Eagles | Team expected to interview Saunders
Thu, 5 Jan 2006 20:47:20 -0800

Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, reports Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Al Saunders is expected to interview with the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend.

I don't know why the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel would have the inside on what the Eagles will be doing, but there you have it. Also Bob Brookover said don't expect the Eagles to hire anyone but Marty. I don't know if that is just his opinion or what he heard from someone in the organization. I hope it's Saunders, because it sure doesn't sound like it will be Mooch and I don't like Sherman or Marty.

They were talking about it because they were talking about Packer's coaching candidates. Here is a longer take--by the way, they think that Childress will hire Darrell Bevell, who was the Packers' QB coach either in the same capacity or as OC.

Also, it doesn't appear Sherman is interested in replacing Childress in Philadelphia, where he would be reunited with close friend Andy Reid. Sherman told WTMJ radio Thursday that he was interested in returning to football only as a head coach. The Eagles are expected to interview Kansas City offensive coordinator Al Saunders this weekend

I'm slightly turned on by Al interviewing here...

im glad shermans not interested in coaching here.   we already have someone who can call a vanilla game.

al however, interests me.  kc doesn't have the best receivers, has a great TE, and a good rb who can catch out of the back field.  granted LJ is hardly a great TE and our receivers aren't SB caliber but at least its somewhat comparable to their offense.  plus he can teach reid what a run game is.

I would be extremely happy if Reid hired Saunders.  Especially if he let him call the plays.

A farging men.

Oh, god. Please let this be true.

GET SAUNDERS!!

[MadMarchHare]

Pollyanna! Pollyanna!

You'd have to think that the Eagles would have to offer him that to get him to even consider this job, since he's one of the top names out there for some of the head coaching vacancies...

...and we pray.

The idea of Saunders calling plays gives me a football rager the likes of haven't been seen in almost a year. I feel like a new man.

Anyone think if Saunders were brought in would seriously increase the odds of the Eagles getting a big, bad back? Say......um......LenDale White?

Since I'd LOVE for the Eagles to snatch up Saunders... I can pretty much say that we won't get him.

well I guess we will either find that Reid really is interested in getting some fresh ideas on the offense or if this is just a cosmetic BS interview where they will say Morninwheg is the best option for OC and just promote him.  boo.

Exactly.  I hope whoever we hire actually gets some playcalling reponsibilities.  all of them.

If they interview Saunders and say that Morninwheg is the best option, they are absolutely, without a doubt, full of shtein.
