I don’t want Harbaugh, I want the next best offensive coach so we don’t have to play musical chairs with the OCs

People can rail on this take but I’d rather have stefanski as a HC then harbaugh. I think harbaugh has lived off Lamar and his teams have found ways to lose games over the last 4-5 years that they should’ve won. His teams have had a lot of low IQ plays and situations that cost them. I think harbaugh’s name is better than what he’s done over the last decade. He’s 3-6 and 3-5 with Lamar in the playoffs. Imo stefanski with a better run organization and a good Qb i believ can still be a good HC.

The Saints averaged more yards per game than the Eagles this season. Who besides Olave starts for us?

The patullo Seinfeld meme all off-season please, that is some funny ish

If I was running a dumpster fire franchise like the dolphins, giants, or Raiders then I’d be happy to bring in Harbaugh but the Eagles don’t need that.

You’re right, the Ravens have underachieved the past several seasons

I don't think they fire Nick.

But the question has to be: why does he not have any answers on the offense? Be a CEO coach and have your OC run things, that's fine...but if it's broken all season then what are you doing about it? In 2023 what did he do? In 2024 what did he do about the passing game?

People love going with the optics are worth keeping a clown around for another year argument.

So we can fire Doug 2 years after a SB but not Nick after 1 even if the same issues happened with him 2 out of the last 3 years? Yawn. Any coach would love to go to Philly and have the best GM/owner in the league with Vic as a DC and the young talent they have on that side of the ball. It's not about a coach having to win a SB every year. It's about having a coach who can do more with less not less with more.

At this point, I am just as frustrated with Howie and Lurie. What were they watching and what were their personal conversations about this mess? They both tend to be actively involved in affairs. They had to see this whole mess going sideways very early on. That is a ton of money to have invested with high expectations and it just seems too hard to believe there were no interventions or serious considerations. They are just as much at fault for letting this play out untouched....

Bet some high school coaches that take offense to that…

That’s actually insane

Recent Eagles coach firing timelines:

Defensive Coordinator Sean Desai. Last game Mon Jan 15th. Fired Sun Jan 21st. 6 days.

Offensive Coordinator Brian Johnson. Last game Mon Jan 15th. Fired Tues Jan 23rd. 8 days.

Offensive Coordinator Mike Groh. Last game Sun Jan 5th. Fired Thursday Jan 9th. 4 days.

Head Coach Doug Pederson. Last game Sun Jan 3rd. Fired Monday Jan 11th. 8 days.

Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo. Last game Sun Jan 11th. Fired...?

I don't want to just hear the news...I want him perp walked with a walk of shame. A box of his stuff tossed to curb then him...this should never be allowed to happen again...ever.

Trade AJ Brown to 49ers for Shanahan and Aiyuk.

Easy

Fangio got outcoached too. Shanahan somehow, someway schemed open their frickin Fullback. I was like who the hell is #44??!! Dude was always open. Obviously, on hindsight, I would have put 3 LBs on the field, and have Campbell spotting #44, wherever he was/went.

I still don’t understand why anyone wants Harbaugh. Defensive coach that isn’t really an Xs and Os guy with a worse record than Sirianni. He also had some stacked teams. I mean he’s not terrible but I don’t see how he improves the Eagles.

8 NFL teams have head coach vacancies.

The OC candidates with major "running an offense," designing a scheme, and playcalling experience are Mike Mcdaniel, Brian Daboll, Kevin Stefanski, Brian Callahan.

Mcdaniel and Stefanski will probably get HC jobs. Daboll and Callahan are the ones that probably miss out...but they will interview and will not take this job until all HC jobs close.

Don't expect a sexy name.

I still think if the right candidate, with HC experience shows an interest then the Eagles must cut the cord with Nick now...they can't afford to wait for some of these names to open up again...

I agree, but I'm surprised more people don't know who Kyle Juszczyk is. He's made 10 straight Pro Bowls, All-Pro 3 years in a row. He's been a stud for years.

With that being said, he's a 34 year old fullback who was the 5th option before Kittle got injured. To not have an answer for him was inexcusable. I don't know if it's on Blankenship, Baun, Dean or Vic. For some reason, the Eagles LB looked like a shell of themselves. Did Jihaad Campbell play at all? One of the most confusing parts about yesterdays game.

Tbh i don’t want him as his teams found ways to lose big games in recent history. Giant meme about it. They’ve blown the most 4th quarters leads the last 5years. Add on his teams do stupid things to lose. I already have that issue at times with this team not being buttoned up and detailed. Imo his name value is better than he is as a coach now. Hes not a bad coach but he’s also not reid leaving the eagles and then doing what he did in KC

It’s like they never really self evaluate. wtf are they doing in practice?

"Good" does not equal "Great".

He became a "Great player" with his 'former" best friend throwing him the ball.

His top shelf contract came after he became "great" with Hurts throwing him the ball.

You can make excuses all you want - his "great years" are behind him and he is throwing a hissy fit because his body is breaking down - blaming Hurts and everyone else because he just can't do it anymore.

Are you a betting man?

How much you want to bet AJ Brown never eclipses the 1400 yard mark like he did with Jalen Hurts?

How much?

He doesn't need to eclipse 1400 yards every year in order to be great. He's already a great player. He's still putting up over 1k and 7tds a year in a run first offense. It's hard to replace him and if you think a rookie is going to walk in and put those numbers up, you're crazy

Have to believe that while Howie was doing future contracts today on the PS players they want to retain as well as fishing off of others available (Latu about this time last year), he has his analytics staff putting together the reasons Patullo has to go. Difficult for Nick because of how long he and Patullo have been together, so Howie will have to make his case. Hell, I didn’t like Patullo as Passing Game Coordinator and I sure as hell didn’t like his playcalling this year. So get a new PGC along with a new OC. Didn’t see that Parks Frazier added anything this year.

Got to ask about other offensive coaches. Time to move on from Moorehead? He really hasn’t developed any WRs.

Also have to wonder why it appears Stout and Singleton regressed in the run game. Is it just the shape Dickerson and Jurgens and less Lane for half the season? Frankly, I think that was part of it but I also think a lot of it was the playcalling of Patullo.

Don’t know that a Loeffler should be secure. Didn’t really see much improvement by Hurts this year.

The fact he downplayed AJ being good prior to here is hilarious. He had 1000 yards as a rookie. He followed it by having 1000 yards and 11 tds while missing 2 games in his second season. In 2021 they went to a 17 game schedule. He missed 4 games and still managed to have 869 yards meaning he was on pace for 1136 if he didn’t miss time. This was all with the titans who had tannehill at Qb and were a largely run first team.

Aj brown has always been a great WR. Furthermore a reason we had to give up a 1st and. 3rd for him. People can be mad at how he played yesterday. He was crap. Can be mad at the sideline spat. Also be mad at how he handled the issues midseason. However Aj brown was accurate in what he said. He said it would ultimately catch up to him.

Meanwhile we probably should have the discussion that next year even if they win games ugly that shouldn’t just be accepting of "can’t even be happy about winning”. Because the process matters. Winning cause of a block field goal or not completing a pass for an entire half twice are not sustainable.

Yup. I hope AJ is back
