I don't know if you're just playing contrarian or you don't think KP was a huge problem

KP was terrible but Philly is well known to be a tough place to be a player or coach. Just saying that could turn some people off.

It's also known for treating great play like royalty

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. Last season we were a great running team and drained the clock to keep our D off the field and it worked extremely well

How many of those seasons ended in Kellen Moore winning a Super Bowl? That's another way that one of those things is not like the others.

I could see howie making this move

Howie always looking for guys that may be cheaper due to injuries.

There is certainly some sense in that for that specific year. But he’s had good running teams for most of his career.

It would be helpful to know how much time was between snaps vs lining up to snap. There was definitely some kind of process failure in 2025.

I think there is some reality behind what everyone is speculating.

I absolutely am buying into the narrative that this is not an attractive OC job and that they will have trouble filling it with someone that has options. While my bias would like to just make this all about Hurts, it's not. (but it's also not NOT about Hurts either).

As grateful as we should all be to Lurie and Howie for 2 Lombardy trophies, I do think word is out around the NFL that they are not easy to work for. Some owners wear their over/micromanagement of football operations on their sleeve (we know who they are). Others are pathologically withdrawn. Lurie is VERY involved with the football operations of this team. I give him tons of credit for turning this franchise around. But he prefers to orchestrate a lot of his football involvement from the shadows, away from the microscope of accountability. Howie, still holding the title belt of "best GM in the NFL," gets very involved in the coaching staff and who knows how involved in the day-to-day nuts and bolts of the team. Given his lack of playing background, that probably rubs some coaches the wrong way. Last and potentially least, Siri is a goofball with a clumsy fit into this whole puzzle. Together, this leadership team has demonstrated a quick trigger to scapegoat and execute coordinators as well as an interest in pulling the strings of the coaches beneath them. That means they could get fired in TWO ways...one by getting singularly scapegoated as the lowest pay-grade on a dysfunctional totem pole. Two, by getting swept up in a total regime change after Siri gets fired.

Lastly, the personnel. The entire foundation upon which this whole thing has to work. You have a QB that doesn't pass well and isn't as dynamic as he used to be. WR1 has 1 foot out the door. The OL is eroding. And the MVP back fell off badly. And if they can't resurrect this exact personnel to 2022 or 2024 status, for the reasons mentioned above, they are getting fired.

This is a BAD job. They probably will be limited to someone who will just take any OC job, not someone with options.

You're basing this off of one guy not interviewing. There is no one else that hasn't interviewed. The narrative has become if they don't get McDaniel then the organization, coach & QB are trash. It's only one guy who Detroit decided not to hire fwiw

Some thoughts on the current state OC search…

• Daboll going back to Buffalo as anything but HC doesn’t make sense from his perspective. That’s a longer journey back to the HC conversation.

• Of the available names the Eagles have been connected to, Charlie Weis Jr is most intriguing. Sign me up for him over Robinson, Cooter, etc. To me it’s McDaniel => Brady => Daboll => Weis. Maybe Slowik at 5 - I could be talked into him coming at a Chargers Steichen-like discount because Stroud sucks.

• I’m not giving a word of airtime about keeping any offensive coach not named Stoutland. Sirianni was visibly reluctant at the last PC to move on from multiple coaches - I don’t think he was putting on a show. Something to watch…

I'm not basing it off anything. It will be (partially, not beyond the typically blog rhetoric) settled once they do or do not hire a name that had other options. Right now is just noise. If Mcdaniel takes a HC job, it's irrelevant. If every single experienced play-caller takes a HC job (that won't happen), then that's a push too. Can't expect this OC job to compete with HC opportunities. But if multiple experienced names settle into other OC jobs and the Eagles, after all the Patullo no prior playcalling experience meltdown the fans/media had (and the franchise ultimately scapegoating him for it)....if they are left with another OC with little experience...then that absolutely speaks to the desirability of the job.

And who had may have some lingering issues with our DC who is very highly regarded in the organisation

Just the QB actually

I’m seeing a lot of local reporters being first to break news or interviews for other teams. How come the national reporters are the ones getting our interviews and no local people have reported on any of them yet? The closest we got was BGN reporting they are "planning” to interview Weis jr

Yeah that’s just your ridiculous embarrassing bias

Guys, even the beat reporters and NFL insiders don't know who will be good or bad for any job. No one could possibly know unless you're in those interviews or have inside knowledge of how the coaches do their jobs, how prepared they are for new responsibilities, etc

In the immortal words of Jim Mora

You're gonna have to hope the FO makes a good decision and see if it works out.

Unless he thinks that's not true.

And Charlie Weiss Jr. could be the next Sean Mcvay or Rich Kotite...who knows? But if experience is to be emphasized with this hire after the Patullo experience, Weiss Jr isn't it. He called plays under one of the more involved and regarded offensive HC's in college football. Sure, he put in some good work there but he's a total gamble as someone to completely hand the keys of a professional offense over to. If they hire him, Howie and Lurie will sell everyone a can of goods about a boy-genius who nailed the interview, but the reality would be that he's looking to climb the ladder and, as a 32 year old NCAA OC with Lane Kiffin training wheels...he and the Eagles were the only OC match/options that each other had.

Whoa

I figured he’d wait for HC jobs to get filled first. Then he’d take his pick of Bucs, Chargers maybe Eagles etc.

I hate 2026 for Philly sports so far. This year is a Fing disaster. Nothing has gone right.
