Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

[General_Failure]

After years of Andy Reid giving them nothing to work with of course they're going to latch on to an idiot that can't keep his mouth shut. Imagine that print isn't a dead medium and that newspapers will still be around in 20 years, and head trauma hasn't killed the game. Any of these guys who haven't died of heart attacks by then will be telling the younger reporters twice a day about the guy who just didn't give a farg but couldn't ever stop putting his foot in his mouth.

It's never Chip's fault. Everyone knows this. He's gone and is San Fran's problem now.  Philly writers need to quit jocking him. 

And I could give 2 shteins how eloquent Pederson is behind the mic. Put a good team on the field, try to farg up less than you succeed.  Don't really care much about anything else.

cant have it both ways....chip was infinitely more qualified than pederson to be an nfl head coach yet you hated him from the get go....but pederson now gets the benefit of the doubt?

No way in hell was Chip any more qualified than Pederson, much less infinitely more qualified. If anything, Pederson is more qualified in 2016 than Chip was at the time he was hired.Pederson's HC history is only at the HS level, but he's played in the NFL and he's coached in the NFL. So I'll definitely take that over someone whose only NFL experience prior to coaching the Eagles was having occassional conversations with the hoodie, Carroll, and Gruden.

NFL experience aside, Kelly also rubbed me the wrong way during the interview process.  First he was playing hard to get and then right around the time that Oregon was being investigated for recruiting violations, here comes Chippy ready to sign a contract. Farg that dude.

Pederson is Pederson. He's boring. He's a Reid disciple. He's most likely not going to work out. I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt at all.  But I'm also not going to blast him because he gives terrible interviews with the media. It's irrelevant.

Suggesting Kelly was more qualified than Pederson is just IGY being drunk IGY.

Playing in the NFL qualifies you to coach an NFL team as much as going to 4th grade qualifies you to be a 4th grade teacher.

Show me a teacher that hasn't gone through the 4th grade.

I don't see any relationship, pro or con, between playing in the NFL and coaching. Belichick, Walsh, and Lombardi seem to have done okay.

Sometimes you hear players talk about new coaches by saying shtein I like "I respect him because he played the game, he's been there." Players are idiots. A ton of terrible coaches have played the game. A good coach commands respect without having to fall back on the days he rode the bench behind Brett Favre.

There's a very short list of NFL head coaches who won a Super Bowl and had absolutely no prior NFL experience in any capacity...not as a player, scout, coach, exective, water boy. 

Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer.  That's the list. And Switzer kind of doesn't even count because he took over Jimmy's team.

After those 2, you'd be hard pressed to find even a moderately successful head coach who never spent a day in the NFL prior to getting that job.  Hell, Chip might be the 3rd most "successful" guy to ever make that leap.  Most have been colossal failures.

Obviously having NFL experience doesn't guarantee success, but not having NFL experience is practically an iron clad guarantee for failure.

Sorry, I thought you listed playing in the NFL as part of what makes Pederson qualified. Didn't realize you meant for me to totally ignore that part and focus only on the other thing you listed.

[Sgt PSN]

Focus on the entire statement, not just one part or the other. I expect that from some people here, but you're better than that.

[Rome]

Pederson might be the worst coach in NFL history or the best or somewhere in the middle, lower middle, upper middle or somewhere higher or lower than the lower middle or upper middle.

[General_Failure]

At least he's not Chip, who wasn't Andy Reid, but Doug probably is Andy Reid so farg it.
