This entire thing is really making my head explode

[Drunkmasterflex]

I really think that is every ones reaction.  I am still in shock.  Why wait so fn long to name him DC?

It's amazing that all of you are smarter than Reid. Aside from McDermott, he has been pretty spot on with hiring coaches. I have seen old threads where everyone bashed the hiring of Marty M. The fact is, Reid is no dope. He could care less what the media says and what the fans think. I seem to remember, most of the fan base was against bringing in Vick. Smartest guy in the room? Maybe you are right.

[/quote]IGY, the GM's job on this team[ is to get the players Andy tells him to get. He is not a talent evaluator. Just a bean counter.

My first reaction when I saw the news alert on my phone was "the OL coach? As DC? Joke alert by Action News?" and then the texts started rolling in.

Disbelief.

Havas - what's the deal on the Akers interview?

The move was apparently contingent on them getting Mudd, and it's possible that the Mudd thing didn't even start evolving until they had Washburn on board.

so the hiring of their DC was contingent on getting an offensive line coach whos been out of the league for over a year....i know thats the first time thats ever happened

Sometimes, in business, you don't copy the competition, you think out of the box.

At this point I'm more upset about Castillo being another guy from within the Eagles system than I am about him being an offensive coach. I wanted that defense blown the farg up.

I didn't read all five pages but I glean this is NOT a joke. I'm seriously considering not paying any attention to Eagles football until Reid is gone. There is no justification for a move like this. It's not like the Oline was a strength of the team last year. Good grief this nightmare with the Eagles will never end.

Caplan was on with Tom Byrne on 97.5 the Fanatic tonight: http://www.975thefanatic.com/teams/eagles/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10200082

He's saying Caldwell will most likely get the LB coaches job with Zordich getting the DB coaches job. He's also saying this move is 100% Reid. Also says the rest of the league is as shocked as we are.

It seems like Reid was hinting at that, he kept saying "we have some young guys coaching here that we need to look at" when asked about those jobs. Then again maybe he's going to have Duce coach the LBs.
