I would be a horrible HC because despite the huge paycheck I'm starting McKee and making Hurts ride pine. Let him sit and stew and decide if he wants to play QB or not. The longer he sits,the less he would be worth to any other team. If I have "full autonomy" and that stands,then that's what I would do. I cannot afford for my team to suffer because my QB is useless and mediocre and no longer has the will to win and put himself out there. That's why I would be a horrible HC, but I believe that's what it's going to take. Either Hurts WAKES UP or he is QB2 in my book. It's my belief(as you know) that Hurts is the issue with this team(AJ too), so I need a QB and a WR1 that are hungry and on the same page. I know this won't happen, but that's what I would do. Bash me all you want,but my opinion won't change. Hurts got what he wanted and now he's DONE and I am ready to move on if it was up to me(but it's not)

BTW I would love to get Allar(homer) in at QB in the draft. Let Hurts know he is walking a very THIN line. Finding a kid to replace AJ will not be easy. My hope is AJ can mend his ways. in the '27 draft is the kid from OSU who fits the bill perfectly. Meantime I would still draft one to maybe replace Dotson. But the slot requires the QB's attention and Hurts doesn't look there. Maybe Darius fills in there and I know Hurts liked Wilson until he went down. We need O line(Becton would help) and young guys who can take the reins there soon(RG,RT BU's) CB seems like a must have on Fangios list, so I see one going early next draft. TE is a big need also. I see a few in the draft(very few) who fit what we do, but I see no outstanding ones(maybe in time but we need to get them here) Goedert needs to stay a few more years. Get that done Howie. If the new OC likes receiving TE's there are those the draft, but historically we like blockers and those are no longer common coming out of college. Going to be an interesting game of chess for us

I was ready to start McKee after the loss to the Bears and the unbearable lack of production from the O in the 2nd half.

IDK IMO McKee would fix AJ's issues. AJ needs a reason to play and Hurts isn't it for him. Maybe McKee reignites the fire in AJ? I love the Bark/Tank combo, but like you said if we can't get them to level 2 they will continue to suffer. Despite sloppily winning the NFCE this last year, then dropping to the beat up 9ers just seems like wasted talent. I want all those skill guys to shine. Maybe Hurts needs to sit as I said. Not going to happen,but I don't see us improving with him at the helm. Take your lumps, call it a year of retooling and get it done and don't look back.

You’re putting on the QB. So it’s on you to prove he’s had a better one.

Ryan Tannehill... 😆 🤣 😂

But first we need an OC and nobody wants that job LOL.

After watching the Seattle game, the morning after they win the SB, give Klint Kubiak a call, offer him our HC position. Smart, ballsy calls, creative routes.

I got the Hawks beating the Pats also. They look solid like we did in '24. Love Smith Njigba. He's only going to get better. Seems Darold has found a home after being kicked out of 5 others. Who figured Darnold and Maye would be in the SB? I didn't

Really have to wonder what is scaring off OC candidates. Is it Siri? Hurts? FO?

Siri- find this one odd just because I don’t think the FO would keep him if he was the issue getting coaches in here.

Hurts- lots of rumors regarding Hurts from his struggles with reading D, him not wanting to run complex O forcing OC to simplify things, and now that he doesn’t want to use his legs. And this doesn’t even bring up his limitations as a passer to begin with.

FO- for better or worse this is likely seen as a boom or bust job either it works we are successful and the OC gets HC offers or they are fired after the season.

Well...if the OC is supposed to get control...we pay well. High profile to get a head coaching job.

Wonder whose short comings would scare off a play caller trying to show off his scheme???

So you have no point then since Hurts has been the best QB he’s ever had.

Could be an upgrade

Ravens are asking to interview with bears OC Doyle who just withdrew his name from our OC job.

It's HAM or nothing!!!!

Yikes. Too many potential OCs passing on the Eagles OC job. What the hell is going on around here?

Guess

With Kafka off the board, here’s a look at the Eagles’ remaining known options:

• Former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith

• Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard

• Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter

• Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy

• Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson

Plus maybe former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll.

Feeling inspired? Why yes, I am. I'm glad you asked. I would like some Cooter

Mel Kiper pairs Eagles with Clemson CB Avieon Terrell in 2026 NFL mock draft

The fit seems obvious. The Eagles are in desperate need of another reliable outside cornerback, and Terrell has the talent to be an instant starter. Kiper broke down his thought process

"The Eagles tried to fix the CB2 position opposite Quinyon Mitchell (Cooper DeJean is in the slot) with trades for Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II, but neither move did the trick. Carter barely played down the stretch, and Alexander stepped away from football in mid-November. Terrell, though, would be a reliable answer. He broke up nine passes and forced five -- yes, five -- fumbles in 2025. He's terrific in man coverage, and coordinator Vic Fangio had his defense in man 55% of the time this season, third most in the NFL."

They're afraid that AJ will steal their wife like he did to Hurts' newlywed.

Damn Kafka was honestly my sleeper pick for the OC job thought he wasn’t flashy but a solid add for us but guess he is joining the lions.

We interviewed Sean Mannion Packers QB coach for our OC job

We are apparently about to hold a 2nd interview with Sean Mannion for our OC job…can’t say this is an inspiring hire if it happens only been a coach since 2024 and only been a QB coach for a year no play calling experience again….Does have playing experience was a backup QB in the league from 2015-2023 for what that’s worth

The HC, the QB, the FO…. High expectations for the role that will likely get you fired after a year if we struggle….. one of these or even a combination of them.
