I think Reich makes sense if he still wants to coach. He's 63 going on 64 (during the season). He took the year off. Fangio is older but still wanted to be a DC. Haven’t seen anything on Twitter recently where Frank Reich was offered a coaching job or trying to get back into it when new HC were assembling staffs. 

If Reich wants to keep working, it makes a ton of sense. He could implement a lot of the RPO game they used with Nick in 2017 and 2018 as well.

Another name to just throw out there (mainly just for fun, it is a complete longshot) -- Doug Pederson needs a job.

Not a lot of coaching experience with any of those names.  The Eagles got burned with promoting a relative novice in Brian Johnson to run the offense.  I think anyone the Eagles bring in to run the offense (if Moore leaves) would need to follow the same philosophy as Nick/Kellen for the sake of continuity.

Frank Reich starts to look better and better compared to that list.

I'll take a guy from the Mcvay tree over a retread

Have a hard time seeing Doug being a OC to nick. Would be an interesting dynamic to say the least.

I've seen Texans fans complain about him too

Slowik runs a timing based offense with tons of in-breaking routes. I don’t see him as a fit for Hurts. He was also terrible at compensating for a struggling OL with protection adjustments, but that wouldn’t be an issue here. 

We interviewed Scheelhaase last year to skirt the Rooney. He did so well that Sirianni forgot his name. Seems like he’s had interest for OC jobs this year. I wonder if we’d legitimately talk to him this time.

It goes Cowboys fan and then the next two is a coin flip.  

You are hurting my soul man...we are the lowest of the low, even worse than Giants fans.

Seemed the Texans org wanted more 11 personnel, Slowik was more effective with the pure Shanahan stuff with a FB, etc. Doesn’t seem like a fit with Hurts at all.

IMO the overwhelming favorite for OC would be Reich.

Eagles quietly collecting run blocking TEs for next year.  Signed Cameron Latu to a futures contract.  Slow but tough run blocking TE from Alabama that was overdrafted in 2023 by the whiners.  Just grabbed Nick Muse to the PS, a late round 2022 draft choice by the viqueens. Also a blocking TE.   Interesting.

Doug is less capable of playcalling than Nick.  That’s not a compliment.

So sick of losing coaches to HC hires.  

At least they could be black and we get some picks!  Come on Kellen, do a DNA test.

if Moore goes to the saints, I’d add patullo to this list but feel like those would be the candidates 

 

Whoever the OC is at some point we should consider bringing in Nick Foles as the QB coach (if he’s open to it).
 

 As a backup, that’s basically what he did here - and when he was hurt, that’s what he did in Jacksonville and did it well.

I’d add i don’t think their OL is as good as it was 2 years ago. They still have smith, thuney and Humphrey but moved thuney to LT. But caliendo and Taylor aren’t as good. Caliendo per pff is below 50 and Taylor is in the 50s. Orlando brown jr. And Wylie were actually better at tackle than thuney and Taylor even though thuney has been really good. their interior was much stronger with thuney, Humphrey and smith than inserting caliendo for thuney and moving thuney to LT

THIS will be the deciding factor between the loser and the winner...the offensive lines. I feel way more confident in our oline holding up in pass pro and road grading in the run game, and our front 7 dominating more than I do for the Chiefs. Mahomes does not look comfortable behind that oline and their dline is giving up 148 rushing yds per game in the playoffs.

Huh?   Can you back that up?   I don't seem to recall much trouble in the play calling in 2016 or 2017.  It took a step back when the coaching staff took a step back, unsurprisingly.  Nick never had success calling plays.  That's why he gave it up almost immediately in his first year, and when he might have gotten more involved in the actual play calls, it went belly up pretty quick, like in 2023.

Dude, did you not listen? Nick Wright says there is no way Saquon will go off on the Chiefs. And Nick Wright has never had a bad take on Saquon. Or the Eagles. Or football.

I literally did a fist pump and yelled, "Yessss!l” when I heard him say that.

He is, was, and always will be a Grade A dope. Texans got 149, Bills got 147. Saquon should be hitting at least 150, and getting the SB MVP. Regardless of outcome, we have all been witness to one of (if not THE) the greatest single seasons for any Philadelphia athlete, in any sport, of all time. I'm in awe of what he has done this year. I want to see him and his daughter on the field, under the falling confetti and her saying, "See daddy? I was RIGHT."

When Ertz beat them, it was in coverage against Blankenship with 3 targets for 3 first downs. I don't think the Eagles are going to ask Blankenship to cover Kelce by himself on 3rd downs.

AR will scheme to get that look.  He's an evil genius at it.  Last time he isolated Kelce on TJ (I think) which was also a mismatch.  Fortunately, Gannon can't hold Fangio's jock so we will be better prepared this time.  Probably lots of crossing routes and YAC-type routes too.

I definitely think Howie is putting feelers out there in case Moore takes the job. Get on the phone with Caley, Udinski, and Slowik.

Not Slowik - He had a bad relationship with Stroud and did a terrible job in Texas.  One name to consider may be the Bills' QB coach, Ronald Curry.  And yes, it is this Ronald Curry:

I can easily get behind this opinion, I would add though, picking up the blitz, getting rid of the ball or hitting a hot route when blitzed will be will be critical. The hot route piece is what would concern me. Base against base the Eagles are better, control Chris Jones' impact and execute against the blitz are the keys imo.

EDIT: staying in front of the sticks, keeping conversion yardage manageable on 2nd & 3rd downs should minimize the blitz opportunities.

Their oline was bad. But in slowik’s defense, they also lost Nico Collins for like 5 1/2 games and during that same stretch lost Stefon Diggs. They literally didn’t have either one of those guys for 3 straight weeks. Eventually lost dell for 3 weeks too. So almost a quarter of the season they were down there number one and number two wide receivers (Mixon lost for 3 games early). And even when Collins came back, it took him a week to get going so really you didn’t have full Nico Collins for like 6 1/2 games.

I’d add Mixon was not good the last 6 games of the regular season. He was held under 60 yards in 5 of 6 games and averaged 3.4 yards per carry on about 13 carries per game. He also missed 3 weeks early in the season.

i think slowik deserves blame but some of this was GM building a bad oline and injuries hampered them for long stretches of the season.
