Sure...but a lot of Maxwell Club coach of the years also end up being AP coach of the year

[Diomedes]

And just be be clear....AP Coach of the Year is way better than Super Bowl winning coach.

AMIRITE?

[QB Eagles]

Just saying, there might be a couple tiny Eagle connections at Maxwell.

The Maxwell Football Club (originally called the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia) was established in 1935 to promote safety in the game of American football. Named in honor of the late Robert W. (Tiny) Maxwell, legendary college player, official, and sports columnist, the club was founded by his friend Bert Bell, then owner of the Philadelphia Eagles professional football team and later commissioner of the National Football League. The awards are presented during the spring of the following year.
As of 2012, the club's president is Ron Jaworski, former NFL quarterback. The club's headquarters are located in Ambler, Pennsylvania.

Awards
Earle "Greasy" Neale Award for Professional Coach of the Year, introduced in 1989

Also, gotta chuckle:

Former awards

Joseph V. Paterno Award (formerly the George Munger Award) for College Coach of the Year, introduced in 1989, discontinued in 2011

BB should and will win the AP award by a landslide.

I'm just gonna go ahead and vent my internal angst about Chip...

I farging hate that he won some meaningless coaching award and I'll bet that he's gone, back to the college ranks, after next year when his NCAA punishment is up.

That is all.

I could be entirely wrong, but I am convinced that Chip is motivated by the challenge of being successfull in the NFL. He has no Vagina in his life bossing him around. He has no kids to ignore and lead to a life a drug abuse and or suicide. This man isn't motivated by the usual things that lead to demise. I hope I'm right, because like everyone else I like being right, but more importantly because if this coach doesn't work out for the Eagles I see this team falling into the world of mediocraty for a long time. I have nothing to back this up, but I'm guessing there arent many franchises that have 3 coaches in 4 years and then find themselves in Super Bowls any time in the near future/ rant over.

Well the 49ers just did this, but yeah I doubt it's happened often.

i agree....i think he will say the nfl was a cool experience and im glad i tried it but im a college guy at heart....i still say he ends up at georgia

That was my stance at first as well. I figured he'd flake out.  But that opinion was also tied to the fact that I didn't think he'd win at this level...especially not this quickly. I thought they'd be bad in year 1, a little less bad in year 2 and then he'd bolt for college.  But if he is able to duplicate or even improve in year 2, then I gotta think he's going to give it a few years to see what he can accomplish. But if this turns out to be a 1 yr wonder and the Eagles are 6-10 next year with a middle of the pack (or worse) offense, I could see him heading back to college.

by all accounts he likes the fact that the doesn't have to travel across the country begging kids to come to school.  he said a few  times he enjoyed this December more than in college because of staying focused on football and not recruiting.  he said he loves the draft because it's 3 days and done.  i think the nfl style suits him more and i don't see him going back to college

[Diomedes]

"A college guy at heart," lol.   igy can read minds thru the teevee.

I have no idea what Kelly will do and neither does anyone else.

i was wrong this year on them so who knows....but i cant see any way they win more games next year and even matching this year would be stupendous

they had a dream schedule combined with incredibly good health...look at just the road opponents next year....its pretty bonkers...plus they got seattle and carolina at home....im going against my own rule of schedule watching in january....for example last year at green bay looked bad but then scott tolzien happened....still they are going to have to approve by leaps and bounds to get to ten wins next year imo...in fact i will be anyone right now 100 bucks they dont finish over five hundred next year

i also dont think winning or losing has a whole lot to do with him going back to college....i mean short of him going 4-12 for the next three years and getting fired...altho i do agree that a tough year for him might open his eyes about going back a little more...but mostly its going to have to do with timing...for example if texas had opened up next year i think he may have went....hes not going back to coach oklahoma st or stanford....hes only going to go for a big sec program texas or usc something like that....in fact i think he was born to be an sec coach
