Eagles fire McDermott

[rjs246]

Can we all just agree that I'm right and move on?

The players suck, the scheme (and player requirements for said scheme) is outdated and the only dude who ever ran it correctly is dead. Hit reset. Done. Close thread. Kill self. Eat shtein. Die.

Gin?

[rjs246]

Head cold, whiskey and cough syrup. All of which is preferable to gin.

I'm pretty heartbroken that you have me on ignore.

Trotter said on WIP that he spoke to one of the defensive players Asante Samuel after McDermott's firing and said that he was the worst DC he has ever played for.

lol....beat me to it

Know who should get a look but won't because there's no way Reid can co-exist with him is Kevin Greene who is currently the Packers LB coach.

Did anyone else see this tidbit from Mortensen:

When McDermott was informed of his surprising dismissal just days after getting a vote of confidence, coach Andy Reid told the 36-year-old that the specter of filling the legendary shoes of Jim Johnson in a sports-heavy city such as Philadelphia was a contributing factor.

lol at Reid trotting out JJ's corpse as an excuse to fire a bad DC.

To be honest I don't even remember putting you on ignore. However, I intend to leave you there until I inexplicably decide to change my mind. It's how I do things.

I agree with it though. At least somewhat.

He was thrust into a difficult position to take over a defense run by a defensive genius under difficult circumstances. He was compared to JJ because the Eagles defense was all Jim Johnson and his crazy blitzes or whatever he cooked up.

He tried to put his twist on it and farged it all up. He did not know how or when to use what he had as personnel. He didnt know what to call or when to call it. And he never adjusted. The goddamn bubble and slip screens against the Cowboys last year will haunt me. They made no adjustments ever.

He was in over his head, his schemes sucked and he was always compared to his predecessor.

[ice grillin you]

funny how many people were calling for the defensive genius' head before he croaked

and spare me the difficult position he was in...hes a farging coordinator in the nfl...he wasnt following bear bryant at alabama or vince lombardi at green bay

Lets pay our respect to those who have worked so hard for us, believed in us when no one did, fought for us through n through ie Sean Mcderm

whatever

and Eskin just pointed out that Mora Jr has the same agent as Andy and Holmgren, so I guess this will be a done deal by Wednesday

the banner inc power structure garners strength by the hour and its comical to imagine a sean mcdermott versus it...it could be sean mcdermott himself getting the job in the first place...or howie somehow becoming a GM...or it could be an agent connection getting jim mora in here...whatever the case it runs the gamet from both ends of the spectrum and is pretty much as sickening as you can get

and you gotta love the conflicting i love you message from moises and the worst ever defensive coordinator message from assante

one guy shouldnt be in the nfl and loves the man who gave him a gift job and the other wouldnt listen to buddy ryan much less some upstart punk from lasalle high and hated the man

[charlie]

nevermind

Almost as sickening as your overuse of cliches there, buddy.

I don't recall Mora being anything special as a D coordinator for Mariucci but he was a hack of a head coach. I don't know that hiring him would be anything mire than a lateral move if the quality if players stays the same. Especially with last years first and second rounders coming off season ending injuries.
