Eagles fire McDermott

Lets be honest, none of us or the media has any idea who they're going to hire.

I don't know if Seth can coach or not. I do know he could play the position 20 years ago. If that translates into an ability now to coach, then bring him in, at least as an apprentice. Hell, the linebackers they have are so awful it really couldn't hurt for them to see a guy who could actually play the game.

Other than igy and mds - who trot out contrarian points if view regularly - I'm surprised that so many are opposed to this. What is the worst that happens? That he sucks? Ok like it would be the first time they had a zesty coach on the team.

Give him a shot as an intern ala Duce.

who said they would be opposed to making him an intern?...id hire god damn reese as an intern and not think twice about it

i do have a problem with taking him on in "almost any capacity"

and no he doesnt have as good a chance as anyone at being a good coach...for example jim washburn has a better chance at being a good OL coach than seth does at being a good lb coach...i will agree that he has as good a chance as anyone else who has never coached a single day of football in their lives to become a good coach...but thats a pretty big pool of people....lets agree that on the potential good coach meter he falls somewhere ahead of reggie white and me and on the same level as any other ex nfl player EVER... i mean christ lets bring frank lemaster up in this bitch while we are at it

bottom ine you want him because it would make you feel good to hire an ex buddy guy...and on that level im all IN...but above and beyond that there is literally nothing else to see here

No, but he is University of Michigan head coach Brady Hoke's older brother.

I have no interest in Joyner as a coach (and I'm not exactly sure why anyone would have such interest, other than nostalgia), ~~but there might be a spot on the 54-man roster for him~~.

That's what I was getting at.

Damn, it's Joe Pesci. He'd probably do a good job wit da yutes.

Speaking of Joyner, was he not part of the original NFL Network studio crew? I recall he was all into the media thing while he was playing for the birds. He was actually a camera man during some Sixer games.
