No, that's not what the tweet meant.  But to each, his own. 

The sub tweet to the original tweet was to show what you said. But the original tweet was to show the Andy Reid coaching tree and how all four of those teams have ties back to Andy Reid that are playing in the AFC playoff games this weekend.  

And my point still stands. two of those 4 teams are run first but come from Andy Reid‘s philosophy of pass first and when you get a lead you salted away with running. However those two team adapted to the personnel they have to win football games, play to their strengths and get to the playoffs which is something doug couldn’t figure out

Who’s on your list of coaches you’d be happy with ..... HC, OC, DC?

La Canfora is always wrong. Dude somehow gets paid to be wrong all the time. I could do that for half the cost.

I think they'll overcorrect here just like they do everything else. Wouldn't be surprised if the new coach picks his staff AND has a greater say in his personnel.

Well, with that penchant his career choices were sports insider or economist.

What a crock of crap statement by lurie. Like Berry was here for like 11 months and the browns knew who he was as he was there prior to here. That wasn’t some guy they built up from scratch. It’s as idiotic as the QB factory or gold standard statements. 

Lurie is the problem, because he actually believes this stuff.

Brady, Daboll, Riley, Bieniemy, Smith in that order.

Haven't really thought about coordinators yet honestly.

Not really that simple the eagles might want to go away from the reid tree to go with something new like they did with chip aka now Lincoln Riley. Won’t get a definitive answer to that unless someone on the chiefs actually says it. 

See, this is what happens when people don't take logic courses.  You create something with a limited likelihood of happening and then use the failure of that thing to happen as proof of your bias.  Confirmation bias fallacy.  

 

I'd like to sell you all a nice fire-breathing dragon repellent system.  If you act now, I'll throw in a unicorn repellent system free.  Guaranteed to free your home of all fire-dragon related disasters.

Yeah that’s kind of why I said you can’t just say because they don’t hire one of the Chiefs coordinators that the reason was because Andy told them not to take the job. You won’t ever have that confirmation to say that unless one of them comes out and says and he told us not to take the job. Them not hiring a Chiefs personnel might be for a numerous amount of other factors such as they don’t wanna go back to the read coaching tree this time or they weren’t impressed with either of the candidates and so on and so forth

I don't know if it was injuries or talent but their Oline sucked which is a big reason they aren't going to the SB. Definitely seems like a scapegoat firing

Wilson, Lockett, and DK were deadly

When Howard Eskin says that no one from the Andy Reid coaching tree will likely come here, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put 2 + 2 together. 

I was listening to WIP on the drive home from work and Eskin was on.  What he said was he thinks Bienemy will have his pick of HC jobs and there are much better choices than the Eagles (his opinion is the Chargers are the best spot because they have the young talented QB you can build around) and that Kafka will step into the OC role to replace him and that it's "pretty much written in stone" that's how it will play out.
However, he did say he doesn't think Daboll will come here because 1-He's not quite ready yet to take on a HC position unless it's absolutely the right situation and fit, and 2-That you have coaches in BUF that were here and can tell Daboll what the real inside machinations of the organization are and that could be off putting to him.

 

Riley, Brady, Daboll in that order

Sure... and I'll be your fall guy, but I will expect a fully guaranteed contract.   And I expect that the contract I sign will cover enough in salary for me to buy about 25 acres of top farm land, with a stream running through it (preferably with primarily southern facing slopes... no northern slopes, please)  and be able to move there and work remotely while be thrown under the bus by you.

the one he lit, yes. 

Pederson could have gone to Howie and said, look, I need a first rate OC to replace Reich, here's a list of top assistant coaches and a few HCs who are out of a job who I like (can't make lateral hires unless the old team lets him go, and what team will let go a top OC).

AR had a binder with these kind of decisions, that's how he wowed Lurie in the first place.

Chip was brilliant, the problem was they let his football acumen override the due diligence on his ego and stubbornness, I warned y'all that his personnel guy was an incompetent yes man, and sure enough, the worse draft of the decade was 2014, and 2015 was meh. Pederson was a pretty normal hire after a coach like Chip, to heal the clubhouse you want someone who can fix relations with your top players. Probably hoped Pederson would grow into the job, instead I think the SB convinced him he was smarter than he was - one sign of a top executive is hiring people smarter than you. Of course, who was the guy who we missed out and got fired by the Giants three years later?

I don't think they'll have any problem hiring a coach, Eagles have money, great facilities, and Howie is much easier to work with (because of the emphasis on consensus) than a strong GM who'd dictate to the HC. And I never want to see a HC who wants control over personnel, we've seen that fail twice. The key is to find a HC who can put together a solid staff and develop players - i.e. can we clone AR?

Just saying back in mid February before the combine and i mentioned DK metcalf as a guy i would like at 25 in that draft. The amount of ridicule i got because of his neck injury was through the roof and people didn’t want him due to that. So this wasn’t a everyone wants DK until he blew up the combine with his 40. 

i was not upset about not taking DI. I was pissed off they took JJAW instead of one of the many safety’s available when they needed to replace Malcolm and mcleod soon and JJAW was the exact opposite of what they needed at WR. 

I'll be honest and say the reason I wasn't high on Metcalf wasn't because of his neck injury, but because he only had 1 season of good college production, he was considered raw, he wasn't considered a good route runner and ran a limited route tree in college.  Sure, he was an athletic freakish specimen, but I saw him more as project than a WR that could come in and produce from the off.  I was dead wrong on that.  Though, I think the Seahawks used him near perfectly where he'd still be developing if we had drafted him.  So there's that.
