I would put McDaniels on this list also

They have to find a way to talk Reich into the job. We’ve all known he’s the best answer under these circumstances.

I will caution one thing with Reich.

IMO great with play design... but Doug actually called the plays. Doug IMO just a great feel in the moment of what to call. To me, that was more of the issue this past year.

Reports are coming out that Daboll and Mcdaniels are at the top of our list for the OC job and that we have already reached out to them for what that is worth

Didn’t Reich call plays in LA for the chargers and then for the Colts did alright as a play caller in own right not a great HC though…. Wouldn’t be my top pick but makes sense since there is a connection already and no risk of him leaving for another Hc job

more and more I think about it Daboll makes a ton of sense for us. He has coached Hurts before way back in college but still has an idea of his strengths and weaknesses, obviously coached Saquon…. Successful OC/play caller at the NFL level in buffalo and likely won’t get a HC offer again for a couple seasons if he produces.

And bad news for us

LMFAO. yes, fire the hc that just won the SB. JFC you are dense. 🤣

We didn’t and just missed our chance to repeat. Are we going to miss another chance to repeat over this? Sounds fairly likely. Then have the first season breaking in the new coach. That’s three years wasting in the team’s potential dynasty window. For me : that’s dense!

Reich called the plays on Indy. Was huge with game planning and adjustments also. Well we obviously know he was all the brains with X and Os in Indy…Siri was his OC.

Because that’s such a crucial element to coaching hires. If not hiring that O mind it needs to be built into the equation.

again, you don't fire the head coach of the defending champs after another division title and playoff berth. that's ratarded.

thankfully jeff and howie run the team and not you.

Why this won’t be referred to as The Eagles Dynasty. Gotta have the balls to make the tough decisions. Not a job for you.

name one hc that ever got fired under those circumstances.

the eagles wouldn't have 1 sb let alone two with a person making dummie decisions like you want to.

big balls don't win sb's, making smart decisions does, you dummie.

"A league source also just told me initial talks with Eagles offensive coordinator candidates/ 'their camps' have gone well, adding that the feedback has been on wanting to have questions assuaged on 'complete autonomy' over the offense--similar to what Kellen Moore enjoyed when he was with Philly. Those concerns were met with responses insuring an elite candidate should not anticipate 'any interference,' the source said."

So if Kellen Moore had complete autonomy over the offense begs the question as to why the offense looks eerily similar to every other year…. Even pass happy Moore couldn’t get Hurts going as a passer we already see Shough passing well in NO with a far less talented team

So we repeated and I missed it? Or did we waste the best opportunity with unqualified O coaching?

what HC ever got fired in the same scenario?

i'll ask you this question after every post of yours until you either answer or admit your point was stupid to begin with.

Good luck, he doesn't answer questions, ask GB and Joe

oh i know, i have a bad habit of F'ng with the stupid when im bored.

The first to do something doesn’t mean it’s wrong. In fact we just witnessed exactly how a HC won a SB then how the power to hold our franchise hostage…not just promoting Patullo and running his O….but sticking with him the entire time.

All when we know the real problem is the weakest O system and coach that created it.

I'm with Ham, been wanting Siri gone for a long time. His conservative bs, the sideline antics, really don't know what he brings to the team. With HC candidates out there, he may be preventing a good OC from coming here. Sounds like he's getting somewhat neutered if we're offering complete control of the O, w/o interference.

Oh no doubts. Already pulled the trick of telling Moore he had complete autonomy….yet Siri walked that back super quick. So much so Moore jumped ship for a terrible job opportunity.

So we lost credibility about all that.
