Runtherock Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 17 hours ago, EagleJoe8 said: If Doug isn't allowed to hire his own staff, to me that's a bigger indictment on Lurie and Howie. We can argue all day long about Doug's judgement, but a coach should have full autonomy over his staff, and then let that be part of the rope he uses to hang himself. If Lurie can't trust Doug to fill out a staff, then he should have went with someone else. Please Jeff, don't turn into our version of Jerry Jones. But Lurie also watched Reid allow a great coaching staff to become a not great coaching staff by not adequately replacing talent.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Doug really only has one thing going for him ... he gets his players to play hard for him. It must be that "emotional intelligence" Lurie kept repeating. I don't think he does a very good job with calling an offense, play design, or scheming to get the best out of the players he has to work with. And I definitely agree with you ... I don't think he does a good job with hiring new coaches. But hey, he isn't as bad as Chip, so there is that. I agree. I think he's very good at getting his players to play hard and fight until the very end. That's a great trait to have but he is not a very good identifier of coaching talent and his play calling is hit and miss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s getting out coached by Garrett! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug doesn't do well off the bye though does he. That's not an excuse for this mess but his record isn't good. But this is a game this team can't afford to lose.

That’s TWO AND A HALF year’s worth of games. Other coaches like Nagy and Gase relinquished play calling duties when their team had a stretch of a few games where the offense was inept. Doug is too stubborn to the point where it is completely irresponsible and a detriment to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I can’t think of a single thing Wentz has gotten better at outside of maybe throwing the football away a few more times per game. Seriously I could have taught him that. Wentz calls this guy a friend and that’s the problem, he’s not hard enough on Wentz because he doesn’t want to ruin their friendship. Either that or he’s just terrible at his job. Carson and flip did not get along probably because Flip wasn’t afraid to get in his face tell him like it is and that is the kind of coaching Wentz needs because lord knows Doug won’t do it. Taylor was head coach at Tulsa and friggin GK KINNE was his qb and that somehow qualifies him to work with Wentz? GJ friggn KINNE I mean my god it’s been 10 years and I still can’t believe that kid was drafted. Didn’t he transition to WR ?? SMH these are the people we put around Wentz and then wonder why he leads the league in turnovers and barely resembles an nfl quarterback at times. Press needs to be held accountable. Times yours. Not sure how you can blame Press, Doug calls the plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetroLot Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If you're going to point the finger at Press Taylor, there are four pointing back at you. Do you know what all four of those are saying? "You'd be better at this man's job than he is." 🤣 Just know that before you point the finger.
