Juan Castillo, new DC of your Philadelphia Eagles

[Eagaholic]

I'm simply saying that even if Castillo has it in him to become a good DC, he would still need another 2 or 3 more years to learn everything he needs to get proficient at it. Therefore it doesn't make any sense for the team to keep him at DC because that's too long to wait for him to come around. The goal is to win the SB and he won't be at that level even with another year of seasoning and 23 hour days.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Disagree completely. If he's going to be any good, he shouldn't need another 2-3 years to get there.

I have no idea how you can come to a conclusion like that. An OLine coach with absolutely no college or NFL defensive experience at any position is supposed to come in and get the DC down pat in his first year or two, and if he doesn't by then he has no chance? That's just silly.

Mort saying that Spagnuolo and Devany are out in STL.

Andy and Jeff better be on the phone now.

He may not have defense experience (except for this one year) in the NFL, but he def. has experience countering NFL defenses so don't act like he's Jose off the Home Depot corner.  They have a plan.

[General_Failure]

It isn't a good plan, but they have one.

[Diomedes]

And I'm on board.  Go plan!

Make a plan, run errands, profit!

[QB Eagles]

If they do end up getting rid of Castillo and Spags refuses to work on the same team as Washburn, maybe they should give this Jose guy a call.

[Don Ho]

Are Dallas fans crucifying Fat Boy Ryan?  That defense gets worse every week.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Its hilarious to watch Terence Newman get burned in the air and on the ground. When dudes named Bear Pascoe and Hynoski are leaping over you - time to realize you ain't got it any more.

[General_Failure]

Bear Pascoe and Hynoski sounds like a law firm of lumberjacks.

you dont learn how to do something in the nfl...the learning is done for years sometimes decades at the lower levels of the sport and you work your way up...then perhaps you adjust to the nfl game....but you dont start out at the professional level

Not sure what you mean.

that doesnt surprise me at all

It's just like the business world.....you don't walk right into a company with no prior experience and get hired as a manager.  You start at the bottom and work your way up.  Because Castillo has spent so much time around football, I'm sure he could bypass the high school level of d coordinating and could probably start out at some smaller D-1 school or something.  But hiring him to be a defensive coordinator in the NFL is like Microsoft hiring IGY to write software.
