I’m going off Bo Wulf and Caplan/Mosher saying he was high on their list all along and Lurie has always liked Josh.

 

This isn’t completely accurate. Is there an aspect of me being bitter for not getting my way? Of course. That’s a part of being a fan. I’m an absolute C when I don’t get my way. But there’s more to it besides that. For one, I want Joe Brady more than I want McDaniels. I just think it’s obvious he isn’t in the mix anymore, so I don’t bring him up as much. McDaniels was 4th on my list behind Riley, Brady, Daboll a week ago. I’d be fine with McDaniels but I’m not gushing over the guy.

The interview process is only part of it. I don’t think you can hire someone solely based off an interview. Body of work has to factor in too. Say what you want about McDaniels, but it’s undeniable his resume is superior to Sirianni’s.

I mean so did Adam Gase cause he had Peyton manning. That seemed to work out great. I love people on this board downplay other candidates but mcdaniels has flaws and failed without Brady and Brady has proven to be elite without him. And other coaches got more out of Bradford then mcdaniels. yet he’s flawless and unquestioned and we attack other candidates. Like sirianni has his own flaws too. He’s not perfect either.

And yet it has nothing to do with their "plan" or lack thereof. If they like Sirianni better then they do. As impatient as I've been I think the Eagles went about this the right way. Interview everyone and see who's a fit and/or who they like better.

I mean, if the logic is that we gotta be cool with whomever they hire because they crushed it in the interview, then that should apply universally. If they brought in Greg Lewis for an interview and hired him, the same logic would apply. Or anyone else. Hell, if they brought Adam Gase in and he crushed the interview it should apply as well. Let's be real, no Eagles fans would be down with that hire.

At the end of the day, not getting your preference is always going to factor into how much any fan accepts or doesn't accept a hire, but I don't even dislike Sirianni. It's a combination of me preferring others and them hiring the protege of the protege of the man they just fired(who won a SB) that would piss me off. But I don't believe in just accepting whomever they pick and just going along with it. If people actually legitimately like the hire that's fine, but no one should ever like something just because they feel obligated to agree with their team's process.

Idk i feel like that fan base can relate to that type of presser he gave. It’s what they’ve all felt for 50-60 years of being a lions fan. Normally I’d agree with you but I’m this case i feel like that fan base needed something like that. He winds up failing cause it’s the lions and they are going to be the lions. 

Sounds to me like he just skipped lunch.  He won't stop talking about eating and taking chunks out of kneecaps and coming back for more.

And Sirianni could be a way better coach than McDaniels will ever be. No one knows. I'm just saying I don't think a team should reward someone a job solely on who wins the interview. At least I'd hope not. Someone may be super charismatic and likeable, but may not be a great coach. That doesn't mean that the better interview will not have proven to be the better choice in the end, but I think over a large sample, just picking the best interview is a flawed process. JMO.

No one is telling you have to be happy about it. However when you go I’m gonna take my ball go home because it’s not the candidate you like and you just give up on the team that’s when people have issues with it.

I don’t particularly love Josh McDaniels however if they hired him as the coach I’m willing to give him a chance and see where it goes. Frankly because I can’t change it because I’m not the owner. However with you it is  "well if it’s not Josh McDaniels that means her plan was stupid all along and I’m not gonna be here anymore and I’m done with them.” That seems kind of ridiculous

Belichick and AR invest 0 energy into putting up a front.

If Andy had a sign like that it would read:

ANDY REID

I think some of the folks around here are secretly fans of 'say yes to the dress'... my wife is obsessed with that show and watches it on her phone.. and I can't for the life of me figure out the allure.

My favorite is when my wife and daughters say they want to watch something we can all agree on and that's what they picked.  It's tyranny of the majority over my son and me.

You really believe the only reason they’re hiring him if they do it over McDaniels was his interview? I am guessing they also like the fact that he was good at player development. They probably like his pedigree of coaching family. Probably have a bunch of reasons along with what they heard from other organizations and coaches. 

Just like McDaniels it wasn’t just the interview. There’s things in his past are are good and there’s things in his past that are really bad. They probably wait all those things into it. It’s probably why it’s taken them this long to make a decision with him.

I have no idea. What the team does anymore defies all logic. Lurie just had a press conference where he absolved Howie of all blame for any roster decision. If the Eagles flipped a coin and picked a coach it wouldn't surprise me.

Would you honestly be stunned if say they thought they were leaning McDaniels or Brady, but Sirianni came in there and charmed Lurie and drove home some trite talking point, a la Andy Reid's infamous harping on the importance of the long snapper in his interview with Lurie, and Lurie came away so impressed with his nuance and that Lurie came out of the interview going "We gotta bring this guy in here, he's so unique!"

 

BOOM

 

Yes it is Sirianni.  I like it better than McDaniels

Who knows what McDaniels wants in a contract.  I think that could also be an issue. I don't think they're just leaving him in limbo.  I would imagine they are still trying to find out information.  

Hope he does great. Thank god it wasn’t McD. 

Now get Jonathan Gannon in here

 

They hired a guy because they thought he would fix Wentz. LOL.

Fascinating. Who knows how this will go. Could easily bottom out in two years, could also be a great young offensive head coach.

It's not a gimmicky college coach and its not an Andy Reid tree hire or retread coach. It's something new, and that's exciting. 

lets hope he learned something from reich....

Yeah!
