Why I said kind of. He doesn't have the direct access in the same field most nepo's do. But still, with a billionaire dad, I'm sure he has some type of connections and leg up with other billionaire owners compared to the average coach.

I don't know, I'm far from an Arthur Smith fan as a coach but he took the typical route that most coaches do. He had eight different jobs over 13 years before getting his first OC job with Tennessee. Started as a grad assistant at UNC. He actually excelled in Tennessee at OC with Henry and Tannehill under Vrabel. He deserved a HC role after that and flamed out with Atlanta which happens.

Has the season end press conference with Roseman and Nick been scheduled yet? I would think we will have the OC position opened by then.

I'm leaning towards Kingsbury, as his resume fits the Kellen Moore pattern. Maybe he'll be less demanding this time around - although outside of Stoutland, I'm not particularly attached to our offensive staff (that's a Nick problem).

Politics and personalities aside I think Kingsbury is the guy. I think he can get the best out of Hurts (put him in the best possible situations to succeed, as well as make it less stressful to make decisions and execute). He will also make the O more dynamic scheme wise.

This would make sense if Goedert was still a good blocker, but he's been just as bad as everyone else this year, it's actually shocking how much his blocking has fallen off. I can't remember where I first saw this brought up but I do remember Les Bowen retweeting video clips of Goedert whiffing on blocks as Saquon ran behind him, it wasn't pretty.

Part of me wonders if he was trying to make it through the season without getting injured and more banged up. So he didn’t block like he has in the past. However i think it’s more he’s just regressing and declining in that area.

More from Hurts full locker room interview. He said twice the offense needs a "home base" of what they do and an identity. More critique of the coaching.

A fairly simple vertical passing attack balanced by a productive run game (at least in WAS), seems like something that could work here without totally reinventing the wheel... or at least something that is similar that can be executed/scripted much better, featuring spread/RPO stuff that we know the QB is more comfortable with. The scheme should result in much higher passing volume, so the straightjacket comes off with all the positive and negative connotations included.

There's no way McDaniel would choose to come here under this head coach and his overall offensive philosophies versus going to Detroit and getting free rein, regardless of any potential issues with Fangio.

Or maybe he thinks this could be ideal. If he comes here, shows that he's an offensive mastermind, Lurie might tempted to make him the HC eventually rather than hang on to Sirianni.

If they’re winning they’re not moving off of Siri.

Coaching agents wouldn't keep it hidden. This is still a desirable job. If there were serious interviews being scheduled, they would put it out there for leverage with other teams.

Maybe the FO hasn't gotten through all the exit/end of season interviews yet, if they haven't then they likely haven't informed KP of their plan to move forward, I think they are still in the assessment stage. If they have completed the assessment stage they simply haven't informed KP of their plan moving forward, therefor haven't reached out to any coaching agents yet...I would think as professional as the PHI FO is they would let KP know before he sees it in the media that he isn't coming back but what do I know.

I will say this, for the sake of all diehard PHI fans, they cannot move fast enough. I have a great deal of empathy for you guys.

I wouldn't call KK offense a simple verticle passing game. He is an Air Raid guy looking for mismatches (most all coaches are, not trying to be obvious here) he likes the RPO quite a lot as well. What he does imo is make it easier for the QB to make decisions quickly without dumbing down the offense. The downside is he does rely on a mobile QB and their running capability, look at his QBs in the past, there have been some injuries.

This choice is essentially my life preserver toss to Jalen Hurts, if it doesn't work out - everybody should know what's next.

Does the Rooney Rule apply to coordinators or can we hire anyone we want immediately?

Yeah. But they'd still blame Siri and not Hurts.

Just hire Foles

I am not a Hurts detractor but yes, I would say that is a fair way of putting it. PHI O has to be more dynamic with all the talent and $ invested. He is capable of a high degree of success, I do not put a lot of stock in the "new coordinator every year" excuse. You don't go from Alabama to OU with the success he had and not be able to adapt to an OC. Football is football, the spread offense has some nuances, but at the end of the day it is primarily just terminology that is different from OC to OC, the concepts and execution are similar and should be familiar to every QB that has played to this level for the last 30 years. I think it's a pretty simple approach with Hurts, get hiim an OC that can implement the scheme and terminology that allows him to process quicker, gets plays in faster so he can get a good pre-snap read, make changes as necessary and execute. I realize i am over simplifying what needs to happen but at the end of the day that really is it imo.

Man if that guy wants a job in football, he is the OC or passing game coordinator answer, especially in PHI. Question is does he want to spend that much time away from his family.

Seriously, after watching that Foles video again they need to hire him.

Also an issue. Which comes down to they needed Carter to play like we saw in 2024 especially in the playoffs.

Phillips should’ve been that guy. Or hunt or smith. imo and said at the time I’d have given hunt and davis off week 18. Both had played more snaps than they ever had.

I have a tougher time going hard after Phillips because he played 17 regular season games in a row. And then finally got a bye week in week 18. If the eagles played their guys against the commanders to get the 2 seed, he’d have gone 19 weeks in a row. That would’ve been ridiculous for any player.

With that being said. Did Howie burn another 3rd round pick at the trade deadline? 3rd round pick for 1/2 a season.

KP and Sirianni just doing things to fo them. No rhyme or reason or to set anything else up.

If he weren’t Sirianni’s best friend I’d say there’s no chance of a demotion.

If Sirianni walks in to Lurie's office and says Patullo deserves a spot on the staff if he's demoted, then Lurie needs to show Sirianni the door.

Chargers fired their OC before the Eagles and their game ended later. Let's go, Lurie.
