The Eagles have to satisfy the Rooney Rule before they can officially hire anybody. They're probably reaching out to Duce among others.

He pulled out last year and ended up with the Bears, who've been a disaster the last few years and not the greatest organisation. Slowik was the hot name that ended up fired this season. You just don't know how it pans out from year to year as a HC candidate and take a job when you’ve got that opportunity.

Oh OK ... you mentioned Texans that threw me off (Johnson was with the Lions).

As defending champs we are going to have a target on our backs and defenses will have all offseason to watch film to try to figure out how best to defend against us (although a large part of our success was just having better players overall and man-on-man we were able to win those battles). But still, you'd like to see the offense continue to evolve to stay ahead. Evolve is fine but I'd prefer to see building on what we did this year. Jalen will be better off not having to make significant changes I think.

February 15Feb 15 Why would anyone want to go to New Orleans right now? They are in cap hell. He’ll be out in 3-4 years tops with the current talent on that team.

February 16Feb 16 Hey guys, maybe if we send them Sirianni instead we can make Moore our head coach right?

I'm guessing Kevin Koger (Atlanta's TE coach) probably assumed the request to interview him by the Saints for their OC spot was merely to satisfy the Rooney Rule hence why he declined. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/kevin-koger-declines-to-interview-for-saints-offensive-coordinator-position

Even if things play out as expected with Patullo I am curious about QB coach and I'd think with Patullo a senior assistant comes in.

Is the Rooney rule really changing anything or are teams going to hire the coaches they are targeting regardless of interviewing 1 or two more candidates to satisfy the NFL? There's no doubt I think many assistant coaches are overrated and get promoted to positions they are not prepared for (see the Peter principle). But I don't for a minute think teams are trying to fail as organizations. They should be free to hire the candidates solely on merit and succeed or fail at their own peril. It has to be a bit insulting to the coaches that are always candidates for an opening, but never a serious contender. On the other hand, they may feel like, "wow, all these teams are interested..." and believe they've arrived and stop working as hard for that next promotion. It's also possible that a Rooney Rule candidate could blow a team away with a great interview and get that next job. If the latter is the case and teams aren't already requesting interviews with that person, that team is poorly run and hasn't done it's homework --- and they deserve to fail. I don't know for sure if any of this is the reason Koger declined. I think most of us believe the deck is stacked against whomever gets that position. I didn't believe Moore was "HC ready" just yet and that situation screams, "Scape Goat!" down the road. The very 1st scape goat will be the OC.

The thought is that interviews build up skills and contacts and chip away at the what was a big problem in the nfl. Would that problem have gotten better without some intentional focus by the league? That's a question that is unanswerable. In general minority or not I think it might not be a terrible thing for the league to force a few interviews before a job is handed to someone. The same retreads get the jobs way too much.

Maybe a better approach would be to not allow teams to hire coaches until March 1. That would give people more opportunities to be interviewed by more teams. It would be less of a race to get a guy before he's gone. I totally believe that the one benefit of the Rooney rule is it gives some guys more experience with the interview process. But the downside there is it only gives some guys more experience. Maybe they should just require 20 candidate interviews and then naturally, ethnicity wouldn't be a deciding factor for a phone call.

February 16Feb 16 Just now, pgcd3 said: 20 seems high but it does seem like waiting until after the Super Bowl would be fair How many player visits can a team schedule before the draft? Given enough time, 20 is not really high, but it would be a great opportunity for many young coaches. In your previous post, you talked about a "problem." The problem isn't that a person that looks a certain way got overlooked. The problem is that any deserving person got overlooked.

February 17Feb 17 Moore will bring some of the assistant coaches with him to NO. Just like he did coming to the Eagles last off-season. The changes of coaching staff is not good for teams, more for the winning teams. They should look to put together some comp rules to discourage the raiding of successful staff.
