Geoff Mosher suggested Matt Nagy as an ideal fit.

That might be the most uninspiring of all the names.

That would be awful. The guy who had the Chiefs offense continuously trend downward in his time there. I’m not saying it’s all his fault cause there were other factors. But that offense when he took it over went the opposite direction each consecutive year.

I said a couple weeks ago, I think if they sign Phillips that hunt or Smith is not gonna be here long-term. I tend to lean towards it being Smith. Because he’s had durability issues since college. And I think hunt has a higher ceiling that he’s just starting to scratch. Not that Smith doesn’t have a nice ceiling. Tend to think they let Phillips walk

I get the injury hurt Smith this year but the way he played during the playoffs and down the stretch last year was unbelievable. Maybe he never gets back to that run but he was awesome down the stretch last year.

Also, Baun, AJ, Saquon, Lane and a large portion of Dead Cap may be off the books next off-season. As we go towards youth movement and re-signing our draft picks.

Does Arthur Smith have blackmail pictures of everyone in the league? How is he still getting interviews for anything?

Jeff and Howie have the final say. If they want KP gone then either Nick agrees or Nick will also be shown the door. Having said that, I don't care if KP is put in some lesser role. He might just fine in such a role.

Someone posted a stat about his job with the passing game and it wasn't great.

Yeah I'm sure Stafford hasn't made enough money throughout his career and instead needs to get a cut from those ultra lucrative prop betting syndicates by agreeing to lose an extra yard on a QB kneel

let me say this I don’t think it’s realistic. I don’t think this is what the Eagles are gonna do. But theoretically Baun is tradeable after 2026. You could sign Nakobe Dean to an extension. Knowing that in 2026 you’re gonna have three really good linebackers and paying two of them. But the following year trade baun to get draft picks back to help replenish. You’re gonna wind up taking about a $9.6 million dead money hit but it would clear about 2.1 million in cap space with draft picks.

Again I don’t think it’s realistic or even remotely likely

What did "passing game coordinator" Kevin Patullo bring to the table? The last 2 seasons the pass game was subpar, to put it mildly.

Media tries to paint him as some great vibes guy who is loved by players within the building. But the offense has been miserable with their vibes for two years so how good is he even at that?

I think he is just a nice guy who people don't want to dump on and he is Nick's best friend. There is no reason to keep him around, it's ridiculous that is the way this is starting to trend, even if it is in a different role. If you are a new outside OC coming in, do you really want the last OC hovering around part of your staff, trying to dictate or run the passing game when the passing game concepts were so awful under him? Makes no sense.

I don't see how you can agree to keep him on before you even speak to OC candidates. That totally signals please take this job where the head clown will have too much control over what you do.

I'd like to hope and think the Eagles have used back channels to put the word out and stuff, but the Eagles in the past have kinda dropped the ball on coaching searches in that regard. Were late to fire Pederson, last year people said the same thing. "They knew Moore might get an OC job, they put out feelers!" Turns out... nope.

I could easily see us sitting here a couple weeks from now saying we missed out on the top names because they dragged their feet on this. But they better get to it soon.

They didn't miss out last year, it was predetermined that patullo was going to replace Moore weeks before the super bowl. Once they started reporting that he was a person they were considering if moore left (really a when, they had to know he was going to get a HC opportunity), it was over. I don't even remember them doing interviews, Patullo was named the OC 10 days after the super bowl ended!

There was no intention to hire anyone else, which is was makes me so aggravated about this season, they were unserious from the get go. I guess that should have made me temper my expectations, but once the season started and the league was so weak I got my hopes up that the defense could carry them until the offense reached at least mediocrity, but the offense never did.

30 minutes ago, DrPhilly said:

Yep. With the injured OL and Hurts running game slowing it was too much to overcome. Of course, KP had no chance as he is just not an NFL level OC.

Replacing KP is step #1 but they either need to go to a new overall scheme or they need to spend a lot of offseason capital to restock the OL with both of those having their own risks.

I think we need both — new scheme and a huge influx of young offensive talent through the draft.

Schematically, we could keep the same verbiage theoretically in order to smooth over the transition, but we need someone with experience in other styles of play to become more creative. Personal associations aside, McDaniel is my choice if he doesn’t get a HC job. Barkley would run wild, and he’d force the offense to become more explosive. Smith should have a field day.

Personnel wise, we have put most of our draft resources the past few years into the defense and it shows: 2025 — first 5 picks, 2024 — first 3 picks, 2023 — first 2 picks and 4 of our first 5. The highest drafted offensive player was Steen at #65 in the 3rd round three years ago. During that time we’ve used four 1st rounders and two 2nd rounders on defense.

Time to load up on offense again. 2 OL, a WR, and a TE must be had in the top 100 or so picks. At least, that’s what I would do.

Yeah, we need the new OL no matter what we do. We also need something at TE. If we are going to an entirely new scheme we need to look at all the players to see how they fit and that will start at QB.

His dad was FedEx so I don’t know what kind of pull that has for NFL coaching spots. Steve Belichick was the prototypical nepo baby.

This defense unfortunately isn't the '99 Ravens

This run that HOU is on defensively might carry them to a SB like that BAL team. If they can eliminate the bad snaps…

I didn't watch game, but I heard Stroud had at least 3 turnovers. I saw the score this morning, and was impressed sight unseen.

It was closer than the score indicates, at least on the scoreboard. HOU controlled the PIT O masterfully all game but got a couple of late scores to really make it look horrible. It was still a game up until early to mid 4th qtr. Once PIT started throwing every down they just had zero chance.

So, there are offensive coordinators. Good and bad ones. The good ones have different systems, that likely don't all mesh with our personnel. If you get that right, you only have to stay healthy so the wheels don't fall off. No problem (except that guy will get a HC job).

At this point, I seriously hope they fire Sirianni so the fanbase can stop being annoying. They won't be, but I think the relationship was broken during 2023, and nobody's going to be even slightly rational anymore, as dumb as it is for that to happen in a season in which you win 11 games.

The fanbase has never been more annoying and I'm tired of it. Fire him and get it over with. Whatever happens after that, happens.

End it already. Please.

Sirianni with personality matching is like McNabb here, it's just not going to work out.
