He passed on Carson and said he wasn’t a Top 20 QB. Couldn’t have hit it off that well. 

It wasn’t his call. After Hue was fired he said Wentz memorized the whole playbook instantly and wanted to draft him at 2. He could be blowing smoke but who knows. The guy has gotten a lot out of average QBs

Jury is out on Matt rhule. But i do like him as a coach. I’d have loved to get him to replace doug sadly he left for Carolina last year. 

i think in the league right now it’s likely just Pete Carroll. Who didn’t have the success til his third tenure as a HC in the nfl (Jets and Patriots) 

That success, ironically, only came after a long stint at college though.

Well this should guarantee we get a Lurie PC at some point in the near future.

Funny thing is, I had 2023 typed out but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.

So because our team sucks and is having obvious internal issues, you are abandoning ship for another team?

Yup the same guy who questioned people being wentz fans over eagles fans. Now the same could be said of him being a doug fan over a eagles fan. Not shocking.

You never know, but I just can’t imagine there’s a good chance of locking down a top candidate. This job looks worse by the day. 

There a better chance we get a Better HC candidate now, then we would have gotten a OC or DC with Doug being a lame duck coach.

I tend to believe the eagles know who they want and some sort of knowledge that they could get him to come here. Pure speculation on my part, i think things took a turn with doug when he told them the staff he wanted and it was a power move by him to either mutually part ways or get that power but also i think lurie had an inkling of knowing he could get the guy he wants to come here so he was willing to just let Doug go. Might not be who we all want though. 

If its Daboll, Howie and Daboll sharing an agent would connect dots behind the scenes.

We all know that you stick with your team through thick and thin.  It makes winning so much more satisfying.  Anyone can come along for the ride when things are good.

Kafka could be a candidate for OC under a new head coach, definitely NOT head coach.

He’s another early-thirties coach with minimal credentials outside of KC, and only three years as a QB coach — no experience at all as a coordinator 

Eagles fans would and should be livid if he were chosen as head coach

It would be great if we could get the zoom link so we can ask why Howie Roseman isn't fired yet.

Yeah i think he learned from his experience from the Patriots and one season with the Jets in 1994. But he really learned a lot from his USC experience as a HC. Frankly the Seahawks have had success recently cause Of Wilson more than Pete Carroll’s coaching. I felt like the second half of the season Carroll reverted his offense back to ground and pound to try to help his crap defense and they got the defense to be average but the offense lost its mojo and Wilson never looked the same.

Carroll was in the NFL before he was in college. I said prior he's the only one really that at least was in college for an extended time and then came back to have success in the NFL. 

Coughlin learned in the NFL as an assistant under Parcells.

Jimmy Johnson was an outlier, and didn't last long. 

Harbaugh is a joke. 

Vermeil wasn't that great of a coach. He was the right guy to turn around Philly in the 70s, and a great spot for the Rams in late 90s. But he's a .500 career coach. 

Bill Walsh learned his craft in the NFL, as an assistant coach with the Bengals for almost a decade. He was a college coach for 1 year. 

There aren't many coaches who can take 2 loser legacy franchises to the Super Bowl and win one.  There aren't very many coaches that have ever taken two completely different franchises to a Super Bowl, so if Vermeil isn't high on your list, then your list is very exclusive.

While I agree, its a dangerous move... Dick Vermeil, Jimmy Johnson.  Depends how you define 'sustained' success, I suppose.

There's a few outliers. Jimmy Johnson really had that ridiculous draft haul and absolutely made the most of it. He was really bad the first two years there (though those Dallas teams had no talent). He did OK in Miami with the Dolphins. 

It's just a different world, college to the pros. College is about recruiting mainly, and then scheme. You're dealing with young adults and teenagers. The pro's have you dealing with grown ass men, and it's just a different way. 

I relent on Carroll, the jury is certainly out on Rhule. Lincoln Riley is a life long college coach. The track record of those types of coaches is not very good in the NFL. The very fact that people are bringing up Vermeil/Walsh/Johnson, who were good almost 30 years ago is telling.

I hope not. I want a new vision for this offense. I am not sure that going back to the AR coaching tree will bring that.

Yep.  I'll be following the Chiefs for the foreseeable future.  I'm done with this nonsense. 

Bye.

Rarely post in here but need to get this off my chest.

This is yet another bad move by this organization.  $34 million is a lot to eat, but the deal was a bad one to begin with.  You’ve chosen Wentz and Roseman over Pederson, and while Pederson was part of the problem IMO he has the most salvage value.  I hope I’m wrong but I think this signals at least another 3-4 years of mediocrity before Lurie figures out it’s Roseman who is the problem at which point we dedicate to a real build.  It’s a shame because I think Hurts has some upside but by the time they commit to him, he’ll likely be nearing the end of his rookie deal and eyeing more favorable situations.  Lurie is such a schmuck

Just speculation on my part it’s either daboll or Kafka. I think daboll for what you said. Kafka cause they wanted him last year i believe for OC and i think they likely have been in contact with his agent. Could be someone else but I’d bet my money on one of those two guys. 

I want Sean McVay's clone as our play caller.

Wonder how Lurie’s conversations are going with Howie.  I think it is questionable that Howie survives this. 

You would have to hope...   Push him upstairs... demotion by promotion.  Just get him away from contracts and draft picks.  He can be in charge of in-game entertainment at the stadium... maybe in negotiating better deals with concessions...

Darkhorse candidate, Pep Hamilton

It's our time to suck for the next 5-6 years, it is what it is. At least we now have a Lombardi to fall back on.

Wanting someone as an OC is way different than wanting someone as a HC.   That is a big jump you maybe right but we will see.

I'd cross off Daboll. Too hot. He's going to get one of the other 6 to offer him the job.
