Juan Castillo, new DC of your Philadelphia Eagles

[smeags]

what a difference listening to mikey miss actually asking reid real questions instead of the sack licking eskin did.

[Eagaholic]

so the eagles are interviewing jim bunting for the lb coach spot ?

Why, because they still want no-hitters at the position? Oh wait, that was Jim Bunning. But he was a really hard worker.

[Munson]

Hopefully he waves his magic Juan and fixes the LB's

The Eagles have made a habit of unnecessarily enraging their fan base, which according to Forbes magazine, are "some of the most loyal in the NFL with season-ticket renewals regularly exceeding 99%." Reid, Joe Banner and Jeffrey Lurie habitually laud this devotion on game days, but the modus operandi in between is to mislead, misinform or downright lie to them.

Mislead, misinform & downright lie - THE GOLD STANDARD

Juan love, Juan life, when it's Juan need in the night...

It seems that anyone who knows him well or has played for him, has confidence he will do well in the job. People who have never played the game at a high level and don't really know him have their doubts. This piece just reinforces my thoughts. My experience has been that people who are willing to put in the amount of work necessary to succeed, normally do succeed. Is he on an island on gamedays making all the calls? I don't know, neither do any of you or any of the media. Maybe Andy decided he will make the D calls. None of us know. Maybe Lurie is making the D calls. We don't know that either. I do know this, I, unlike many of you, will not give up on the Birds, never have, never will.

Ok, SuperFan. I'm sure the Eagles appreciate your blind loyalty.

In other words, Juan's good friends and longtime co-workers aren't trashing him. What a shocker. Go back a few years and you'll find them saying the same shtein about McDermott.

I'm sure Juan's a nice guy and that he works hard. And we have no choice but to sit back and give him a chance to prove himself. But right now you have to be nuts to say that this move is anything but baffling, highly questionable, and ultimately arrogant. It's totally unprecedented in football at this level.

I personally wouldn't give a rat's ass if they lied to me as a fan if they WON on occasion.

Fact is, though, they don't win.  They get close, they put good teams together and whatever but this fan base is farging sick of being competitive.  We need a Super Bowl win like a virgin needs to get laid.

[lurking wierdo]

Rome, what is your definition of "win"? Honestly, is any season just terrible without a SB win? I just want to know where you are coming from.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, at this point the team needs a Super Bowl to be winners. Can't believe anyone who has been a fan longer than a year or so might think otherwise.

One would be nice.   It's like the Phillies... one win pretty much made up for 30 years of failure.  Hell, I'd be happy with one before I die.  That's all I'm saying, and as FF said, I can't believe anyone who considers himself an Eagles fan would feel any different.

I can't believe that would actually need to be explained to anyone that calls themselves a fan of the Eagles. The Rangers (hockey team) suck ass but I at least got to see them win a cup since I've been alive. It'd be nice to knock the Eagles off that list.

[Sgt PSN]

You want to see the Eagles win the Stanley Cup?

[TexasEagle]

Hell I'd like to see them win a Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest if it comes with a trophy and a parade.

[ice grillin you]

wait you like the ny rangers AND the eagles?

that almost makes me wanna root against the eagles
