:
QuoteTodd Grantham is not going anywhere and Davin Bellamy very likely will sign with the Georgia Bulldogs later this morning.
That was the word from Bridgett Bellamy Wednesday morning. She is Davin Bellamy's mother and she sprang into action last night when reports circulated that Grantham, Georgia's defensive coordinator and Bellamy's would-be position coach, was going to interview for the New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator position on Thursday.
"We got to the bottom of it," Mrs. Bellamy said over the phone from the hallways of Chamblee High, where Davin is scheduled to make his announcement at 11 a.m. "We spoke with Grantham, we spoke with (Bryan) McClendon, we've spoken with Mark Richt. There is no truth to that and it will not affect Davin's decision today."
.
.
"Coach Grantham talked to Davin and assured him that he had nothing to worry about and that he was staying at Georgia and he would be Davin's position coach," Mrs. Bellamy said. "He's been recruiting him now for several months and Davin has his word that he will be there when Davin starts at Georgia in the fall. I was glad to hear that."
...then this update an hour ago:
Quote"Will you still be with us two or three years from now," a fan asked Grantham.
"You know what? I can tell you this, that my family loves it here; I like it here a lot; and this is a very special place and I think today needs to be focused on the players we've got here right now and trying to get back to Atlanta," Grantham said.
Of course, that is effectively saying nothing.
i dont think he was a serious candidate anyway for the birds but the 49ers refused the saints request to interview donatell for their DC position
Worst fears realised
yeah they are a complete farce right now
So, instead of Gus Bradley as the head coach and leading the defense, they have Chip Kelly and the farging Browns' LB coach?
This is going to be hilariously bad.

So Grantham turns them down last minute, and they go with this clown. Awesome
to be fair genius chippy and his system are going to be putting up 40 a game so do they really need to invest in their defense
I am so excited.
I really hope Lurie sells the team
I'll take some of those turnovers from 2010, that would be a nice change. They'll probably still be hot garbage everywhere else, but hey highlights. For those highlights shows I don't watch.

like i said i have no opinion on anything related to the eagles. im a 5/10. i have no clue how chip is gonna do. no one does.
Quote from: SD on February 07, 2013, 02:10:59 PMBest possible result IMO: Clowney IN Howie OUT
im more than OK with this. in fact if this is chippers plan he deserves a parade
Besides Warmack/Jones/Fluker, Stoutland also coached three draft picks at Miami (Brandon Washington, Orlando Franklin, Jason Fox), he was the OL coach at Michigan State when Duckett was there, and he was the TE coach at Syracuse for Dancin Donny's last two years. No NFL experience though

pedigree (this staff has none)
history (college coaches with no pro experience FAIL in the nfl)
buzz (this staff has negative amounts)
pro success (none of them have it)
opinions need not apply....we stand behind our middling 50/50 prediction on all items of interest until 2015
youre right, its the worst staff ever assembled and the eagles will suck from here until your first triple bypass surgery?
Damn, I hope he needs a triple bypass surgery soon.

yeah well at least no worry about cold and snow ruining an Eagles SB.
I would literally trade my meatcycle for the Eagles to win the SB @ Giants Stadium.
It's possible I'd agree to bite it off if the Eagles could win the Super Bowl there. I drive by that non-descript building everytime I got to the office.
No promises, but I'd consider it.
Oh, while I don't KNOW that this coaching staff sucks; I do know that the FO has been looking like clowns during the entire process and haven't made one decision that logic would dictate. I hate that. Can't be all that attractive for quality free agents with options, particularly on D.
Let's forget for a moment that Davis is an awful coach. They're going to run a 3-4.
They have one player who fits into that scheme, and that's Kendricks.
Cox/Cole/Graham [unless they convert him to OLB which I don't see happening]/Ryans don't fit into a 3-4 scheme. They're undersized and in Ryans case lets not forget that the primary reason - according to the Texans - they got rid of Ryans in the first place was because he didn't fit in the 3-4. And the secondary is a disaster regardless of what scheme they run so I'll leave that alone for now.
I kid you not this D will give last years Saints a run for their money as far as worst D goes. Not even Jarvis Jones could save this disaster.
So what you're saying is we're going to see the offense way more often.
Cole and Graham were hybrid DE/LBs in college, and Cox can play DE in a 3-4. Do I think Cole or Graham could play OLB at this level? Dunno. If Star falls to #4, he's good enough to play either NT or DE, use another draft pick for the remaining spot on the DL, and that leaves you with the second ILB spot to fill...
Are we still going with the idea that Cole's a good player?

Go Eagles!
They need 8 out of 11 new starters and you guys are shteinting your drawers over who's going to coach them.
Whoever he is, his ass better be fired by week six.
trent cole rushing the qb standing up at 270lbs and at 31 yrs old is...how do i say this....horrendous.
hes going to have to be a situational player when they are not in the traditional 3-4, released (6.4 mill cap hit) or be traded--which due to his down year and age wont be much in return

News flash: the defense was farging terrible this year. Kendricks is good for ILB, Cox is a good fit for DE. Last I checked, those were basically the only dudes worth a damn on the defense anyways.
"Oh farg, zesty ass Trent Cole isn't a good fit for a new position. Oh shtein, over-the-hill 4-3 DT Cullen Jenkins can't play NT. THEY DONT HAVE THE PERSONNEL FOR THIS CHANGE!!"
one thing that is blatantly missing from their roster for the 3-4 is a NT....wouldnt surprise at all if they took la lay at 4

Don't sleep on Antonio Dixon. When they asked the dude to eat space he did a good job. He got dumped because he couldn't rush the passer and completely ignore the run like Washburn wanted. There is a lot of book out there for how teams transition to the 3-4, again, check the skins the last few years. The first year is 100% transition and you'll have fill ins and shtein, but it starts to bear fruit in year two. And lol at not having the personnel to run a 3-4 when they don't have the personnel to run the 4-3. The entire defense save two guys are entirely replaceable.
while not their worst acquisition antonio dixon encapsulates all the bad things about the eagles over the last 6-7 years....the classic undrafted free agent who they try to make into an nfl starter to show their PP genius...im so effin tired of people like antonio dixon...dooks been cut three times by three different teams in the last four years...
it would be classic for them to bypass a la lay and go with an antonio dixon so im not saying it wont happen but jesus if you are going to a 3-4 and theres a potentially dominant NT that you can plug right in and go to war with then do just do it...farg antonio dixon and the like
I love overreactions.
While I'm not enthused about the Davis hiring how about letting it play out? Rip his previous defenses but the biggest first step is he's not a goddamn offensive line coach masquerading as a defensive coordinator.
Yes they don't have the personnel to run a 3-4 but they have this offseason and next to re-tool the D. Because according to the genius football minds floating around here they're not winning shtein this year anyways right? Let them build the roster.
Everyone wanted Andy Reid gone. He gone. Yank your maxipads off and see how this all pans out.

Maybe he should give offensive line coaching a try? His track record with defense doesn't seem to be very good.

We should start a petition to have fans coach the defense. A different one each week.

I can't overstate how boring and predictable this forum has become.
Time for a break.
i think they should get zesty retreads from cleveland (because thats where everyone goes for great coaches) to try and one up their former team president
I'll take week 5.
I'll have the defense double-penetrate the B gap, and the rest of the guys can play man-on-man. We'll blitz their asses if we have to. I'll have the backer's coming all day.

James Harrison may be cut by PIT.

If there's one trend that's been pretty steady over the past few seasons it's that Eagles fans are right more than they are wrong. We knew Teo was a bad pick, the 2011 draft was an abomination, Juan Castillo as the DC was an awful choice etc.
Hell...nobody wanted Donatell and I was openly lobbying for him. At least Donatell had some success at the NFL level. Ray Horton took over the Cards D with essentially the same personel Davis had and the difference was night and day.

i hope to god im wrong and this all pans out wonderfully...ill be the first one here to say i was off...but nothing they have done this far gives me any hope for the future or leads me to believe they are going to have big time success under this PP or coaching regime...and theres nothing wrong with thinking that...you dont always have to give them the benefit of the doubt

hey now, lets not get crazy.
hes certainly behind the eight ball down there but id take my chances with caldwell/gus way before howie/chipper
The DB coach is going to be John Lovett, who followed Tuberville from Texas Tech to Cincinnati. He's coached for over 35 years but tends to jump from place to place after 2-4 years.
That should be the last of the coaches, so here's an unofficial list:
Offense
OC = Pat Shurmur (Browns HC)
QB coach = Bill Lazor (Virginia OC)
RB coach = Duce Staley (Eagles ST QC coach)
WR coach = Bob Bicknell (Bills WR coach)
TE coach = Ted Williams (Eagles RB coach), Justin Peelle (ex-Oregon/Steelers TE)
OL coach = Jeff Stoutland (Alabama OL coach), Greg Austin (Oregon grad asst.)
QC coach = Press Taylor (Tulsa QB coach)
Defense
DC = Billy Davis (Browns LB coach)
DL coach = Jerry Azzinaro (Oregon DL coach), Erik Chinander (Oregon grad asst.)
ILB coach = Rick Minter (Kentucky DC)
OLB coach = Bill McGovern (Boston College LB coach)
DB coach = John Lovett (Texas Tech/Cincinnati DB coach), Todd Lyght (Oregon defensive intern)
QC coach = Mike Dawson (Boston College ST coordinator)
Special Teams
ST coordinator = Dave Fipp (Dolphins asst. ST coordinator)
QC coach = Matthew Harper (Oregon grad asst.)
Is that the Todd Lyght who played corner for the Rams? Think he can still play?
just got my first eagles.com email since the coaching search began that says they have finalized their coaching staff
email from Eagles...
NOVACARE COMPLEX – The Philadelphia Eagles have finalized their coaching staff by hiring a team of coaches with diverse experience at both the collegiate and professional level.
Pat Shurmur will return to Philadelphia as the team's offensive coordinator after serving as head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 2011-12 and as offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams from 2009-10. Shurmur originally spent 10 seasons as the Eagles tight ends coach (1999-01) and quarterbacks coach (2002-08).
During his seven seasons as the Eagles quarterbacks coach, Shurmur helped guide Donovan McNabb to three Pro Bowl berths and saw him break nearly every franchise passing record. While in St. Louis, Shurmur oversaw an offense that featured Sam Bradford, who set NFL rookie records in attempts and completions, and Steven Jackson, who was voted to the Pro Bowl in each of his two seasons as coordinator.
The defense will be coordinated by Bill Davis, who has 21 years of NFL coaching experience after most recently serving as the Cleveland Browns linebackers coach from 2011-12. Davis has also held two defensive coordinator jobs, first with the San Francisco 49ers from 2005-06 and with the Arizona Cardinals from 2009-10. Davis has worked with many highly-regarded defensive coaches during his career, including Dick LeBeau, Wade Phillips, Dom Capers, Vic Fangio, Mike Nolan and Marvin Lewis.
Under Davis' tutelage, D'Qwell Jackson blossomed into one of the NFL's most productive linebackers over the last two seasons, registering 277 tackles, seven sacks and three interceptions. He has also helped guide seven players to the Pro Bowl: Adrian Wilson (2008-10), Darnell Dockett (2010), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (2009), Walt Harris (2006), Keith Brooking (2001-02), Kevin Greene (1996) and Lamar Lathon (1996).
Dave Fipp was named the team's special teams coordinator. Fipp, 38, is coming off of successful stints as an assistant special teams coach for the Miami Dolphins (2011-12) and the San Francisco 49ers (2008-10). During his time in Miami, the Dolphins ranked 2nd (2011) and 4th (2012) in the NFL in overall special teams rankings according to data compiled by esteemed Dallas Morning News columnist Rick Gosselin. Fipp will be assisted by Matt Harper, who was an intern and a graduate assistant at Oregon for the last four seasons.
The Eagles also hired a number of position coaches and assistants. On the offensive side of the ball, former running backs coach Ted Williams will continue to be the Eagles longest-tenured assistant, as he will now coach the team's tight ends after spending 16 seasons working with the running backs. Duce Staley, who was the special teams quality control coach since 2011, was named the new running backs coach. Staley ranks fourth on the Eagles all-time rushing list with 4,807 yards.
The rest of the offensive staff is as follows: Bill Lazor (quarterbacks), Bob Bicknell (wide receivers), Jeff Stoutland (offensive line), Justin Peelle (assistant tight ends), Greg Austin (assistant offensive line) and Press Taylor (offensive quality control).
Lazor joins the Eagles following three years as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UVA. He also has NFL experience, most recently as a quarterbacks coach for the Seattle Seahawks (2008-09). Bicknell is coming off of a three-year stint with the Buffalo Bills as their wide receivers and tight ends coach. Stoutland had been Alabama's offensive line coach for the last two seasons following four years in the same role with Miami (FL). He was also the team's interim head coach in 2010. Peelle is making his coaching debut after a 10-year NFL career as a tight end, most recently with the 49ers in 2011. Austin worked under Chip Kelly as a graduate assistant and intern over the last three seasons.
The Eagles also hired seven position coaches on the defensive side of the ball. Jerry Azzinaro will be the team's defensive line/assistant head coach. He served in the same role on Kelly's staff at Oregon from 2009-12 and has extensive experience at the college level. Bill McGovern (outside LBs) and Rick Minter (inside LBs) will coach the team's linebackers. McGovern is coming off of a 12-year stint as the linebackers coach/defensive coordinator at Boston College and Minter has more than three decades of coaching experience in the collegiate ranks. He was the defensive coordinator at Kentucky for the last two seasons. John Lovett will be in charge of the Eagles secondary after a one-year stint as the defensive backs coach at Texas Tech. He also has more than 30 years of coaching experience, including defensive coordinator positions at the college level with Miami (2009-10), Clemson (2002-04), Auburn (1999-01), Maine (1994) and Cincinnati (1989-92).
Todd Lyght (assistant defensive backs), Erik Chinander (assistant defensive line) and Mike Dawson (defensive quality control) were also added to the staff. Lyght is a former first-round draft pick and a Pro Bowl safety who spent the last two seasons as a defensive intern at Oregon. Chinander was a graduate assistant at Oregon during that same time. Dawson was a special teams coach at Boston College from 2009-11.
The team also hired Josh Hingst (strength and conditioning) and Shaun Huls (sports science coordinator).
well that looks like hell
haha
Bill Lazor is the best name for a QB coach ever, and I hope he has a copstache.
howie: "billy...great news... we've put together a team of very experienced college coaches for you to work with."
davis: "oh...umm...ok thats great. so your saying there's no way i can bring anybody i know on from the nfl on board with me?"
howie: "yes thats exactly what im saying....trust me i know what im doing here."
chipper got his oregon grad assistants and interns
thats all that matters
Really hate this offseason. It was time to move on from Andy...but that didn't mean they had to set things up to suck for years.
And you were expecting?

All is well.
The coaching angel needs to touch some of you fools
Supposedly the guy they got for strength and conditioning has no NFL experience, but he is a former SEAL and had a hand in creating their training regimen, etc. Training camp is going to be a show.
QuoteNew Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly at last has unveiled his full coaching staff, and it includes one coach with an interesting title.
Shaun Huls will serve as the Eagles' "Sports Science Coordinator" – a job separate from strength and conditioning. Huls, according to the Eagles, previously was the strength, conditioning and "combatives" coordinator for Navy Special Warfare.
In other words, Huls joins the Eagles after training Navy SEALs.
That should bring instant credibility when Kelly, new strength coach Josh Hingst and Huls start working with Eagles players during the voluntary offseason program that begins in April.
QuoteKelly has previous experience with Navy SEAL training. In 2011, he put his Oregon team through a program called "Judgment Day" led by a former SEALs trainer
This training will pay off big time if Al Queda ever puts a football team together.
