Just saying the cardinals haven’t exactly been the epitome of good front office decisions. They hired and fired a coach after one year when he was given he was an awful roster. He stunk as a coach but they basically also gave him crap. And then they hired a bad college coach who now stinks in the nfl 

Now the Duce smoke is starting to heat up...

Do you realize the argument you're making?  

Great interview by jon Ritchie on cowherd. I tend to dislike cowherd but that was a good interview.

Pederson is your typical passive-aggressive personality, he whines about having coaches forced on him, yet all his choices are subordinates who won't threaten him.

Notice Pederson never lobbied to add a top OC candidate, like gee, I need someone up and coming like Kafka. No he wanted Groh, then Taylor.

The real problem was after winning the SB, they couldn't fire Pederson and replace him with Reich.

What I think Howie wants in a HC is someone between Chip's megalomania and Pederson's insecurity, that is, a HC who isn't a control freak and has no problem hiring top flight assistants and letting them have some of the credit. AR in KC after he was humbled when he ran into the Peter Principle.

Taylor was considered up and coming...

Well, as the appointed Emotional Intelligence Coordinator, I’ll look into it.  

Appointed?  I want the job as well.  We have to compete just like Wentz and Hurts.  Here is my first Emotional Intelligence statement:

HOWIE SUCKS

I don’t think cowherd show has posted it yet. I’ll try to find it later 

Why is everyone against Duce? He wouldn’t be calling the plays anyway. If the players can rally around him, why not? He’s seen what it takes to win the Super Bowl. Hopefully he’s seen that delegating tasks is helpful.

Well when Jeff Lurie was asked about interviewing minorities he said he had some African Americans lined up....so there's that.  You're fooling yourself if you don't think it's geared towards AA. 

I'm not fooling myself about anything. People said Bowles was just a Rooney Rule checkoff.  My point here is that Lurie is committed to interviewing minority candidates, not just doing one to satisfy the rule (it's 2 now, one has to be external).  So he could interview Staley and Bowles to satisfy it, but he's also interviewing a Lebanese coach and given his stance on racial justice and hiring a black HC in Rhodes before the Rooney rule existed, I don't believe that Lurie wants to just satisfy the Rooney Rule.  He said it was "top of his mind" to bring in minority candidates.

If the Eagles strike out on all the top names would anyone be interested in Josh McDaniels?

He was a hot name in recent years, and that stunt he pulled with Indy turned a lot of people off, but he built good offenses in Denver with Kyle Orton. He was the only one who ever made Orton look good.

This season NE's offense wasn't great, but they have no WRs, and Cam is shot.

If the goal is getting the most out of QB, I'd rather have him than say Todd Bowles. I've always loved the offenses they ran in NE. Rub routes, picks, scheming guys open routinely.

This is interesting though.  Roseman consulted Lincoln Riley on draft picks in the past including Reagor, and Riley said the Eagles have a "detailed plan" for Jalen Hurts.

https://www.inquirer.com/sports/why-eagles-took-jalen-hurts-nfl-draft-after-carson-wentz-deal-20200801.html

"Detailed" plan?  I didn't see that during the games... what I saw was more of this: 

 

Doug didn't like Howie's plan.   Lurie is Cartman.

 

 

The main one for me is he can't rotate backs properly 

What do u think he will do with a whole team

No thanks

Geez was kinda hoping the top of his mind was hiring the best coach available. If he/she's a minority so be it.

It's really silly. When you have guys like Chris Long and Malcolm Jenkins coming out and saying he is a great leader and should be the head coach, that's good enough for me,. Furthermore, I like the potential structure of a head coach just running the team, and bringing in young up and coming coaches from the outside to run the defense and offense. Lastly, this is a guy who has been here for years and as a minority in a business that has little to no diversity with head coaches I would be proud of the organization for giving him a shot.

Lurie is committed to being progressive and giving minorities opportunities far beyond the Rooney rule. If people don't realize that by now with Duce, Bowles, and Saleh all likely to be interviewed I don't know what to tell them.

That is an interesting twist if true. 

That's not an interesting twist... that was put out at the time.   The idea that Doug was the one behind the Hurts pick is laughable.  He seemed happy with it, but I don't think it was his choice.

I dont get the bolded out of it. He left the door open for all possibilities. Wentz is still in his 20's, QB's play well into their 30's, so I believe you are reading something into something that isn't there. He clearly was non committal either way, stating something like: that should not be the owners decision. 

I know I’m late on this but Laurie specifically said that isn’t a call an owner should make. I’d say they probably have a preference of how they want it to work out, but until you hire a coach, and then see what return either QB will get you, I doubt there is any decision made.
