Will be shocked if he isn't the new OC.

What will he do if the ban the tush push? Sell out and stare down Goedert? 

he will go back to calling his own umber with the QB draw over and over again that defenses know to expect now.

I like panthers DC , they were top 5 i believe

Rivera and Reich may actually be even worse, so I expect that’s what they will do

Did we lose our resident Cowboys fan and RAS specialist?

All this talk of firing Sirianni had him keyed up for a McCarthy firing.  He's likely back on the DAL board losing his crap.

Bo Wulf said something I totally agree with. Hiring JBC to be the OC would be a major red flag. Because it would indicate Sirianni doesn't think there's anything wrong with his offense and it was the execution that's the problem, not the creativity or scheme. And by hiring JBC he'd essentially be tripling down on this stance.

Sirianni's problem all year was how stubborn he was with the offense and after that collapse he's still not willing to concede the offense had issues, that's a real concern.

Eh, I don't necessarily agree with Bo. JBC has a pretty impressive resume and I doubt he won't know how to help with blitz pick up or ignore the run.

If the reports were true that they wanted to fire Frank reich after the first year with Doug, I’m not so sure why they’d have the belief that Frank Reich is just going to re-capture 2017 after seeing what happens in Indy and Carolina. That said I’d rather have him than Jim Bob Cooter.

First off I wouldn’t have talked to the defense the last 7 weeks either cause that was problem No.1 especially that Dallas game then Seattle. Total scrub. 

You can't seriously be blaming the defense for a loss where they only gave up 20 points and the offense couldn't do jack Fing ish all game. Hurts was 17/31 for 143 yards, no TDs and 2 INTs and you're saying the defense was the problem in that game because of the last drive?

No creativity with the FO. Go get a damn innovative mind.

The innovative mind has to want to come here.  With the current Eagles D, why bother?  An innovative DC will require assurances of improving the LB and DB talent.  Can't cover NFL WRs with 5 undrafted free agents.

QB1 mechanics blew deek against TB. They really did for most of the year but the last 2 games of the season against teams you knew were going to blitz, he looked like hot trash

And I hate when people discount the good and only take into account the bad.

Wink has had some productive years, teams that succeed despite alot of injuries are the exception not the rule.

Having said that the eagles need a new philosophy on defense, the rush the same 4 guys and drop 7 into zone every play obviously isnt working, at least for the eagles.

Lets assume winks defensive scheme fails, id rather see the defense going balls to the wall every play and lose rather than see them play patty cake all game and lose anyway.

Been a long time since a philly D dictated anything to an O.

If lowie are ready to change philosophy on D to an attacking D instead of a Passive one then Wink fits that mold, if they want to continue what their analytic department says then theyll just hire another passive yes man to run their play not to lose chicken crap D.

Here’s your problem he had a stack defense for 3 years. You’re not gonna have that here. He’s showed for 3 consecutive years when he played with lesser talent he cant get the most out of it. Are the Eagles gonna have the ravens talent on defense they had those three years? No. so basically he’s Gannon who struggled with lesser talent and exceeded when given all the talent in the world.  That’s a problem whether you want to discount it or not.

also, just because you’re good at something 4 years ago, doesn’t mean you are gonna recapture it 4 years later. It’s been four years since the last time he had a top defense. Meaning the league might have caught up to him. Meaning he’s not adaptive to what he does to get the most out of his players. Also a problem. It’s been 3 years of bad defenses. This isn’t a 1 year issue. His personnel with the giants is likely close to what he’s gonna get here so what made you think watching the giants defense the past two years is going to bring the most out of a depleted defense here? Not looking good on that aspect

reich was great here 6 years ago as the OC. It’s been 6 years since he’s shown anything. So the likelihood he recaptures it after years isn’t likely. So i should go off what he did back in 2017 instead of more recently what he’s shown? Yeah same with wink. Recently he hasn’t been anywhere close to that. So unless howie is stacking the defense like he had 4-6 years ago with the ravens it’s gonna be a problem cause his end of the ravens tenure and time with the giants showed he didn’t do very well with inferior talent 

If your reason is well they changed philosophy so even if it fails at least they tried better than what they have been doing, that’s a BS logic. You want a defense that maximizes their personnel and a DC that can play to the strengths of his defensive guys and is adaptable. I guarantee if the eagles are getting destroyed when he blitzes people aren’t going to be like "well at least we aren’t playing patty cake anymore.” Let me point out the eagles went to McDermott. Who did a lot of the same stuff Jim Johnson did (clearly not as seasoned then). The eagles and fans were still angry when the defense wasn’t good enough even though he employed that style. 

What's innovative about having an option or two against an obvious blitz?  

Just give me someone who knows what the hell they're doing please 

 

If you want an innovator, look at the defense. You'd have to be a damn genius to work with the garbage we have in our back 7.

Yeah that's it, I've heard that this guy Chip Kelly is the most innovative mind out there. Wonder what he is doing?

I think he was frustrated getting blitzed every play and his coaches having zero answers other than run around and make something happen...

They've already tried that route. Do you honestly think they would try that again after what had happened? Howie's V would dry up and would go into hiding

Wasn’t it 7 straight tds drives allowed with a carry over into the next week?

It should have been a major red flag that Sirianni's mentor flopped so badly at his last two stops.  It's also not re-assuring that he (Sirianni) handled it like a child when the Colts fired him.  His arrogance was charming when he was winning but in retrospect might signal a lack of reflection and humility that is necessary to succeed long-term in this league.

Long story short, my fear is that Sirianni is still in his young and indestructible phase and that he's not going to change without taking a hard look in the mirror.  Every move that enables him at this point (like letting him fire both coordinators and still keep his job) is only going to feed his hero complex and prolong a necessary reset.

I agree Tampa was bad

I can live with Reich as senior assistant, but not OC.

 That's why Rivera fits, he dealt with Snyder for years, he'll go along, to get along.  Plus Nick going into a lame duck season won't bother him either.   Nick's job security, or lack thereof may keep some candidates away.  I don't see Martindale as a good fit either, if he doesn't mind arguing with coaches, imagine what he'll tell Howie when Howie shows up to meetings, plus practices and starts yelling at a player, lol.  Wink would stuff him in a garbage can.  

So whats the downside?
