Whatever it was they had been thinking, they obviously botched severely. I think Castillo was over rated as an offensive coach as it was. WTF? Getting Mudd was a good move though, as long as they don't want to use a lot of zone blocking (though Shady would probably be good on those stretch plays). They must be willing to shell out the bucks or offer real good benefits to get guys like him and Washburn on lateral moves.

So you're o line was horrendous and you get rid of the oline coach that has been there for over a decade to promote him to defense?

Go farg your mother Reid.

On the plus side, next year's defensive line will average 6'3, 330lbs.

Jamar Chaney says that Castillo is a hard-working guy, and that's about all he knows about the move. Sounds like excitement to me!

Reid is the smartest guy in the room again!

Eagles Live! presented by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board! (not kidding)

Apparently the Eagles are switching from a 4-3 defense to the I formation.

Darryl Tapp can't stop laughing. He knows the Eagles just went full retard.

they waited all this time to do this, why the hell didn't they just wait until after the super bowl and at least interview the guys that were possible candidates from Green Bay or Pittsburgh?

~~because the whole thing was a joke from the beginning...in everything theyve done having to do with any of their coaches this offseason....and ff scolded me for calling them an embarrassment~~

edit: apology accepted

Is it just me or does this move smell more like Howie Banner than it does Reid? Because over the years, Reid's always put together pretty good coaching staffs. In 12 years, the only real bad hires that come to mind are Rory and McDermott and he's sprouting his own little coaching tree around the league so I honestly can't see him having control over this move.

The entire PC he kept saying "I'm a defensive coach who's been coaching offense this whole time, the defensive players know me as a defensive coach"

Then you read stuff like this:

Omar Gaither via Jeff McLane: I didn't know Juan knew defense.

Asante Samuel, also via Jeff McLane: The offensive line coach?

Darryl Tapp via Jonathan Tamari: That's shocking.

Well, they certainly upgraded both line coach positions. Maybe Washburn will coach up Daniel TeO so much that it will make Castillo look like a genius DC.

General_Failure · February 02, 2011, 07:25:06 PM

As bad as the defense was with giving up TDs, Castillo will look like a genius unless they're somehow even worse than that.
