January 17, 20242 yr How does that inept childish Intern still have his job? Fire the Intern already.

His resume is outstanding being a NFL QB, Stanford coach, SF coach, Michigan coach. He know offense and can identify top notch defensive coordinators. Only problem is that he probably is too Alpha to work for Lurie. If the rumors of FO interference are true, do you really think Harbaugh would actually come here? I mean, he left San Francisco for that very same reason, which was the power hierarchy. There's no way he comes here.

It's more like NIck has to buy whatever Lurie is selling. If Nick is OK with having no say so again, and taking responsibility for the coordinators he'll be assigned, then he'll be kept. If not, he'll be fired just like Dougie P.
January 17, 20242 yr On one hand, I'll be surprised if Lurie fires him, on the other hand, I wouldn't be shocked. Either way, I kind of thought we'd know something by now.

It comes back to the HC though, because this team doesn’t believe in the HC. If he’s there as just some weak figurehead this team will fall apart quickly.

IMO, I think Nick should quit if the rumors are true. Then we can get a new figurehead and watch it all unfold again. Maybe then fans will see that the FO is the problem.
January 17, 20242 yr I mean, he failed as play caller, failed as a creative offensive mind, failed to keep the team motivated and invested. What more is there left? The team doesn't want to play for him and he doesn't have answers for any of the problems. There is no where for him to go but out the door. I felt like we squandered the super bowl last year and totally wasted a very talented roster and another chance this year.
January 17, 20242 yr "Lane Johnson says Eagles 'didn't do s---' to address struggles prior to playoff loss: 'Embarrassing' Johnson also ripped his teammates, saying he was not happy with how some acted during hard times.” https://thelibertyline.com/2024/01/17/lane-johnson-rips-eagles-teammates/amp/ The thing is that’s basically how the coach acts. They’re just following the leader.

I’m hoping they will recognize that they need an actual coach this time, but I know it’s likely going to be another long drawn out process where they end up with some obscure name nobody has heard of again. I hope they don’t do it this way, because this group needs a real leader as a HC. Howie’s going nowhere. We all know it, but maybe a decent HC can find a way to coexist and not just be a flunky.

Define actual coach this time. So Dougie and the coordinators weren't actual coaches when they won the super bowl? That obscure nobody got us our only SB, and the other nobody took us to a SB that we probably win if the field isn't awful. Nick has the ability to change things when things aren't working. We saw him hand things over to Steichen, so I know he's not incompetent. It's why I think he got his orders and was forced to stick to what wasn't working. But cool, let's hire a decent HC who decides he doesn't want to be a flunky and ends up getting fired anyway.
January 17, 20242 yr 4 minutes ago, Procus said: He was fired from Frisco. He didn't "leave" I view it as leaving in that scenario, as you're essentially forcing your way out by getting fired. Doug also did it when he wouldn't agree to Lurie's demands. No HC coach is going to outright quit, so they'll just force the owners hand and leave by firing.
January 17, 20242 yr Of this year's playoff team Head Coaches, previously not a Head Coach. 4 defensive background, 6 offensive background Ravens Harbaugh: ST Coordinator, DBs Position coach Bills McDermott: Defensive Coordinator Texans Ryans: Defensive Coordinator Steelers Tomlin: Defensive Coordinator 49ers Shanahan: Offensive Coordinator Dolphins McDaniel: Offensive Coordinator Browns Stefanski: Offensive Coordinator Lions Campbell: Asst HC & TE Position Coach Rams McVay: Offensive Coordinator Packers LaFleur: Offensive Coordinator Previously a Head Coach: 2 offensive background, 1 defensive background Chiefs Reid: Head Coach Cowboys McCarthy: Head Coach Bucs Bowles: Head Coach You have a better shot hiring a coach who has never been a head coach. While most people want a coach with offensive background, a defensive background can work as well with a good OC. It can work to hire a former head coach, but no HC has ever won a SB with 2 teams so you'd be hoping to break NFL history.

I agree with this viewpoint......I think they are running this team entirely on analytics.....
January 17, 20242 yr Why hasn’t he been fired yet??? And searching for ALL NEW coaches?? Nick Failed to motivate the team completely. Damn they had a chance at first place against crap teams and couldn’t get inspired enough to beat them

But hey if Sirianni was the guy then why did it take so long to hire him? They went through so many interviews to get to Sirianni. It takes them forever to make moves. I’ll add for as much success as they have had since Reid their coaches have been like a carousel through this place. If Doug were so great in their eyes he’d still be here. These coaches that they’re hiring seem to have a very short shelf life. They’re burning out way too quickly.

Did I get something wrong here? Isn't Lurie's son the head of that particular department? You said you think they're running things entirely on analytics, now you're saying they've changed nothing despite it not working. So...wouldn't analytics tell them it's not working? There have been so many videos and breakdowns online this year showing awful mistakes the Eagles are making that include stats that show where they're failing. So it's hard to reconcile this idea that they are driven by analytics...if that were the case then why wouldn't the analytics drive them to call plays to Hurts strengths? To dial up plays to adjust to the blitz? To throw shorter passes in slants and the middle of the field? To bench Bradberry since teams target him and have more success throwing to who he's covering than others? There are analytics that show what the Eagles are doing wrong and should be done differently, so how are they being run by analytics? I think they utilize analytics for things like going for it on 4th down and such. But offensively it seems they're ignoring analytics (like Hurts success throwing in the middle of the field) and just expecting Hurts to chuck it to the playmakers and they'll make a play.
