fired by Eagles last month per Eckel (http://www.nj.com/sports/times/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1211429153245070.xml&coll=5)
Still listed on PE.com....for now (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/FrontOfficeBio.asp?front_office_id=46)
do head scouts ever get fired?...maybe they do but ive never heard of it before...they usually move up or move to other teams...and the eagles have fired two of them?
Maybe he was laying the wood to Rod Brind'Amour's wife. I hear that slut is a slut.
This is riveting stuff.
I wonder if Steuber will be brought in, he's a draft expert
That's not even a little bit funny.
You know you're in that brutal part of the football year when the day's news centers around Jason Licht and Andrew Studebaker. I can't wait until we get to the mind-numbingly dull June 1 cuts in a few days.
You think Studebaker is going to be cut?
I don't know why but that shtein cracked me up.
Licht replaced by Howie Roseman (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3419152)
The article also notes that Heckert was re-upped through 2011.
thats def a espn misprint or a cruel joke
roseman is a money guy theres no way hed replace licht
It's on PE.com
"I feel we have strengthened our personnel staff today by extending Tom's contract and by promoting Howie Roseman," said head coach Andy Reid. "Tom's leadership and work ethic has continued to impress me over the years. Tom has also done a great job of nurturing and incorporating Howie's talent into the personnel side of the organization. Howie has demonstrated a sharp eye for talent evaluation along with a knack for creative draft and free agent strategies. Both Tom and I feel Howie will be an excellent addition to the Philadelphia Eagles personnel staff."
thats downright frightening.....roseman was banners right hand man and rumored sucessor...hes never done any player evaluation whatsoever...what the farg is going on over at novacare
this better be a name only position to maybe caress this douchebags ego and make him feel like a football guy
looks like the entire front office needs tomorrow off for shabbat.
This is indefensible.
i cant stop thinking about it...its really mind boggling if its true
It's definitely true. It makes complete sense with the M.O. of this front office.
I should go get an accounting degree so that I can get into player evaluation in the NFL.
Seriously, can we start a grass roots campaign to have Howie replaced with Havas?
no i mean if its true that hes really gonna be the lead scout...they can give him any title they want but until hes actually out there travelling the country watching film and evaluating potential draft picks i wont believe it
actually im not sure ill ever believe this one
i know someone who is interning with the eagles ticket office this summer. ill get her on it. you can count on me, sir.
Believe it. Let's just hope they win the big one before he actually has to make any recommendations.

In other front office Jew news, the Jets hired away Scott Cohen. (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3419743) Word on the street is that the new director of pro personnel is going to be Andy Reid's personal accountant.
I thought that was Banner's job too.
Sandusky Named Director Of Pro Personnel
The Eagles announced on Tuesday that they have named Jon Sandusky director of pro personnel and Louis Riddick pro scout.
Sandusky, formerly a pro scout with the Eagles, is in his eighth season with the team. In his new role, the 31-year-old Sandusky will manage the pro scouting department evaluating players among the professional ranks, advance scouting of upcoming opponents and preparing the club for acquisitions through free agency and the waiver wire. In addition, he also assists in the cross check of college players prior to the draft. A native of State College, PA, Sandusky was a safety and special teams player for Penn State from 1996-99. His father, Jerry, is the legendary Penn State defensive coordinator.
A native of Quakertown, PA, Riddick joins the Eagles after a seven-year stint with the Washington taterskins, serving the last three seasons as their director of pro personnel. He joined the taterskins as a pro scout in 2001. In his new role, Riddick will be responsible for evaluating players in the professional ranks, advance scouting of upcoming opponents and preparing the team for acquisitions through free agency and the waiver wire. He will also contribute to the process of scouting players for the draft.
Prior to working for the taterskins, Riddick enjoyed a seven-year career in the NFL as a safety, amassing 172 tackles and two sacks. He joined the league as a ninth-round selection of San Francisco in 1991 and went on to play for Atlanta, Cleveland and Oakland, where he finished his playing career in 1998. Riddick was an All-America selection at Pennridge High School before playing collegiately at Pittsburgh, where he earned All-Big East honors on the field and academic All-America honors for his work in the classroom.
my cousins played football with riddick
He played at Pitt while his dad was at PSU.
Now he's going from the Skins to the Eagles.
Sounds like a goddamned turncoat to me. I don't trust him.
You're talking about two different guys.
Fine. I don't trust either of them. They're scum.
I trust Sandusky implicitly. It's the guy who circle-jerked with SunMo's cousins that I don't trust.
Riddicks seems like a fine choice, he probably picked up alot from his playing days. It doesnt't look like he amassed any int's while he played but according to that report he did amass those two sacks, so that's pretty good.
howie
roseman
Licht hired by the Cards (http://www.azcardinals.com/news/detail.php?PRKey=2399)

Because Georgia's head coach is Mark Richt, pronounced "ricked"?
