Nivraga Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Usually when the Eagles start off this abysmal I pop over to the college football section for early preview of draft prospects. But C19 has put the kabash on a lot of future NFL talent. So - as I think it might be time to thank Doug profusely for the Eagles first and only SB title as we walk him to the door - I'm interested in peeking at what HC prospects are out there. Here is an article from SI on the subject I'm interested in who the board has in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20dawk4life Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I was looking at Brian Schottenheimer. He has a good track record with QBs and has been calling plays in Seattle for a little while now I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles_All_Day Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Just this past summer, there was some who felt that Doug was underrated. Felt Doug was a top 5 NFL head coach. Didn't like seeing Mcvay rated above him. Now there are some who want to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madriver Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 My choices in order of preference: 1. Bienemy 2. Riley 3. Venables 4. Kafka I'm really interested in having a younger, college-oriented coach again. Not only are the NFL and College schemes so alike these days, I feel the transition would be less for a good college guy. Plus, they're used to having to innovate and work with a hodgepodge of skill levels and players. A successful college coach---one that have appeared in a couple of big bowl games--- has really earned his stripes, IMO. On a side note, I can't believe Press Taylor is on that list as an up and coming coach. The guys blows and is probably single-handedly responsible for Wentz' decline. He apparently learned nothing from Reich and Flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost seams like Andy was pushing for Doug to get hired to get someone else in. Eric on the other hands is know for designing the plays, and has a big part in game planning. I think he has better understanding then Doug did before he was hired. We need that creativity. Now where I think Doug has his success is with being that players coach. He gets the respect from the players more of being a friend. I dont know much about Eric in that nature. But he would be my top chouce right now. Honestly Dave Flipp would be a close 2nd though for me. I think he would strive as a HC like John did. I never hear his name mentioned, but could be a sleeper in the mix.

EazyEaglez Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I’m still not ready to give up on Doug. He’s been to the playoffs three straight seasons and won a Super Bowl with his GM giving him trash to work with most of that time. Need a running back or outside receiver? Here Doug have a slot guy. Need new young corners? Here Doug have an injured guy. Need any receiver? Here Doug have a useless LB/DE who can’t play and the Browns don’t even want. Need receivers Doug? Nah I’m not gonna trade for Hopkins or trade up to get Lamb. Instead how about a backup quarterback you can’t really use. How about a new GM instead? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mind Doug as a HC BUT he cant stay as the OC. As a HC Im good with him. He holds the respect from the team. If he refuses to give up the OC role, he has to go though.. I dont consider 18-19 seasons a successful teams with how they made the playoffs. Hell this year we could make the playoffs again with 6 wins. Thats not good coaching just cause they make playoffs in a all time worse div records combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure many coaches in the league could win with some of the stuff he has to endure. For everyone who cries "Wentz has no weapons!” The same applies for Doug and on top of that he doesn’t have say on his own coaching staff. When it comes down to it the only power he has is play calling. Now I do think he should consider giving it up, but I can understand if he thinks he needs to pull a power move here like Chip Kelly did. If the GM keeps giving up dud players there isn’t much Doug can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathByEagle Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think this coaching staff is failing as talent developers. Howie did do a horrible job this year in the draft drafting speed over talent. But I do think the coaching as a whole has been really bad in making the best of these players. The only positions coaches I see doing a good job is Duce and the TE coach. The rest have not been very good and getting the most out of their players.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think there are a few exciting candidates out there. If they do move on from Doug I'd like to see them bring in a young offensive minded HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uscg-green Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hate to burst the bubble here. Lurie isn't going to fire a HC when the last 3 years have been: 3 playoff appearances, 2 division titles and a World Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesfan0075 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Bill O'Brien is now a coaching free agent. Obviously we just saw as a GM/HC, he was basically the Texans version of Chip Kelly. However, in light of such an epic meltdown, O'Brien may have to settle for an OC job or maybe even QB coach to rehab his coaching image in the NFL. I doubt he gets another HC job right after getting fired, like Chip did with the 49ers, but stranger things have happened. Let's not forget O'Brien was interviewed by the Eagles during the coach hiring cycle when they ultimately went with Chip Kelly. So there at least was legitimate interest at one point in time. Maybe the opportunity to revive Carson Wentz's career as a QB is an enticing enough opportunity? I wouldn't want him as a HC, but if we have a losing season and have to fire offensive assistant coaches, I would imagine O'Brien would be an upgrade over most options.
