I don't disagree at all.  I said as much.  All I am saying to other posters is spare me the, "I think we got the right guy" nonsense and "why does it matter he was like #20 on their list".  Uhh, it's a red flag.  If he turns out to be a good HC, those two dolts got lucky as hll.  Because they have no idea what they are doing.  

We can't do much about our delusional owner or incompetent GM.  We just got to hope we can find lighting in a bottle again.  I don't know ish about the new coach but he intrigues me.  I will have a better feel about next year after he picks his staff and we draft our first round pick.

It matters because it shows he wasn't the 1st, 2nd, 3rd.......and on and on option.  I'm surprised I even have to explain that.  But then again....maybe I shouldn't be.  

 

Here we go with using normal job situations as it compares to an NFL franchise again.  LOL...  Yes.  Hiring an NFL head coach is exactly like a random hiring process.....As in NOT AT ALL!!!  It's not like they posted the job for a certain period of time and then started to interview candidates that applied.  It's the NFL.  They should have had a list of targets.....short list or long list....but a list.  Your job, my job, most of our jobs don't operate that way.  

 

Whoever they hired, they were going to get chastised for it.  They fired their HC a week after he stood up at a PC with the GM.  They interviewed a ton of people.....the process dragged on and it got late.  Whoever they announced today or tomorrow would have been met with some trepidation.  Don't be so naïve.  And sensitive.  GD man, you have like 4 other teams to root for....relax.  

 

I'm not blaming Nick Siri...I'm blaming Lowie.  They are a joke.  

Nah take a step back, You are actually mad, because during the interview process they found a guy they really really liked, that might not have been one of their top picks going in? 

I mean, what your saying is, why do the interviews at all then. Just rank them 1st,2nd and 3rd. LOL Cmon man, I thought you were more of a critical thinker than this.

Seems to be well respected with past players as well as members of his old coaching staff.

 

I haven't seen one bad comment about him yet which is refreshing.  I assume we will get the ESPN guys on here soon complain about the color of his skin but other than that it is refreshing to have to the other team pissed about the hire and all the positive remarks. 

A name I keep hearing as a possible HC is Matt Campbell from Iowa State.  Not this year but maybe next year.  Dont know much about him but is he a minority?

@4for4EaglesNest remember your comment earlier today of "12 personnel fan”

That is NOT important.  Especially since Mathis was gone before he got to Indy.  

He's been on the coaching staff in Indy since 2017

Will be very interested to see the staff Nick brings in. Next week should be informative.

I think Bieniemy will get the Texans job.  

But other minority candidates dont get me excited.  Bowles, Frazier, etc.

I hope we don't live in 12 personnel with Sirianni. It's a big play league, and you're a lot less likely to make big plays in the passing game in 12.

Marlon Mack is a FA this year.  Coming off an injury....maybe Siri can get him here on a cheap prove you're healthy deal.

would LOVE that. 

Just now, 4for4EaglesNest said:

You want me to be excited about a guy who Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie like?

 

No, you certainly have a right to question that.  I am actually glad they let the interview process do what it was supposed to do.

 

  I dont think it's a bad hire. It may turn out to be, Like Chip was.  But Lurie has done alright in hiring HC's for the most part. We have been ultimately way more successful since he has bought the team then before in my lifetime. He got rid of Dougy in the right time frame, Got rid of Chip when he needed to, Held onto AR a bit too long in my estimation. 

But everyone hated the Dougy hire, and that brought us a SB. so.... who knows.

I can't Fing believe this team fired Doug Pederson. It's infuriating. He should still be here. Especially if Howie is still here. There's no way with a straight face they can think they're better off today than they were the day before they fired Doug.

Everything this organization does is ass Fing backwards with Lurie. The writing was on the wall when they fired Doug last minute and Lurie did a complete 180. And if they hired Sirianni to appease Wentz, that makes it even worse. We'll find out in time if that was the case.

Everything about their whole process is a total joke. This organization is in so much trouble it's hard to put into words. Just a bleak bleak future with little hope for the short term future.

As maddening was it was to keep Howie and scapegoat Doug for everything, I could've at least been somewhat excited about Joe Brady -  a high upside guy thought of to be super bright, but a little raw in coaching. I agree with those who said you swing for the fences for a special mind. Sirianni doesn't feel like that. Regardless, the guy is set up to fail. This roster sucks, the cap situation sucks, and apparently they'll be trying to spend another year fixing the most broken QB in the NFL.

Depressing as hell

I think some coaches said no because they don't want to deal with Howie

Did Colts use 12 a lot?

Colts were in 12 personnel 18%, 26% and 21% the last three years. With the probability of losing Ertz, I don't think he will live in it but will use it occasionally.

The fact that so many of the "hot name" coaches wanted no part of this mess made this whole thing infuriating from the jump.

People can like/not like whatever hire they want, that's their choice. But for me, I'm sorry, I'm not going to even pretend to remotely be ok with this for all the obvious reasons. That a SB winning coach was fired to get here, and only fired because they tried to dictate to him what his own coaching staff should be.

That Lurie didn't fire the man responsible for destroying this roster and give Doug the talent he needed to succeed at a higher level.

That this organization was universally viewed as one of the least attractive destinations so as fans we had to accept before the process even began that "we aren't getting any of the top names." I'm sorry, but F that. That should piss people off. How far we've fallen in only a few short years that we have to Fing settle on a coach. We are the Philadelphia Eagles, not the Fing New York Jets who've won jack crap in ages. But we're here because the guys at the top are Fing clueless, and I was looking for just a morsel of hope. Something to give me something to feel good about going forward. I got none of that.

I mean, I already expected this team to suck for at least 3 years, I've said that numerous times, but I was at least hoping for something small to hang onto to give hope for the welfare of our future. Didn't even get that. Maybe that's my fault for expecting that much. Anyway, it's so exhausting rooting for something you know is probably gonna suck next season and the current season isn't even over yet.

There is actually a video on Nick and how he explains he runs the offense and builds the game plan around the run game. He is a run first guy who used an established run game to open up the playaction/pass game. Id expect 12 personal to be used quite a bit. Best get use tot he idea :)

Cool. Yeah, I agree then. Differentiating between he and Reich is difficult, there's a lot of unknown with what he'll want to do on offense. I'm intrigued.

Sign me up as well. The Eagles really need to get another RB who can legit carry the ball multiple times a game and that isn't Boston Scott.

That was my point earlier this morning. With ertz gone and dick rod an unknown to be back, you have goedert as the only proven tight end. Have a bunch of guys who are trying to develop. I’m guessing they add a veteran and draft one late. The colts had Doyle, burton, Allie moe-Cox and burton and they still only used it 21%. They used a lot more 11 personnel with pascal, Hilton and pittsman later in the year.

I'm not against it. It gets you favorable matchups in the run and pass game. I just don't want to use it as much as we have the last few years. We need more big plays.

Sorry blog i went to the interview and i thought i did well enough to be the lead candidate. Showed them the staff I put together. it looks like we are going to have to settle for the texans job and not the eagles after they hired Siri

I told you that having @greend as your top choice for d-coordinator was not a going to work.

Not when we draft Pitts at 6.
