Screw Nick too. Coaches should make teams better not cost them seasons hiring their BFF or driving the best OL coach in the NFL away.

So Brees and Fitz are probably locks tonight for the HOF, who else makes it from the finalists?

Holt has to get in at some point but if Fitzgerald is in I can see him waiting another year. I’ll say Suggs to get a defensive player. Wouldn’t be surprised about Witten either.

Don't know about Becton but im really scared for Lane retiring now lol

He is retiring soon either way

Cowboys in the opening Friday game of next season.

Is Stoutland still under contract? If so, unless the Eagles fire him, he doesn't just get to go "Ok, I'm out" and then go coach another team. If I was Lurie and he wanted to coach the Giants there's no chance in hell I'd allow it. I'd be like either come coach for us or spend time with your family, but you're under contract. You don't just get to go elsewhere whenever you want.

Yeh I just read an argument of Holt over Witten, a well thought out argument at that.

Kuechly was also tabbed as the 3rd in line after Brees and Fitz in the same article.

I would love to see Woody make but I think Thomas goes before him so he’ll continue to wait.

Not shocked by this. I think we are privy to such a tiny sliver of the politics, discussions, and drama behind the scenes. This could have been mismanaged worse than we are all imaging...or not at all.

The offense SUCKED last year. The Eagles' power structure wants to implement changes. They will no doubt be held accountable if those changes flop. But I don't think there's much sense speculating or losing our collective minds over it right now when it simply could be that a bunch of old coaches who have been around the block a million times are questioning if they want to do it again amidst significant schematic changes.

Holt is immensely deserving.

Just a point out that first paragraph is not exactly accurate. He left out the fact that McLanw said Stoutland they wanted back. Stoutland declined to come back. And they were supposed to release a message at the same time about him leaving. And Stoutland jumped the gun before the Eagles could release their message. Because Stoutland wanted to show he wasn’t on the same page as the Eagles. McLane Said that in the podcast. That tweet is missing info because he left things out purposely.

They wanted him back as OL coach but not RGC.

I completely get why some here have angst over the changes PHI is going through this offseason. PHI is still looking at a window to win a couple of Super Bowls and changes to what has been successful creates uncertainty.

Ultimately I think there shouldn’t be too much concern at this point. The game as we’re used to it is changing. Younger coaching talent has to be a part of that imo. Give them a chance to succeed, judge accordingly, they may just surprise the hell out of everyone. I think everyone will have enough results to crucify or praise them by mid season.

Just now, pgcd3 said:

Yes, but in his contract it still had him as the RGC. So it technically still would’ve been in his title. The Eagles wanted him back to be the offensive line coach, but he didn’t want to come back due to sounding like being disrespected and no RGC besides he fact they’d have to amend his contract to take it or out just leave it.

However, the only thing they mutually agreed upon when they parted ways was that when they were going to release the message at the same time saying that he was leaving. that didn’t even happen cause Stoutland jumped the gun because he was not on the same page as the eagle to send a message.

Now McLane did say the players were frustrated and wanted to be more under center and do some other thing. That paragraph is accurate. However his paragraph about parting ways was more mutual for everyone involved for everyone is not exactly accurate as one side wanted him back as OL coach and the other was like I’m out

We also have to consider, if Jurgens and Dickerson are to stay here, what kind of OL schemes are they capable of running at a high level? I don't think either of them will ever play at 100% again, maybe closer to 90% on a good day.

— McLane sent message to a long time nfl person after mannjon, nfl source said what’s that say about Nick. He responded with says giving him just enough rope to hang himself. Make it easier to cut him if doesn’t work out. Doesn’t say he’s on hot seat but standing where close to his standing after 2024 Says lurie considered firing him after 2023 and bye in 2024. Olivia says if doesn’t go well she doesn’t think it’s a long leash. Pressure on sirianni and team to perform better on offense

Gee...what a surprise...where is our resident troll and his laughing emoji defending Sirianni and laying all the blame elsewhere on everyone else...zero credibility

This is exactly what is going on... Sirianni is being cut out or minimized in decision making so it will be easier to remove him. I thought it was very peculiar at the start of the OC hiring process that the public notification was recalibrated to include mention of Sirianni leading the process...that was just cover for Lurie/Howie. He is dead man walking if Mannion shows any level of competency early on...it is not going to be necessarily a bad start that removes Sirianni ...it is going to be when the brain trust has enough confidence in all these new guys...the pieces are in place.

By he responded i meant McLane to the question asked by the nfl source. So that’s basically what McLane feels is going on.

Sorry for the confusion. I was typing it while listening to it.
