BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
amazing job by Jeffrey and Howie
And by amazing I mean farged up
Totally bland hire. He's not even intriguing because he's such an unknown. But he's not Chip Kelly, so I'm not going to hate on him until he actually gives me reason to.
Go Doug!!
how bad is the staff going to be under this cat...he has no experience and thus no ties to anyone or cache with anyone...so who fills out the all important coordinator positions and on down
F. U. Jeff.

shtein on it and mail it back c/o Howie Roseman
anyone else feel like this was done today because all the other openings were going coughlin dissed them and chip gets hired
its like they had to do something PR wise and they did the only thing they could at this point
shurmur the oc
fajita, or whatever his name is, the dc
im sure bradford is dying to join this trainwreck
They called Uncle Tom and said we're going with someone who didn't serve in WWII. Done.
They don't give a shtein where Kelly ends up as long as it isn't Philly. Done.
Good luck to this farging guy. I hope he finally wins us a Super Bowl and anyone who doesn't feel the same way can light themselves on fire.
Personality wise Pederson just doesn't come off like a leader of men. Honestly I would have preferred Shurmer. They're both awful hires either way.

It was going to be obvious when they sat around doing nothing until Kansas City loses. Imagine the conversations with Shurmur... "yeah Pat, we'll get back to you on the job, we're still working hard going through all the applications here."

At least we'll have Christ on our side... >:D
"Pederson, 47, has served most recently as offensive coordinator during Reid's three seasons as head coach of the Chiefs.
Before that, he was Reid's quarterbacks coach with the Eagles for two years after starting his NFL coaching career in 2009 as an offensive quality control coach under Reid.
Pederson's only other coaching job was head coach at Calvary Baptist Academy, a high school in Shreveport, La., from 2005 through 2008."
I can't wait to see how many morons start slamming him simply because he wasn't a very good NFL qb and was horrendous for the Eagles for like 9 games.
Not saying he's the next hoodie, but a lot of fans are probably still really jaded from his playing days for some stupid reason.

Exactly. With Chip, without Chip, with goo goo eyes, without goo goo eyes, it's the same shtein.
My positive spin:
It's not like the Eagles were going to contend next season anyway. Yes, even in the NFC East. So, if this hire bombs, we weren't really missing out on anything and will get a good draft pick out of it and maybe a franchise QB.
Oh, and if really turns out bad, Lurie will save his own ass and sacrifice Roseman.
I honestly think this organization was headed for a few bad years anyway, I mentioned that in a previous topic. So, either he shocks the world and works out, and everyone is happy, or he's awful and it breeds the change everyone has been waiting for.
I hope :-D
I hope that years from now someone will mine this quote and make fun of me because of how successful the hire was, but right now I'm not sure I've ever been more embarrassed as an Eagles fan. They hired a guy with no experience who doesn't even call the plays, on a team with an offense that isn't even good.
This hire is some amateur hour shtein. Was he even a good high school coach? At least he seems like a nice guy.
I'm friends with some Chiefs fans and they aren't concerned in the slightest about him leaving.

People said the same thing about Joe Banner, Andy Reid, etc. At the end of the day, Jeff Lurie is a businessman and if an entity in your business is eating away at your growth, then they will cut away from it eventually. They always do, they always will. At the end of the day, they will always sacrifice another to save themselves. Unless you're the Bengals I guess.

Banner and Lurie go back before their nuts drop, and Lurie sent him packing. He won't hesitate to pull the plug on Howie.
Like I've been saying, the next 2 years are Howie's chance to prove himself. I guess he could be gone after 1 season, but it would have to be a pretty epic disaster....like all 2016 draft picks getting Marcus Smith type playing time and the team winning 1 game.
Nice visual, jackass.
:puke
Oh and the one redeeming thing about this pick (other than it making all of you miserable) is the fact that Phreak hates it, and considering he always loves everything these incompetent morons do, that has to give you a smidgen of hope, right?
What's probably the most frustrating with this is that other than Gase, the Eagles didn't interview any of the top candidates.
McDermott
Jackson
McDaniels
Regardless of what you think about any of them, they were/are 3 of the top candidates. Didn't talk to a single one of them. And why make him the offer right now? No one else is banging on his door, so it's not like you've got to worry about another team stealing him. Why not see how the Pats and Cats do this weekend?
Whatevs. Lurie misses Andy, wants to recapture that so close to a Super Bowl but not quite there magic I guess.

I was fine with Duce being coach so I am fine with this. I hated Andy when we hired him too.
Also hated him the last 5 years also but whatever.
I also hate him. Also I thought Pederson was black, but I was thinking of Rodney Peete which also makes me hate Pederson more. We should hire Peete so they also show Holly Robinson which would make me binge watch 21 Jump Street to see more of her fine ass.

One thing you can say about Pederson... at least he's not morbidly obese like the last two HC's they've had.
So, now that everyone's had a chance to sleep on this ... We all on board ? Well ?
Go team ?
I'm not totally down on the move, but I'm not totally hating it, either. I'll take the wait and see approach, hoping that all the pieces fall in place to build something greater than the sum of the parts.
That's what I'm trying to do as well but the cynical philly fan in me keeps screaming otherwise.
I say it's an awful hire and would have just gone with Shurmer who's equally awful, but I'll give Pederson a chance before I rip him. My big problem is he just doesn't come off as a leader of men. I think he's the polar opposite of Chip where he relates to players, and that's fine for an assistant coach, but head coaches need to know how to lead.
he'll come out and wow everyone during his intro press conference...then all the "leader of men" rhetoric will go away.
I do suspect that one big reason that he was hired was that he will just shut up and take whatever Howie gives him.

But I hope he does better than that.
Ok, legit lol there.
for the people like sus and romey and whoever else that say they are going to wait and see.....we ALL are going to wait and see as we have no other choice...your opinion on this or any move they make has nothing to do with waiting and seeing what happens...they are not mutually exclusive things
this move can and does farging blow and ill wait and see what happens
Couple of thoughts:
1. BOOOOOOOO
2. This is obviously Howie's team to put together now and a trial run for a nobody coach. Ownership seems to be acknowledging that no one wants to coach for them right now and they maybe feel like they made a mistake in removing Howie's PP responsibilities, so they're swallowing a season or two to rebuild and go for real coach in a few years. I mean, it's going to suck donkey balls for a few years but in Hinkie we trust.
You don't know if it does or doesn't suck. No one does. That's the point. You're prejudging based on your own bias. You do that a lot, IGY. You're certainly entitled to think that way but I'd rather wait and see and give this guy a chance.
Superfan lecture in 3...2...1
wait im confused....so you cant have an opinion on anything a sports team does?

trade for a player....zip it we dont want to judge this thing for a few years...
hire a college coach with no nfl expereince...nope shut it down....lets see it run its course before we speak anything on it
since ive never heard of this rule does it only apply to negative opinions or are you allowed to say that a team made a good move
like if they had gotten gase would i have been allowed to say this is a good thing?

There ya go. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but I think that all of the speculation, complaining, and hand wringing right now is premature. I just don't know enough about the guy - and his coaching style - at this point. Nor do I have a view of the bigger picture from Lurie's standpoint. I want to see how all the pieces fall into place before I get too excited about it all.
But hey...I'm sure that either way, some bipolar types will eventually have their happy ITYS moment.
being the homer he is, I have to think jay has a Pederson jersey stashed in his closet that he wore for the first game in the reid era.
Sometimes you can hire a blatantly unqualified person to do a job, and be pleasantly surprised when it turns out that they are a natural for that kind of work, and a great fit for your organization.
Sometimes you can hire an eminently qualified person to do a job and they can fail at it badly and have personality clashes with everyone.
That being said, before their first day on the job, do you feel better about the qualified hire or the unqualified one?
What has me down on the hire is the fact that Pederson was like #4 on their depth chart of canidates and having to settle as result of a quagmire front office.
i'd like to see that list. can you forward to me please?

Totally agree. Any of those 3 would have been better options than Pedophile. You just know CK is going to SF and is going to rip off a great run with Kapernick. I would have rather kept CK for another year than this guy.

That's the first positive news about Pederson.
I'm so excited for the Pederson era
Back to lousy clock management and no urgency
I want Pederson's first decision to be to pull hard for them to keep Riley Cooper because the team lacks veteran leadership.
I guess the good thing about the Chiefs losing is that Pederson can get to work sooner. I'm not excited about this. I'm not even optimistic about it. But he's the guy and I have no reason to hate on him.
On the plus side though, he does have NFL experience as a player and coach. Any holdovers from Reid should at least be familiar with him. 90% chance this doesn't end well, but farg it....I'm rooting for the other 10.
90% of this rests on apathetic owner and pencil dick GM, 10% on Pederson.
Meh, I wouldn't have been excited about any of them. Pederson may as well be the schlep that does the job. They're going to suck for the next several years anyway.
The more I think about it, the more I really feel bad for the guy. It would be tough enough for him to win if he was hired by a rock solid organization with a competent GM and a quality roster. This guy gets Howie and his #1 QB is currently Mark Sanchez.
Farg the gold standard. This is more like the golden shower standard. Just pissing all over the city.
for god sakes we need to let this play out
I'd like to hear more about you all and your schlubbiness.
Check your PM's... pix!
I feel bad for Pederson too. If the Eagles trail by 2 TDs against a good opponent in their first home game he's going to get booed out of the stadium. People already hate the guy, they are going to be foaming at the mouth to trash him for anything and everything that goes wrong with the Eagles.

You make the call.
And they're shielding mds' boy Howie...no show at the presser tomorrow
This is the face of a man they make Lifetime Original movies about.
Watching the Chiefs slowly make their way down the field Saturday was both jarring in a flashback to Andy and a glimpse into the future.
I think Pederson, having been a QB, would have more aggessive tendencies or deeply rooted philosophies about an offense than an Offensive lineman who is used to grinding things out as opposed to throwing a deep pass*
*I know more than IGY about football.
I'm not buying into the notion that Pederson picked up all of Andy's bad habits, and I'm not throwing too much blame about their lack of urgency on him either. Just like when Childress was here, he got none of the credit when the O played well and none of the blame when they farged up. Everyone knew that the offense was Andy's baby. Nothing changed in KC.

Their OC is also going to be a former QB whose offense in San Diego was QB oriented.... to the tune of being very close to the top of the rankings in passing and very close to the bottom of the rankings in rushing. Of course they have Rivers, Allen, and Gates, and the Eagles don't. It's also widely assumed that McCoy was micromanaging that offense. So neither the HC nor the OC have much of a track record they can be graded on.

pass first offenses still employ an offensive line
just because you played line has nothing to do with how you want to run your offense
andy was a quarterbacks coach before he was a head coach and he coached the ultimate gunslinger
by far the biggest criticism of andy while eagles coach was passing the ball too much and at the wrong times...."grinding things out' was basically a foreign concept to him
Eric Berry as a FA?!
Miami hired Washburn as a senior defensive assistant for DL, so we don't have to worry about him coming back
But his scheme refuses to die.

Exactly. His overall play calling didn't drastically favor the pass...I think 60/40 was the worst he had in a season....but he usually hovered around 55/45 in favor of the pass, which is fairly well balanced. His problem was thinking that he's smarter than the guy on the opposite sideline and that throwing the ball in an obvious run situation (Thomas Tapeh in the flat) was going to catch the defense off guard. That might actually work if you tried it 1 out of 10 times, but Andy tried it like 9 out of 10 times. So much that when he did call a run play in those situatioms, he actually was catching the defense off guard.
he also would throw it 60+% of the time with leads
also for the first half of the bedwetters career he was much more of a running/scrambling qb so some of those ratios are slightly skewed by that
Here's the presser if anyone's interested: https://livestream.com/accounts/8109350/events/2963279
The ratio was also skewed by the fact that he'd run during garbage time. Plus, the issue was when the run vs pass would be called, in a way that defenses could frequently predict. First down? Long pass attempt. Second and ten? Draw play. And so on.

Picking it up on the Eagles app. Still waiting to get past the repeating music and graphics...
not sure if hes nervous or just his inexperience...maybe both
but he couldn't possibly sound less inspiring or less like a leader
lol he said "this organization has not won in quite some time"
holy crap he can barely put together a competent sentence
this is really uncomfortable and tough to listen to...I validly feel bad for him
lol he's getting into that retarded long drive against the pats the other night
Just sounds nervous.
part of what seems so unpolished is that he hasn't really learned how to dodge questions and spin answers to his advantage yet
I couldn't care less if he sounds like Forrest Gump. Bottom line is we won't know what kind of coach he is until this time next year.
Exactly, he's just answering straight forward.
But don't worry jeffy is stepping in.

Two takeaways from watching the stream...
1) Lurie is a tiny man. Standing next to Pederson he looks like a midget.
2) Pederson is very uncomfortable in front of the press - wonder how long it'll take him to adjust to the attention
So did Lurie pretend like no one was talking when asked about Howie?

putting whether you want Howie involved in PP aside I thought he gave a fine answer....said they will be hiring a pp head and at that time they will explain the structure...but by all accounts it sounds like it will be a collab as they said it would be a couple of weeks ago

I'm thinking that he will adjust. I'm sure this has got to be an intensely uncomfortable place to be, and he's just not used to it. I think I like to see that more than having some BSer who just stands there and blows smoke up my ass. Hopefully he shows some personality and spark, and the media players don't grind him to a pulp before that happens.
He thought it was better not to give Brady the ball back than it was to score two touchdowns to win.
I heard him correctly there, right? I mean that was his actual explanation.

not only did he babble about it in a completely mush brained way but he did it twice
also he said he was calling the plays so it wouldn't have been throwing andy under the bus
guy sounds like a complete simpleton to me
So you this will be a failure ?
other than maybe his wife is there anyone on the planet that thinks he will succeed?
i don't even think lurie believes that
5 year deal
So Lurie will have to eat 2 years of money after the 3rd year firing
I'd say he only lasts two years, but I've said that from the jump. This is a stop-gap signing until they can lure in a real coach. Now it's up to Howie and collaborators to piece a decent roster together. Let's Go Flyers.
I was absolutely blown away by the press conference. Well-spoken, quick-thinking, took complete command of the room. He just LOOKS like a head coach. Like a leader.
His time management explanation attempt was the most feeble non-answer I think I've ever heard.
He had a chance right there to come clean and say, "well, I farged it up. I should have used my time outs and had the offense be more alert with the time running down."
Instead he said, ummm.... errrrr... Tom Brady.... DERP.
Good God we are never getting a Super Bowl win.

Sarcasm ?
He wasn't great but I don't think he was as bad as you guys are saying.
Not sure if any of you have ever had to speak in front of a large group of people or not, but it ain't easy. When I was recruiting in the Marines, I gave a presentation every Friday to roughly 300 people. I rehearsed it about 20x before my first presentation. I could give it in front of my peers without needing to look back at the slide projection behind me. Then I stood in front of a shtein load of total strangers and I farging sucked. I was stuttering and stumbling through everything. I was saying things that made no sense. I was answering questions so poorly that people were asking me to clarify over and over. I was brutal and I broke every rule about public speaking. I got progressively better each week. After 4-6 weeks I was presenting info flawlessly and I cut my speaking time in half. Point is, it's a skill that most people need to experience to get good at so I'm going to give him a bit of a pass for sounding like a mush mouth.
I think he'll be competent at worst in the leadership department. I think he'll have really good rapport with the players and their respect. Will be take that to the next level and have them ready to run through a brick wall for him? Time will tell.
He didn't give much info in terms of what his offense is going to be, other than it having WCO foundation, but will incorporate other styles. I have no idea what to think about the offense that we'll be seeing.
I definitely didn't care for his explanation of the final few minutes of the Pats game. He was basically making the on sides kick the do or die play of the game, which is something I think nearly every coach in the country would try to avoid. Get in the endzone, kick deep, and give your defense a shot to go 3 and out.
Everything else was pretty meh.
I loved the fact that in the beginning, Lurie put a lot of emphasis on wanting a coach that's approachable. Not so thinly veiled shot at Chip. Awesome.
Belichick is as approachable as a pit viper. He's a colossal dick who couldn't care less about Boston, the fans, or anything else except winning Super Bowls.
I'll take one of those, please.
another great pedersonism on sportscenter tonight
"that's an important position on any football team....you know....that quarterback position"
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. I did a search and still couldn't find the Fire Doug Peterson thread. But it looks like Jeff's long term plan is to rebuild the team by stockpiling a few years worth of top draft picks then hiring an NFL coach.

both guys are dicks but the key difference btwn belly and chip is that most of bellys players would lay in traffic for him where as chips players almost to a man despised
Kelly is the smart kid everyone hates. Bellichick is the smart kid who sells the best pot.
pederson seems like substitute teacher that got a job full time and nobody is going to take him seriously
how many weeks into the season before schwartz is openly undermining him. 4? 1?
the one potentially really good thing that came out of today was lurie refusing to say that Howie would be the point man for PP...and then Howies media session pretty much backing this up...we will see who they hire...if they go after a ballard then Howie is in trouble....if they go after an up and comer like hortiz or fitterer then the collab will be in full effect
ex Browns OC John DeFilippo is the new QB coach
coached sanchez in ny
Who's going to start then?
RGIII
that would certainly keep it interesting
They could pick up Chase Daniels for way less than Bradford would cost, and about the same price as Sanchez. Pederson already knows the guy, and he could manage the offense much in the way Pederson did when Reid drafted McNabb.
The unfortunate part is that we don't have a high enough #1 pick to snag a franchise QB.
Would fitzpatrick be an option ?

Maybe next year they'll have a shot at Watson

gene chung back as well
SUPER.BOWL.BOUND.
I've been thru the staff he put together and although it's not overwhelmingly impressive, it's not bad at all. I'm mildly impressed that they've gotten it together as quickly as they have. I'm still nowhere near being sold and I think Pederson is going to be a disaster, but at least he seems able to select competent football guys to coach whatever middling talent they end up with.
holy shtein this buffoons presser today was so cringe worthy
Oh dear. This is going to be fun.

I watched just about every Chip PC and even most of them by boring-ass Andy, but I just don't have it in me to sit through a June Doug PC.
This may be one of the worst off season's as far as the excitement, anticipation, curiosity level. Kind of like the rest of the Philly sporting teams.

NFL.com had an edited down version of that last week that really did make him sound dumb, basically just telling a bunch of guys "good job" and saying nothing actually related to football. This version is way better. Makes me wonder if NFL Films cuts out all the football talk because they aren't sure what the team would be comfortable leaving in.

look at the thread title tex
nobody on earth was high on doug....he still seems like he cant remember where he left his keys
but damn if he cant call a game
And manage the clock.
The fears of being a train wreck seem to be unfounded. He's aggressive on fourth, runs the ball and saves timeouts. Brain doesn't compute this yet
2 games, 1 of them on MNF in a rowdy sports town like Chicago and I don't think the Eagles have had to burn a single TO to avoid penalty. Plays are coming in quickly and Wentz isn't lost under center. This is seriously refreshing.
i didnt like anything about the 4th and goal call from the 1 up 15 with fossil midget sproles, but other than that theres really nothing to complain about
the 2nd attempt at it was much better
just use mathews or barner on the goal line from now on and we're cool
I'm thinking that his logic was that Sproles would be hard to find and he could just tunnel under the pile. It's not completely retarded, but yeah, just pound it in with a big back.
I gotta believe the D line is thinking the same thing and just submarining at the snap as they usually do anyway.

you might be wrong you might not...it's two friggin games in...yes after coaching for 8 quarters it's nice to have not seen him fall on his face yet which I thought he would do but people also had chip kelly in the HOF after four quarters
Chip was HOF after the 1st half of the racist game.
One thing that I've been very pleasantly surprised about Pederson is I figured he'd be the ultra conservative type, but he's shown no hesitation with 4th and short once across the 50.

But a lot of HOF bandwagoners bailed when Washington came back in the second half.
Pederson has already made adjustments in the first two games that Kelly refused to make in three years there. Again, Kelly is a great college coach but he's also the most stubborn SOB ever to blow a whistle.

no what you said was the exact opposite of interesting and shockingly thoughtless even for you
Really? Huh.
Please, do go on.
this sounds an awful lot like doug doesnt know what 12 personnel means?
QuoteAsked about #Eagles' use of "12" personnel last week, Doug Pederson paused, then said he doesn't use numbers system on offense.
The media has essentially launched a campaign about anyone who wants Doug Pederson fired.
"You can't fire coaches after one season!"
"You don't want to become the Cleveland Browns!"
"It's not Doug's fault!"
1. Yes you can fire coaches after one season. Why not? If a coach sucks he sucks. The guy should have never been hired in the first place. The goal is to get the best coach for the job that you possibly can, and a guy you think can lead the Eagles in the direction of a Superbowl. If Lurie and co. doesn't think Doug can do that, he absolutely can be fired after one season.
2. The Cleveland Browns are the biggest joke in professional sports most likely. While the Eagles have been in some ugly times of late, it would take a lot to become the Cleveland Browns, and pass a few more awful teams along the way to reaching it. Maybe if they keep Doug Pederson, they will become the Cleveland Browns, if he ends up being that terrible of a coach. There are two ways of looking at it.
3. It may not be completely Doug's fault, as on offense he doesn't have a lot to work with, but you don't always have to be completely at fault for you to lose your job. People lose their jobs all the time simply for the fact that the person doing the decision-making thinks there is another candidate out there better. Not just in sports, but in any profession. If Lurie thinks Doug Pederson isn't completely at fault, but likes a candidate out there way more than him after this season, yes, he absolutely can be fired.
By the way, these are the same media folk who absolutely trashed the hire when it was made, and said the whole coaching search process was a joke... which it was... but if Lurie went back on his verbal agreement with Doug a couple days later and hired someone else, everyone would have been like "Jeff Lurie saved himself from hiring an unqualified Doug Pederson!" But now the narrative is "Not Doug's fault! Can't fire him!" Yes you farging can.
If this team goes into the tank down the stretch and gets annihilated by 3 division opponents at home, Pederson can hit the road and we all can pretend this joke of an experiment never happened.
1. Doug is a terrible coach. I have seen absolutely nothing since the first rumors of him getting the job to indicate that he is a legitimate NFL head coach.
2. If the players are actually upset about Doug's vague, mild effort statement, they are emotionally weak. This is the kind of stupid bullshtein a losing team focuses on instead of what it can do to improve.
3. Doug isn't the reason this team sucks. The offensive personnel are horrible. They would still be horrible with a good coach.
4. Doug should still be fired, because of #1.
What is a more demoralizing thought in the locker room?
A. "Coach doesn't think I give enough effort."
OR
B. "Coach farging sucks."
I submit that it is B. And it's something that anyone with a brain in that locker room was thinking before this week.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Quote from: QB Eagles on December 09, 2016, 07:06:01 PM

I'm pretty sure everyone said it when he was hired
After we got done laughing and shaking our heads, you mean.
I gave the guy a shot, but yeah, he's done. The players deserve better and so do we. Not gonna happen, though.
so "IF" doug gets the boot, who do you want in his place?
Gus Bus!
McDaniels would be my actual pick. I'd love McDermott but he's not coming to Philly after getting the back of Howie's hand.
mcdermott would be dumb anyway because hes a defensive guy....they need a sharp offensive minded head coach to grow wentz
That's what QB coaches are for. And who says McDermott couldn't hire a great OC?
But anyway I said McKid for a reason. He'd be ideal.
yeah, I think mcdaniels would be the right choice. maybe Bradley as the DC ?
if you want a young up and coming oc, the two names at the top of the list are mcdaniels and kyle shanahan
otherwise:
harold goodwin (cards)
darrell bevvell (seahawks)
jim bob cooter (lions)
todd monken (bucs)
sean mcvay (wash)
then theres giving a guy like scott lenahan a 2nd crack or trading for sean payton. doug lookin safe.
He's not getting fired this year
I actually lol'd at Cooter.
Pederson is getting 2 years minimum, maybe even 3.
He's a dope, but he also has little talent to work with. I can't say that this team would be significantly better with a different HC right now.
Maybe, but they lost 6 games this year by one score, and of those 6, 5 of them were by less than a TD and 2 of them by a single point.
If the Eagles have a better coaching staff, even if that led to the Eagles winning 3 of those 6 games, they have 8 wins and are right in the mix for a wildcard spot.

That's assuming that a different HC/coaching staff would have them in the exact same position during all of those games. It's ridiculous to try and figure out how a different HC would do in those very specific scenarios when chances are those exact scenarios would never present themselves if another person was calling the shots. The games would have played out completely different from the opening kick.....maybe for the better, maybe for the worse. Who knows?
But what it really comes down to is you don't fire a HC after 1 season unless it was a catastrophic disaster. Especially when your QB is tied to the HC like Wentz and Pederson are. Firing Pederson starts setting Wentz up for a Sam Bradford situation where he's getting a different OC every year for the first few years. Unless the 2nd coming of Bill Walsh makes himself available to the Eagles, it just doesn't make sense to fire Pederson after 1 year. You gotta give any HC a minimum of 2 years (3 is ideal, imo) to implement his system and get the players he wants before you can really evaluate his ability.
normally id agree but pederson is straight up unqualified...his mistakes are catastrophic...they arent mistakes where you can nitpick on play calls or the pass run ratio...altho he does make those as well he makes many more mistakes that pop warner coaches wouldnt make....hes a travesty and needs to go for a real nfl head coach...if this was wentz fifth coach in seven years the continuity argument might fly but wentz wasnt even supposed to play this year...getting him a real coach to grow up with would be a huge net positive not a negative
shtein chip made the playoffs his rookie year and by the end of year two even most of his defenders could tell he was not an nfl head coach....pederson has never had a real coaching position in his life and couldnt form sentences at his intro presser which led into some of the most inexplicable decisions/explanations ive ever seen at any level this year
all that being said pederson is not going anywhere....the birds are going to have to put up with his shtein for at least another season or two and any games they win will be in spite of him....then move forward into wentz prime with a real coach
Some of his mistakes are 100% on him. Others I gotta at least spread the blame equally to the players.
Take Agholor's 4th and 2 jet sweep for example. That play call wasn't a bad call at all. The hole was there for him to cut upfield and make the first, but he kept going to the outside. And I'm pretty sure he still could have made it if he wasn't a total moron. Obviously you can blame Pederson for relying on Agholor with such a critical play, but it's not like he's got a deep stable of players to use in that situation either.
I'm not really trying to defend the guy. It's not like I think he's ever going to be a great HC, I just think that unless you want to risk being the Rams or the Browns you gotta give him 2 or 3 years. I think he's probably along the lines of a Jason Garrett, who was like a career .500 coach before this season and I think most fans wanted to run him out of Dallas. But now the guy has a couple of studs and suddenly he's COTY material. Amazing how talent can make an average coach look really good.

yeah and agholor should be fired after this year...doug is basically the coaching version of agholor...but at least agholor showed a lot in college...doug has never done shtein at any coaching level other than i guess high school and im not sure how good he was there
doug pederson being as good a coach as jason garrett is laughable....im not even saying garrett is some genius but doug is not an nfl coach period...garrett had a resume before he was hired and whatever else you want to say about him really smart...doug is more rich kotite or bruce coslet with no experience...if wentz becomes a true franchise qb could he turn into a 8-8 9-7 coach...i suppose so...but why wait around for that...they should cut bait as soon as possible and not waste any years
theres maybe been three games this year where doug didnt make an egregious decision that cost them....and in about half the games hes made fireable ones
--the sproles swing pass against dallas
--the wentz sweep and sproles up the guts vs the giants
--the matthews sweep against detroit
--allowing dallas to run out the clock
--the insane amount of passing plays this year with no wr's
--not calling a time out when agholor was lined up wrong against seattle
--in preseason not knowing how many headset channels the nfl allowed for calling in plays and thinking he had to go thru frank reich to get plays in
--the two yard challenge
--putting smallwood in against dallas
im sure im forgetting a bunch but it goes on and on...kindergarten mistakes...the kind that dont really improve with experience...you either know this shtein or you dont...and this doesnt even count the insane explanations hes given for things going back to the debacle in kc last year...him not knowing rules and how things work...hes so far in over his head its not even funny
chip kelly was/is a stubborn farg...a coach like that can change...doug pederson is a moron and you dont start getting smart at age 50
oh lolol i forgot about this one after the minny game...explaining what half the distance to the goal means when you are on the two yard line
"It's kind of a no brainer because you get the ball at the one, half the distance from the two"

Quotechip kelly was/is a stubborn farg...a coach like that can change...doug pederson is a moron and you dont start getting smart at age 50
I'm probably just arguing semantics here, but stubborn people don't change. I'm pretty sure that not changing is a common theme among stubborn people. Chip ain't changing and Pederson isn't getting a Mensa invite any time soon, but I think Pederson has a higher NFL ceiling than Chip.
I'm not even sure why I'm defending the guy. I kind of feel bad for him, I guess. Not to mention that I really do want him to do well. He seems like a likable dope who would unintentionally keep you laughing all day and doesn't have a clue as to why.
i mean you very well may be right but chip kelly could change if he wanted...its at least a possibility however small of one

Maybe, but they lost 6 games this year by one score, and of those 6, 5 of them were by less than a TD and 2 of them by a single point.
If the Eagles have a better coaching staff, even if that led to the Eagles winning 3 of those 6 games, they have 8 wins and are right in the mix for a wildcard spot.
That's assuming that a different HC/coaching staff would have them in the exact same position during all of those games. It's ridiculous to try and figure out how a different HC would do in those very specific scenarios when chances are those exact scenarios would never present themselves if another person was calling the shots. The games would have played out completely different from the opening kick.....maybe for the better, maybe for the worse. Who knows?
But what it really comes down to is you don't fire a HC after 1 season unless it was a catastrophic disaster. Especially when your QB is tied to the HC like Wentz and Pederson are. Firing Pederson starts setting Wentz up for a Sam Bradford situation where he's getting a different OC every year for the first few years. Unless the 2nd coming of Bill Walsh makes himself available to the Eagles, it just doesn't make sense to fire Pederson after 1 year. You gotta give any HC a minimum of 2 years (3 is ideal, imo) to implement his system and get the players he wants before you can really evaluate his ability.
I didn't mean it that way. I was just using it as a barometer. What I meant was, if the Eagles had a better coaching staff, if these are teams they are barely losing to with awful coaching, I don't think it's a reach to say if they went into those games well coached, they could pull some of those out.
I think Doug Pederson is directly responsible for 2 of the losses at least. Dallas and Giants. In Dallas like ice said, he did the stupid pass to push the FG back, declined not to kick the FG, which makes it a 2 possession game with 5 minutes left or so.
The Giants game they had to play catch up all game long with his idiotic decisions to go for 4th down, and when he went for them he kept running Wentz to the edge like he had Michael Vick speed. It was just awful.
I'm not just focusing in on Pederson either, Schwartz has been bad. Guy refuses to blitz in a game unless he gets massively drilled through the media the week before, shows very little creativity or diversity on defense. All his defensive units have regressed this season and with no major injuries to blame. I'm starting to think he was unemployed last year for a reason.
I don't think the Eagles are a playoff team with a better coaching staff, but I can say this confidently and that's with a better coaching staff, the Eagles certainly would not have been officially eliminated from playoff contention already, and would have more wins than they do now.
you can make make an argument that putting vaitai in at all when he clearly wasnt ready and then not helping him for most of the game cost them the wash game
then you had three games in a row with double digit penalties and two of those games being close losses...now obviously all those penalties are not on the coach but when its that bad his nice guy persona that made no one accountable much less worried definitely contributed to a laissez faire attitude...i will say that is correctable as dealing with a locker room is definitely something you feel out as you gain experience in the league
They're 0-6 in games decided by 7 points or less. Coaching matters in games like that. It's no substitute for talent on the field, however. Give Wentz the weapons that were here before (Pimp, Shady and Maclin) and I have no doubt this is a playoff team.
I agree, but I don't think they will ever be a Superbowl contender until they get real coaches in here. Even in this watered down NFL. I know it's a cliche, but the NFL isn't like the NBA, in the NFL playoffs anybody can be anybody. Those chances increase dramatically when you have a legit coaching staff that goes in there and throws something the other staff isn't prepared for. I have no confidence Pederson or Schwartz would be capable of doing that.
I could make the playoffs in the NFL...and probably even win a game

Quote"My beloved 76ers once hired a guy by the name of Roy Rubin from Long Island University. Poor Roy. He finished 4-47 before the Sixers canned him. 4-47! Years later, Fred Carter said 'Letting Rubin coach was like letting a teenager run a big corporation.'
Hey Fred, meet the Eagles' head coach, Doug Pederson! Now, everybody knows Pederson isn't a head coach. He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I've ever seen in my 30-plus years in the NFL.
Hot take society coming through
Off the top of my head Rich Kotite, Ray Handley, Chris Palmer, Rod Marinelli, Pat Shurmur, Rod Chudzinski, Lane Kiffin....all in the argument to be worse choices than Doug.
I'm sure there's more.
Pederson is a boring choice. He's had bad moments but he's not the worst ever
Doesn't matter if he is among the worst coaching hires all time or if he's just some boring, middle of the pack guy who will eventually be forgotten. Win football games or gtfo. This is a make or break year for him as far as I'm concerned.

You're in your "no middle ground" mode. It always ain't locked one or the other. Lombardi's statement was ridiculous. Pederson isn't great. He's not even average yet. He's a guy.

It's premature to judge Doug one way or the other. I mean, most of us know he's not a good head coach, but he took a rookie QB, makeshift O line, RBC, and the worst WRs in the league and turned them into a semi competent offense. I'll give the guy another year before I really bash him.

Christ, that's what I say to my kids on a daily basis to get them to school. Flipping out? :-D
I've never seen such a display of passion and grit
Give it up for Doug
He's doing a bang up job for a second year coach. The team always gives 100%. Aside from the second half of the KC game this team hasn't been outplayed. The players love playing for him.
He looks and comes off like a dolt but he clearly has a grasp on the offense. Wentz's quick development isn't a coincidence either.
I'm not buying the SB talk. Never will until they get there. But Doug's a good coach. Bottom line.
He coaches as good as his players perform. I swear an NFL Head Coach's job is 99% psychiatrist these days. If you can get these millionaire meatheads to buy into what you're selling, and you have decent talent to work with, you have a good shot to win.
They aren't drastically different than last year's team, yet look at the results. Amazing job so far just herding these cats into the same direction.

I just can't. Too much disappointment built into decades of Eagle fandom to make that jump. I'm enjoying the ride, but can't make that leap.
hes awful but has a franchise qb and the best DC in the league as well as an overall good staff....but hey brian billick and barry switzer won chips so why cant this buffoon
key will be how does he handle the inevitable turnover in staff
worst 8-1 coach ever
while i wouldnt trust doug game management wise theres no doubt he can game plan with anyone
hes still a doofus when he speaks but i can live with that
BB isn't exactly Cicero. How Doug speaks is the least of what I worry about with him. I think we can throw out the "podium test".
While I'm definitely not on the Doug hype train yet, I don't see any reason to be critical while he keeps improving. He's done well beyond expectations this season. If/when it comes crashing down there will be plenty of time to rip into him.
Other than the Giants game this year, I really can't think of any games where he was really questionable with his play calling. Maybe a few dumb calls against the Chiefs, but overall his game plans have been pretty effective and his situational play calling has been good as well.
Is he a great coach? Time will tell, but I'm starting to feel comfortable saying that he belongs in the NFL.
doug has shown he can coach at this level. we all shall see how this goes. one thing, these guys play for him. they have bought in.

Arguably their best WR this year couldn't figure out where to line up on the field last year. They're missing their best LB, OT, CB & RB. How is that not demonstrably similar to the chaos that was the 2016 Eagles?
But really who gives a shtein? They're 8-1 and this guy has been a totally unexpected surprise.
I'll take it. In fact when is his contract extension presser scheduled because you know that's coming.
ehhhh lets calm down there. i wouldnt given doug an extension until midway through next season so long as this thing keeps up. hes on a 5 year deal. theres no rush.
They'll do his extension during the parade. Literally. They'll have a float with Doug signing his extension and taking questions from the media all the way down Broad St
the mummers parade?
Just to be clear... I'm not saying he's earned it yet. But Jeffrey loves to lock him up some talent early in their deals, so...

You think Doug is awful but Buddy was the best coach the Eagles ever had. Buddy never won a single playoff game even though he had the best defense in the league and a MVP quarterback. Think about that. He might as well been coaching Randall using a "Offense for Dummies" book. He never had another head coaching job and everywhere he went he was more a distraction than an asset. Yeah he was a great motivator and the players loved him but he couldn't head coach a Pop Warner team. Pederson has turned this team completely around in two years after Chip Kelley dismantled it. Not just turned it around, he has what is arguably the best team in the NFL. He brought in the perfect staff to develop Wentz. Yeah I'm a UM guy and have always liked Reich. When he was with San Diego Rivers had three straight 4g passing seasons. Don't know much about Filippo, but everyone says good things about what he did with McCown in Cleveland.
So other than Pederson sounding like he just fell off the turnip truck, and a very few questionable moves early in the season, what is your problem with him? Normally I'd say he's too white for you, but I've seen your comments about Wentz, and there ain't nobody anymore white or Christian than he is, so I can't say that. (Your comments about Wentz blew my mind, by the way. Never would have guessed that coming from you, even if Wentz does look like the second coming of Johnny Unitas.) So give me something "concrete". Tell me, how is it you think he's "awful"?

doug will have at least a playoff win so
but hey remember when buddy trash talked jimmy johnson that was better than winning
yeah but buddy spoke out against the man (nfl ownsership) and their slave network.
Yeah, forgot that. That was embarrassing.
Buddy is my all time favorite coach. I think even Havas will admit he wasn't a great HC. He was a great DC, but just a good HC. What he represents is why he's so loved in the city. Hard hitting, shtein talking, attitude D that just put a hurt on people. Buddy was a rebel as a coach, rebelled against the league, his owner, and other coaches. He just didn't give a farg. That's why we love him.

And there was a lot of things that happened last year that supported it, but outside of a few questionable decisions against KC and the 1st NYG game, Doug has been really damn good this year.
IGY can be about as stubborn as an elephant sometimes though.
Even Kotite had a better win % than Buddy, and no one is calling him a good coach, ever.
doug is a feeble simpleton being completely carried by jim schwartz and carson wentz.....seems like a nice guy tho

Buddy is my all time favorite coach. I think even Havas will admit he wasn't a great HC. He was a great DC, but just a good HC. What he represents is why he's so loved in the city. Hard hitting, shtein talking, attitude D that just put a hurt on people. Buddy was a rebel as a coach, rebelled against the league, his owner, and other coaches. He just didn't give a farg. That's why we love him.
I don't think he was even a "good" head coach. Yeah, I loved his attitude but what do you think a coach like Billik, or Big Tuna woulda' done with that squad? Pro Bowlers everywhere and a few future HOF'rs.
Don't know about that. He turned late round/undrafted players/picks like Joyner/B&E/Simmons/Waters etc. into Pro Bowlers. His problem was more so than any coach in history he just didn't give a flying farg about offense. He took a crap team and won the East which was an absolute power house of a division.
The Eagles were 5 adequate players short of being legit contenders under Buddy. LT, LG, C, RG, RT.

So you think he's awful because, in your opinion, he's being carried by the staff that
he hired? Well, if he is a "feeble simpleton", then you at the very least have to give him credit for hiring good people to work around him.
I think you head is so hard that your lucky hair can grow through it. No one is gonna' call him the NFL's Einstein, but in his second year he's taken the league by storm, drafted a qb who will most likely be the best Philly has ever had, and completely turned this team around.

doug didn't hire Swartz.
just sayin
link (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/coaches/jim-schwartz/8a476a32-f62a-4c99-8cd5-35a47a600753)
He did according to Swartz's bio.
QuoteJim Schwartz was hired by Eagles head coach Doug Pederson in the 2016 offseason and comes to Philadelphia with 22 years of NFL coaching experience, including five years as the head coach of the Detroit Lions (2009-13).
well that's what I get for listening to ike reese. he stated Swartz was hired by Howie before perderson was.
either way, Pederson has to be given his due for how this team is rolling this year.
Reid did stupid shtein all the time. Probably more so than Doug even to this day. He only focused on offense and hired great assistants. He used to call JJ the assistant HC because he completely handled the Defense. Nobody would call Reid a bad coach. It's about perception, Reid doesn't come off like a doofus, Doug does.

Pederson started his tenure as the Eagles HC as a dumbfarg; the first five pages are accurate. He even seemed like a dumbfarg through the first two games of this season.
The most frustrating thing about Reid was he kept repeating the same mistake over and over. I'm not sure Doug has.
All I got from rereading this is Fitzpatrick was supposed to stay a Jet, and IGY and Phreak both thought Goff and Wentz would be busts.
All I got from that is you're shorebird's sheep and will re-read anything he commands
Jokes on you, I reread threads all the time out of boredom.
The only thing GF would do if I asked him is delete my account.
He didn't do it when any of us asked him to. What makes you so special?
He's just got that little extra something that makes him special. A chromosome, probably.

If it's based on the season, you have to give it to McVay (turning an offense from #32 to #1) or Zimmer (doing what he did with a backup QB and RB the whole year). If you include the postseason, Pederson has a stronger case. He had the MVP playing QB for most of the season, which is like coaching on easy mode.

I generally agree with you; however, one could make the case that coaching put the young QB in a better position to look like an MVP.
this might be my biggest mea culpa ever....although i still wanna see him after a staff overhaul....because they appear to be loaded with really good coaches in pretty much every unit on the team
but up until now hes proven to be a fantastic play designer and play caller.....in what i guess is an homage to the andy coaching tree he makes some pretty horrendous time out decisions clock management stuff but wentz can over come that
i've been screaming "we scored on a flea flicker" for days.

Don't get me wrong, he did a great job with Wentz this season. I really like the aggressive playcalling and all the different looks he's trotted out over this season. He's improved massively over his rookie coaching year. It's just an unusual year because you had those two other coaches accomplishing incredible things too. And I probably shouldn't leave out Marrone, who got to the AFC championship with Blake Bortles playing as his starter all year. Everything that team did was built around minimizing the impact of their bad QB. That can't be easy.

They hired a guy with no experience who doesn't even call the plays, on a team with an offense that isn't even good.
This hire is some amateur hour shtein. Was he even a good high school coach? At least he seems like a nice guy.
I'm friends with some Chiefs fans and they aren't concerned in the slightest about him leaving.

Totally bland hire. He's not even intriguing because he's such an unknown. But he's not Chip Kelly, so I'm not going to hate on him until he actually gives me reason to.
Go Doug!!
I might be the winner here.
from a PFT blurb
Quote"You learn if you play passive, if you play conservative, if you call plays conservatively, you are going to be 8-8, 9-7 every year," Pederson said. "Every year. Frank and I just having that collaborative spirit to talk about things and talk with our quarterbacks and just come up with ways of keeping this game fresh and fun and exciting for our players. And that's really where it all stems from."
I find this quote revealing. What I hear Doug saying here is that being aggressive is not just a style of play that is unusual in a field of risk-averse teams at play during a pretty buttoned-up era of the game, but that it's essentially a personnel management strategy. He's saying, when we go for the throat, the play call is a message to the players that the coaches believe in them, it's a psychological call as much as a football one. Doug wins the team by giving them what they want on the field. They want to beat the other team, not just win. They want to answer a failed pass to the QB with a successful one. They want to score touchdowns on 3rd and 8 from 40 yards out. Pederson routinely gives them the chance to do that, which is a signal to them that he's their guy.
That, and he trusts the QB to do what they feel comfortable with instead of shoehorning them into his system. What a nice change of pace.
Doug is a farging champ. Played to win. No fear. Couldn't ask for more.

One of the radio heads just broke down the Foles TD catch call: they had an undrafted free agent take a handoff, flip it to an undrafted tight end, who threw it to a qb who wanted to retire on 4th and goal in the Super Bowl.
The books about this team are going to be great.

Rope a dope
But on the real, quarter of the way through last season I stopped questioning his coaching, he obviously had a grasp on motivating players. He utilizes different formations in the spread so defenses are kept off guard. He's probably the best coach in the league at in game adjustments on offense. He gives the defenses different looks keeping them off guard. He modified the offense to fit Foles strengths. The RPO twist was a stroke of genius.
i dont think hes going to fall on his face or anything and hes light years better than i ever thought hed be but i am interested to see how he handles the staff turnover
He's got a 14-inch, coke-bottle thick cock in his pants when it comes to coaching. Nothing scares him.

Everyone...fans...media...coaches...underestimated him. Wentz going down was somewhat a blessing in disguise. The D wasn't playing well when Wentz went down. Starting with the second half of the Raiders game the light bulb came on and they realized they couldn't rely on the offense anymore to bail them out. Everyone in the world who watched Foles those first few games were thinking now that Wentz is done so are the Eagles. Nobody took the guy seriously. The Falcons/Vikings thought they had an easy win. They were huge underdogs the entire playoffs. My concern isn't so much with staff turnover as it is the league isn't going to view him as a doofus anymore because he's proven he's a good coach.
I don't care if he never wins another game. His 2017 season will go down in history for all Philly fans. He's a farging football god as far as I'm concerned.
It would be so awesome if he just never punted the rest of the season just to say, 'farg it'... and just really farg with teams.
Worst case, he doesn't win any games and we get next year's #1 pick and we'd all have fun polishing our championship crowns/belts all years as we watch a fun season.
He's the first coach they've had since Vermeil that's capable of learning from his mistakes. Also, he won a fargin' Super Bowl with a backup quarterback. These are things no one in the world expected.
If Doug requested it, I think we should all avail ourselves to have his babies.

As much as I hated Pederson, wanting him fired after three games into his tenure, this is what endeared me to him the most. It''ts also a major factor as to why the Eagles didn't miss a beat when hall of famers like Peters and Wentz were lost for the season.
Quote from: Diomedes on March 27, 2018, 08:26:58 PM

His accomplishments deserve for us men to find a way.
Listening to that fargwad Kraft belly aching about how he still hasn't gotten over the Super Bowl with his "the way we lost" spin makes this even sweeter. Sproles goes down, Hicks goes down, Peters goes down, Wentz goes down and guys like Clement, Vaitai, Foles step right in and next thing you know parade down Broad St. Truly remarkable. Pederson and his staff did such a great job. I brought this up before but I'll never forget how Vermeil had the birds wound up so tight before SB XV as he basically ran practice like training camp during the two week layoff, you could tell they were beaten and done during introductions. They looked scared, overwhelmed and exhausted. Raiders were out all night every night and said 'hey, we're in New Orleans! Let's party!" You just had a feeling going into SB XLVII Doug & Co. had these guys ready.
Oh and farg you Bob Kraft!
I watched a youtube cut up of the SB, and talking about Pederson the narrator put it well - "Don't be fooled by his folksy talk and easy smile, he goes for the jugular." And yeah Don, I remember that intro to the '80 season SB more than anything else. Raiders looked like badasses and the Eagles looked scared. Amazing since they played a couple of months before and the Eagles won, sacking Plunkett like 8 times.

Weren't they 3-0 after his first three games?
Lol.
I thought it was a clueless hire. The guy had no resume, no real playcalling history, came from an unimpressive offense, and wasn't able to describe anything articulately. He made a large number of bozo mistakes in Year 1, including some game-costers. Honestly he seemed like a nice friendly interim coach to bring in to cleanse of the palette after the sourness of the Chip experience... basically a holdover before going out and finding the next real coach after a couple years.
I underestimated his drive and ability to get better. I think he is obsessed with the details of football in the way that all the best coaches are. He approaches challenges with an open mind. We got to see behind the scenes a lot more this past season, and Doug got better at explaining his thinking too. He understands what he's doing and how to get the most out of his players.
Now he's earned the benefit of the doubt, and I won't seriously criticize him for a long while, even if he reverts to sucking balls. He brought home the friggin trophy.

He's the firtst coach they've had since Vermeil that's capable of learning from his mistakes.
As much as I hated Pederson, wanting him fired after three games into his tenure, this is what endeared me to him the most. It''ts also a major factor as to why the Eagles didn't miss a beat when hall of famers like Peters and Wentz were lost for the season.
Weren't they 3-0 after his first three games?
Lol.
They were far and away the worst three wins in franchise history
lol this was doug on his end of 1H run (fyi there was 11 seconds left when the ball was snapped)
"Get the first down, burn the timeout, and then have maybe eight seconds left to start taking shots into the end zone".

I hope they notified the nearby ice cream stands.
thankfully feathered hair is not an underlying condition
I'll let my mom know.
this is why this cant work...im sure theyre taking precaution in the building but then doug goes home and hes got 4 teenagers who are probably not remotely taking this seriously. hes not the only coach with idiot kids. then factor in all the block headed players going to the titty bar and yea im sure there wont be any outbreaks
I hope it was at least a Zoom meeting where he told the team.

Mort and McManus saying Doug isn't a lock to return. Lurie apparently has concerns beyond fixing Wentz.

A little surprising but hell if Lurie is going to whack him get it done in time to hire Bienemy
https://twitter.com/JFMcMullen/status/1348309962305495044
Sure, farg it. Trade Doug. Howie's bound to get one right if you give him enough draft picks.
That would be interesting.
I'm not ready for Doug to go but we shall see. Watch him go and win up there with Joe D. Maybe THEN Lurie would see that farging Howie is the problem.
Wonder what they'd get in return?
a bag of raw dicks

Think it's obvious the meeting on Tuesday went like:
Jeff: What steps can we take to improve the team for next year?
Doug: uh we gotta execute better... get healthy... maybe take a look at the film and see what we can tweak there
doug has gone all in on press taylor who lurie and management has to hate...wentz got worse under his watch and the offense has sucked since he climbed up. doug is the kind of blockheaded doofus who not only views someone as mediocre as press taylor as his protege but is willing to stake his reputation on him

i will never ever understand how he won a super bowl. or passed an interview. i know gase, coughlin and macadoo all rejected them and they were desperate to hire someone but there is no way his interview process went well
It's got to be the staff hiring thing that's getting him whacked.
Imagine going all in on your job because of Press Taylor. Or Mike Groh.
Usually these HCs will lft people to save themselves.

Forrest got a Lombardi so I'm good with that.
think it was a heisman
I'm gonna go with the theory that Doug knows the Lombardi will get him another job somewhere else, and he's been done with Howie and Wentz since last season.
doug was saddled with schwartz, staley, undlin, stout and a few others when he got hired. he was forced to fire groh even though he didnt want to. hes basically putting his foot down, saying i won a super bowl i can pick my staff....so hes basically prepared to die on a hill for press taylor
nobody has ever accused this guy of being smart

how many different ways need to be shown that the players hate this dood
Some eyeball emojis on Twitter would really help, to be honest.
dougs 'respect' in the locker room was the one thing he had going for him
the offense has been trash but the team seemed to like playing for him. if thats gone then why is this even a debate

forget who goes at 6 and 19 just the fact that the 6th pick is so much more valuable than the 19th pick makes it easily worth it and that leaves out the million other reasons
another unexpected bonus is that the skins now think Taylor Heineken is their QB of the future.

The fact that all this stuff is being leaked to the press makes me think Doug is gone.
Wait until you find out about his gang ties.
and doug has officially died on his hill for press taylor
Well well well
I didn't expect that.
Not sure I agree with it.
16: 7-9
17: super bowl!
18: 9-7 with a backdoor ride into the 6 seed and a playoff win via a missed fg
19: 9-7 with a super zesty division backdoor ride into the playoffs

What coach is going to want this dumpster fire with that big fat Wentz contract and sixty million needing to be cut just to get under the cap for next season?

Meddling Howie
Can't imagine why Doug wasn't happy with the GM deciding which players get to dress every week. What a stupidly run team this is.
Yep. Punk ass Howie. Can't just be happy with being the GM - he's got to go dipping into the on field decisions.
Time to pull the reverse Bill O'Brien and get Howie in there as the Heach Coach.
Howie should have been fired before Doug. Imagine playing against Metcalf/Jefferson then looking at your wr depth and seeing JJAW and Reagor.

He befriended that afro-american receiver in his rookie season. They even had a special handshake and everything.
They're going to end up with Kafka or Joe Brady
I'll be glad to see the return of Kafka jokes.
Good bye, Doug.
Best of luck to you, Sir.
Can't wait to see him win another ring while Howie starts the next search for a head coach.
He will go to the Jets with Joe D and win.
Fine with me. He wasn't winning here.
Odds from BetOnline on next HC
Bieniemy +400
Kafka +400
Daboll +450
Arthur Smith +500
Lincoln Riley +550
Joe Brady +600
Duce Staley +750
It's easier to get fired as a coach 3 years after winning a Super Bowl than it is after you incite a rebellion against your own country as POTUS.
Hard to believe, Harry.
i just don't want to hear about them interviewing bill o'brien
Duce needs to do some coaching outside of the Eagles. I think he's capable and will succeed elsewhere, but until he does he will always be viewed as an Eagles coach, rather than an NFL coach.

Frank also coached like Doug last weekend. Didn't work out for him.
But I wish he was still here so they would've been able to promote him.
https://twitter.com/robmaaddi/status/1349143389590200321 21
God damn this franchise fell hard and fell fast into the cesspool.
lurie and roseman want the sean mcvay, kyle shanahan or yes even chip. its why they hired him. they want the offensive play calling genius guru. after 1 year it was evident this wasnt doug, so theyre like fine fire frank and hire XXXX. few years later, fire mike groh and hire XXXX. this year farg it just fire doug.
this whole thing worked out perfectly for doug. he will always have a super bowl, escapes the burning building and can look like a martyr when howie and jeff are still standing in the wreckage. this guy was playing 4d chess baby.
This could go here or in the Wentz thread but since Wentz basically cost Doug his job here ya go
McLane goes deep. Worth the read and it'll frustrate the hell out of you. Especially when you get to things like this
" In the quarterback room, when his errors were pointed out, Wentz would sometimes make irrelevant excuses and Taylor wouldn't correct him. For instance, there would be a play when he didn't throw to an open receiver. The read was drawn up as designed, the coverage played out as expected, and he would be asked why he didn't pull the trigger.
And Wentz would say the look wasn't there, or he would overemphasize the pass rush, and when it was suggested the play be run again in practice as to get it right, he would object."
Unreal.
" By the bye week, Wentz had been sacked an NFL-high of 32 times. A coaching analysis deemed the quarterback responsible for almost two-thirds. Around the break, one offensive lineman had gone to management and requested a switch to Hurts.
"Everyone believed Carson had no clue about when to get the ball out on time," a source said, "and as a result made his [O-line] look terrible in times they were playing fine."
Wonder who it was?
This doesn't make Doug seem much better on some things but it's obvious that Wentz is the main reason he was canned.
But wait there's more!
"Wentz dipping his eyes toward the rush early into his drop, but it had become all too apparent against the Packers.
Pederson made the call on his own, according to a source familiar with his thinking, without input from Lurie or Roseman. He said as much publicly and there was some skepticism. But after he was benched, Wentz went to the owner and GM to voice his frustration, a team source said."
Little Wentzie ran to Jeff and Howie.

eagles do host the jags next year
kinda feel bad for trevor lawrence
Thought it was the best match for Doug of all the teams with an opening. Mainly they need a guy who isn't cultural poison. Doug can do that.
I hope he does well there. At the very least, I hope he doesn't get hung up wanting to promote bad position coaches.

Will you admit he's a good coach if he takes a 3 win team to the playoffs within 2 seasons?
id have to watch every jacksonville game to see but i cant believe hes going to go from basically incompetent to even good
like qb said he may be great for the locker room and a good "leader of men" cause he is a players coach but as far as between 1 and 4 o'clock hes a buffoon....he definitely will need some great coordinators...
even on the personality side of things i think the nice guy gomer pyle shtein wears thin rather quickly...it worked in philly cause they went from chip to him so the change was super tangible and the locker room loved him but then it gets to the point where you dont dislike him i think that would be impossible for someone to do but you lose respect for him and thats almost worse
i mean nick sirrianni made the playoffs in one year a year they were supposed to tank and im not sure if hes even a good coach or not but hes certainly better than doug
btw way its so eerily similar and im sure this went into jacksonvilles thought process in hiring him as to how he followed a disaster coach in terms of the locker room in philly and now hes doing the same down there
Guy out coaches Belicheck and out scores Brady with a backup qb in the Super Bowl but he's a buffoon? Name me another coach with as an impressive win in a Super bowl...or farg it any game for that matter. Which great coordinaters did he have? Reich (lol). Schwartz can't get another d coordinator job. You obviously have a personal vendetta against the man when you can't admit winning a Super Bowl and making the playoffs 3 out of 5 seasons is considered at least "good" by any measure.
If Shad Khan thought of Doug because he followed Chip The Disaster and he correlated that to following Urban I would be shocked. It is a very valid point though - Doug can come in and handle those situations.
His success will be tied to Baalke though. So hopefully they spend wisely and smartly for him to get the team he can win with

all you need to know about doug is they interviewed him first, talked to every other coach known to man, wanted to hire leftwich but he refused because of the gm, then they didnt know what to do and fell back on doug. a very promising process.

Your first line is the main reason he gets no respect. He looks and comes off goofy, he doesn't have a mean mug look and act like a hard ass like Belicheck or Tomlin. When he was hired we all thought complete disaster...some people are just stuck in that same mindset.
I don't watch enough of other teams to make that list
abs I definitely don't study their coaching moves when I do
i dont hate doug at all, im just not going to pretend hes something hes not just because one season everything worked out

It's not a fluke season when he makes the playoffs the next two seasons...especially with a shtein ton of injuries. Year 1 he started 4-0 beating a very good Steelers team and Falcons team which made the Super Bowl. They only fell apart because LJ's suspension kicked in and they had zero depth on the o line.
peep their non nfc east record over the past 5 years...it aint good, chief. he took a good solid roster and racked up wins over bad teams. it makes for a fine life in the nfl if you can swing that.
doug is not like urban meyer or rod marianelli level awful. i never and am not insinuating that.
For a guy who made the playoffs 3 out of 5 seasons and won the Super Bowl by beating the greatest team/coach/QB in history in doing it, Doug sure gets shtein on a lot.
I'm sorry but he's a good coach and a great guy. Jacksonville is a total clusterfarg from top to bottom but they got this one right.
Yeah maybe he made the playoffs a couple times and won a super bowl, but he's no Buddy Ryan.

Lighten up, Francis. The life of a kid is sufficient for a ring but yeah, by rights it should have been here instead of KC.
What is going on with that anyway? I think I saw the Chiefs have agreed to pay for the child's health care for life? So they're admitting Britt was drinking at the Chiefs facility? And what about him...he gonna go to jail, or what?
Oh I actually forgot all about that, I was thinking of his dead kid with the drug problems that he put on the training staff when he was still in Philly.
That was my first thought too because the little girl didn't die, so when I read "the life of a kid," I went to the OD.
But no, we're talking about the other farg up son, who isn't dead, but maybe should be, and the little girl he maimed after getting tanked at work.
