Another HC looking for an OC to call plays and run the offense. Great.

How funny would it be if minter brought Greg Roman with him/back to the ravens lol

Uhhh yea, it matters. Especially when you are in that portion of the season to figure things out and plan around things like that called the offseason.

If they are planning on him playing next year regardless of what Lane does, they are making a mistake.

It's clear the top tier candidates like McDaniel, Daboll, and Kingsbury aren't interested in the position. The autonomy issue is real. If Siri was offering true control, they would be lining up. I believe Sirianni's seat is at least warm and the FO is making it clear he is the decision maker in this OC selection.

The Eagles practically have true control in huge font on a billboard for the job. What makes you so sure they'd be lining up to work with Hurts?

"OC's shying away from Philly because they threw snowballs at Santa"

No but they might be noticing that this team has been to the playoffs 5 straight years, 2 SBs and won a SB not even a year ago and fans along with Philly media are calling for people to be fired. Its very possible candidates have noticed that.

Let's face it, this fanbase (not everyone) has become very impatient and a bit spoiled.

They would definitely be getting more than McDaniel virtual feelers and Jim Bob Cooter interviews to make it seem like you're doing something.

The writing has been on the wall for AJ Brown to be out of here for a long time. There are irreconcilable differences, so the dead cap space is immaterial. He has to go. And he wants out. Wants his next big payday. And Howie and Brown's agent will figure this out. See Patriots and Bills as his top destinations. He's out of here like Vladimir.

A $40m cap hit, a giant hole at WR, and getting your franchise QB openly trashed by AJ with the inevitable tell-all are not immaterial. That's a huge cost. Really good chance they are cleaning house in 1-2 years anyway and it's so much easier to bury this story then.

If Cooter is the best you can do just give it back to Patullo

Settle down now.

I find everyone panicking about the OC right now to be over the top.

Whoever we get will be likely be solid.

The biggest issue for 2026 was always figuring out the OL, not the play-caller. We're guaranteed to get an upgrade over Patullo. OC has no such promises.

Do we know? I just see a bunch of pouring over media speculations and rumors right now too.

It is a huge cost. But worth it because he doesn't want to be here and will sabotage this offense and be a toxic risk. Can't have another year like last season. It will sink the team. HE'S DONE HERE! I am totally okay with it. Devanta is your number 1 and you go find a number 2. Not impossible.

I mean the other option is an OC takes the HC job so it's a similar result except you can at least compete OC to OC in this case

I think there’s room for us to be concerned about what appears to be plan C at OC, even if it’s a likely upgrade. The degree of upgrade absolutely matters.

It's long past time to call Frank Reich.

Nah with the change at least we could say things such as I really like Cooter or Cooter is running too much

McDaniel and Monken were the two big fish. Missing out of them does suck.

After that? A whole lot of solid.

Who are the handful of solid OCs that are available to us? I’ll spot you Brady, who seems unlikely to come here at this point.

Schultz says Udinski and Scheelhaase are finalists in Cleveland.

BD is out. Doubt Brady comes here. Nick being a clown and catering to Hurts and his limitations are two problems nobody wants as a good OC

I thought it was the other way around, the Eagles haven't shown interest in interviewing Kingsbury?

If they get Kingsbury, Brady, by some miracle get in on Monken those are very worthy of getting excited about even if they weren't their top choices. But if they end up settling for like Cooter or Kafka there's no sugar coating it. That would absolutely suck and on truth serum you know how disappointed the Eagles would be. Them not getting the guys they want matters. They obviously were very excited about McDaniel and Daboll in their organization.

Joe Brady is my #1. I don't think he's great, but he's competent ala Kellen Moore.

Other legitimate, safe options.

• Zac Robinson. He was fine in Atlanta. Had to deal with more limited QBs than Hurts and a worse HC. Fans got mad at his 3rd down calls, which can be fixed with a better staff. Was willing to feed Bijan, like we would with Saquon. Also fed London, when healthy. He has spent two entire years using Pistol formations.

• Bobby Slowik. Similar to Robinson, we now know that the issues in Houston are more CJ related with Nick Caley than Slowik related. Their offense in 2023 under him was fine when the OL was good (a recurring theme)

• Arthur Smith. Will run the ball. Lots of play-calling experience and knows how to use AJ Brown. Does get weird by over-using TE3 and RB3, BUT we have no depth at those positions so less of an issue. Smith modified his offense to fit Aaron Rodgers, so he IS willing to adjust to his QB.

  I'm also fine with them hiring Scheelhaase and trying to hit a home run even if it fails.

lol speaking of my last post, Solak just went on WIP and mentioned Kafka and Cooter as the names he'd be looking out for.

Ideally would be some HC retread like McCarthy whose going to call plays and would never come here and hire some OC we wouldn't be entertaining.
