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)
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

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.

PhillyPhanInDC

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.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

To be fair, they thought they had drafted Stacey Dash.
