philafan4o8 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 For head coach, the eagles clearly need a leader of men. Robert Saleh is one of my top candidate if (or when) "Dougie P" gets canned. While he is the complete opposite of the Eagles ideal HC, I think with a good OC he would be a be a great coach in this league. Eagles have gotten away from defense. We need to get back to the 2004 days where we had a strong/tough defense. Rough riders like Dawkins, Trotter, Sheldon Brown, etc. Saleh will bring that toughness, given he has a say on what players to get in. Sean McDermott has made the Bills relevant and the eagles didn't interview him the same year they hired "Dougie P." We won a super bowl so I am not going to say they made the wrong decision but McDermott is clearly the better of the two coach, RIGHT NOW. I think the Eagles should look at Saleh and look to get him a top OC and QB coach to develop both Wentz and Hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I mentioned him in the "Doug Stepping Down" thread earlier today. 8 hours ago, time2rock said: IF we were to can Doug (or he steps down, which I just don't see happening), I do feel that we will once again look at offensive-minded coaches as the next HC. But honestly, I don't think it really matters either way - I think you need a good leader of men, regardless of what side of the ball they coach currently, and then that person hires competent coordinators to run those units. I wouldn't mind Saleh (SF DC) as next HC and let him hire someone who is creative, innovative, able to adjust his scheme, play to his players strengths, etc. to run the offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I like Saleh but I don't know about a young defensive HC? I guess if we could get a great young offensive mind to be OC then they'd be calling the plays. Ok I've convinced myself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Guinness Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Lurie clearly loves O minded coaches for HC. And this league has become an O-forward league the way the rules are now. What you need to win is an O capable up putting up 30+ points and a bend-don't-break D that can create TOs. I'm not against a D minded HC as long as he can lead the entire team. Of course he'd need a very good OC to run that side of the team, but he could give good insight into a quality OC by asking himself which of these OC candidates would I hate most to coach against as a DC. Just as long as a D minded coach doesn't do what Buddy did in his time here and pretty much ignore the O side of the ball, then I don't see why it couldn't work. I'd be surprised if Lurie went with a D minded HC. And Howie still needs to be gone in any situation and I'm not sure about that happening any time soon.

Milkman420 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Parsons in play if he did come here I would imagine especially with Mufasa at dc.

If Mike LaFleur comes in as OC and turns this broken offense around, you can be sure he will be a head coach in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
