I can’t wait to see who he fills the staff out with.

Stout and Fipp are locks since Reich will vouch for them. Probably Peelle too.

Everyone else can go. 

Sirianni had such success developing WRs hopefully he can identify a like-minded candidate. 

Solak suggested the former Chargers OC as his OC due to familiarity and his job scheming up a good offense for Herbert. 

I don't understand how Fipp is a lock

He hasnt officially been hired yet. Eagles have said nothing. Its only reporters at this time saying Nick is the hire. 

So no word on anything from Eagles

actually on ESPNs bottom line it says the hire has been confirmed to Sal Pal by Howie Roseman. Sal Pal names a pretty reliable source Id say.

The singular instance of the Eagles not hiring a black HC doesn't mean they're racist but how come this happens collectively across the league year after year? It's hard to point the finger at any one individual franchise but how do you explain the collective trend?

I'd say first and foremost the candidates have to be known.  Besides Bieniemy, Bowles and Leslie Frazier, what black HC candidates were out there?

The Eagles have invested more in black QBs than any other franchise, far before it was "cool" to do so.

They invested in Cunningham, McNabb and Vick.

No one in the league wanted to touch Vick, but they rehabilitated him. They drafted Hurts in RD2 .

Dont forget Rodney Peete too.

Sigh... Lurie is the one owner you can’t really play the race card with. It’s nonsense. 

Five GMs and two were also the HC. Four HCs with the new hire.  Maybe a half dozen OCs.  Four DCs , one was Hispanic.  Of the coordinators, four hired as HCs by other clubs.  Right now, they have three minority assistant coaches, tow of which will coach at the Senior Bowl out of 9 assistant coaches and three position coaches out of seven. Way over proportion to the national race percentage breakdown.  Trotter is trying to make an issue where there isn’t one. I would also offer when you look at age, it like 3/5s minority. I do think merit is a factor.

Not saying hes not the hire, we all know he will be the hire. Just saying it has not been official by the Eagles.........YET.

So with that we know there is nothing about the PC yet until its at least made official by the team. Thats the question that was answered. 

I didn't know Skins were searching for a new GM but they hired 49ers executive Martin Mayhew

Seemed like a bunch of sites and reporters were getting names and faces mixed up between Martin and Marty Hurney lol

Maybe white people should start complaining about the lack of white players at CB and Safety in the NFL.  (just kidding)

Yes there are some minority hires just about each year.  Problem is certain people will complain regardless if they feel it's not enough.  

Question is what satisfies as enough?  In this years case there were 7 openings.  Would 3 or 4 be enough?  Are they looking for all 7 to be filled by minority?  Sometimes I think it's just people looking to complain about whatever they can.

agreed

Well, it's a lot more about race than you want to believe.

Studies have shown that a black name on a resume cuts in half your chance of being called for an interview.

Yes, a famous study showed that. However, there were major problems with that study (such as over dramatizing the cultural names). Subsequent studies have found that there is no difference in resume interview rates when traditional minority names are used.

Studies of police brutality are undecided whether you're more likely to be killed (all factors included) but are definitive that you're more likely to be brutalized.

Studies are definitive that black people are more likely to be brutalized by police?!?!?! Please. First, I'd love to know what you mean by brutalized. I assume that you're referring to force being used against a subject. However, the rates of force being used against blacks by the police are a direct reflection of rates of resisting arrest. 

Black men get longer jail sentences and are more likely to be arrested for the same offenses as white men.  And so forth.

There are a whole host of factors that cause this. Prior criminal history, arrests occuring in different jurisdictions, and most importantly, the court system having access to information that these studies simply don't have (ie. when someone is actively a subject of a homicide investigation and they get arrested for a separate burglary, their sentence for the burglary charge is likely to be more severe than another person's burglary sentence).

And 400 years of history mean that black families have far fewer economic resources, are more likely to live in areas with worse schools, worse health, etc. Their kids start life behind the 8-ball.

Guess what? A lot of people start life behind the 8-ball. People of all races, religions, and creeds have the deck stacked against them. That doesn't mean that the racism monster is hiding in every nook and cranny. 

Of course, if you're white and don't study American history or American economic history you're probably only vaguely aware of these facts.

Eyeroll

Now how to address these issues is more complex, and I don't want to get into that here, but there are legitimate grievances that don't rely on CRT.

draft a white RB, get a free draft pick back at the end of that round. Some kind of cool incentive. Maybe Patrick Laird should have been drafted higher and not buried on Miami's RB depth chart. Hes a very good player. And the only white RB I can think of in the NFL right now. 

One position you didnt mention is CB, and theyre even more scarce. I cant think of any white CBs currently, or even recently.

oh good a race debate again on the day we get a new coach

The last one I remember was Jason Sehorn. I absolutely hated that guy.

Sad part is you had to say "just kidding" Shouldn't feel bad for saying it, you have just as much right as someone saying the lack of minorities in coaching. Yes I know you were kidding, just saying cant be a double standard on anything. Best man for the job no matter what color. All lives matter LOL.

it was confirmed to Sal Pal  by Howie Roseman.

There seems to be a general consensus of opinion on many Eagles reporters on the hire:

-Made the hire with fixing Wentz in mind

-Think a guy without a lot of clout will be more amenable to Lurie/Howie telling him what to do

This makes the Hurts pick all the more infuriating if they're truly going all in on fixing Wentz.

Nothing they do is consistent.

Hurts was hired to be a backup/slash

They mentioned the RB from UNC who I mentioned awhile back in here and think he would be a great fit. If he's there in the 3rd I'd take him. Not sure if he makes it there though. He's a 3 down back that can run you over, make a guy miss, turn the corner and catch a pass down the sideline. Plus he's got the toughness and just enough power, think he would be a great compliment to Sanders. 

 

 

yes please.
