LOL.

If he qualifies as a minority, it's time to tear the Rooney Rule up. It's past time anyway, but this is a stretch. No one has ever mentioned Kafka as PR until it benefits them to check a box. What a ridiculous thing.

I'm of German and Italian decent. Would I meet the stupid Rooney Rule criteria?? 🧐🙃

I know you are being sarcastic, but as to white or not white, prior to the 1924 act, yes.

Irish and Italians and others were classified as white to allow them in.

Earlier this week, there was discussion on the Lebanese. Also classified as white.

Just obtained a picture from Kafka driving home from the Eagles interview.

If Kafka left for a HC job we’d get two third round picks, right?

I didn't even know the Dolphins ex-HC was a minority. He just looked Greek/Italian to me, but with an Irish last name. 😀😀

Yes and McDaniel

Dude.......LMFAO. 

My wish list for potential hires:

1. McDaniel (far and away the top choice)

2. Daboll (will never happen with sirianni)

3. Kingsbury

I wouldn't mind Kafka or McCown at all, but they would be underwhelming and kind of fly in the face of "doing everything they can to win". If they end up with one of these two, it means everyone else rejected them.

Criticize away…that’s a different argument. I just think some people are looking to criticize anything that moves after a season like this.

‘Untouchable’ is one way of saying it. But I think it’s just a case of many people realizing that oline coach for the Eagles is probably the last area of the team that is in need of improvement

You can see from the responses that people do act like he's untouchable. Don't forget he's also the run game coordinator too. He had a bad year regardless of the injuries

That seems like the right order.

And Id probably go for a splashier college name before an underwhelming NFL name. Weiss Jr before McCown.

I actually need to refresh my memory on Kafka. I know he was with the Giants. I forget exactly which coach/s he played under while in Philly.

I am impressed by whomever can be credited with making a lot out of a little with that NYG offense this year. For a minute while Nabers and Skattebo were still healthy, that offense looked actually pretty decent.

The Eagles should interview Elizabeth Warren. Then the Rooney rule is out of the way.

Said this before. Will be the season of what if

Howie and Lurie are definitely at least 50% responsible. It's one thing to hire the wrong person and another to keep him in the position knowing he was incompetent and could cost them a season. They must have been influenced by replacing Desai in 2023 and having it blow up in their faces.

Kingsbury vs Daboll is close.

Daboll was really good with Josh Allen. Not just Allen carrying the team either it seems it was creative and schemed guys open. You see creative things with the Giants with him at times. And he made Dart, who I think sucks, look good for a while. But also Daniel Jones left him and improved overnight.

Kingsbury seems to alienate organizations that he does to, is pretty demanding. His offenses are productive, but he never uses under center, never uses motion, and his offenses trail of in the 2nd half of seasons.

I go back and forth between those two on who I'd prefer if I had to pick one.

Eagles were interested in him a couple years ago if I remember correctly.

That's kinda what he's been doing already to get us to this point. He's already been kicking the can down the road with everyone he can, which is fine if Lane, Hurts, and whoever else remain as viable contributors until 2027. But fans are already calling for Hurts to be traded and who knows how many more quality seasons Lane still has in him. It's somewhat plausible but eventually compounding risk will catch up to

Kafka was drafted under Reid who hired him in KC as well

Philly sports might never win again game again

Cooter would be a fun name to have around.

Ol Jim Bob?

hputenis really wants Cooter

Jim Bob would be more of the we're going to do what we did before just try to do it better like we did with Steichen. It's not exciting but not necessarily the wrong answer.

I did not realize that Tank is not a free agent until 2027. That is one bright spot in a very bad week.

Good thought. I agree.

I wouldn't mind having him as the OC. Not a flashy/splashy name, but still, a solid, experienced, Offensive Coach.
