When a young QB has success, it's never just one guy. Both Hamilton/Streichen did a good job.

Wasn't Pep Hamilton OC for the Colts back when they had Luck one of those years and their offense wasn't great? I can't remember, maybe I was thinking of someone else.

Re Gannon. The rumor was McDaniels wanted to bring him in as DC. That’s probably where he heard the name before meeting with Sirianni. 

I guess we’re bringing in a new DB coach.

Will Patullo be the QB coach as well as pass game coordinator I wonder?  That’s how the Eagles had it structured with Press Taylor

I see he was the Jets QB coach in 2015 and 2016.

Never do anything the same way that the Jets did...

Yes but he was pretty much a scapegoat. Luck was banged up and in and out of the lineup all year and the other two years the Colts went 11-5 and 3-2 in the playoffs. His one year as full time coordinator they were 4th in yards and 6th in points.

Outside of Stoutland there isn't anyone I'm concerned with losing. They needed to flush the toilet on the old coaching staff.

I agree. The only guys I truly wanted to keep were Stout and Peele. Couldn’t care less about the rest.

My 'scrutiny of blame' for a team's problems becomes more narrow and focused over time. 1-2 seasons it can be player related. 3-5 it's in the coaches, and longer than that, it's a problem with FO and owner. Here's to a great year!

 

 

I kinda feel bad for Sirianni. Thanks to Howie, fans likely won't even get to fairly judge him as a coach in his first year since the roster will probably be awful. But he'll get the heat for it, because that's what happens.

Then again, the city has so turned on Howie to such an unprecedented level, maybe there will be patience with him if the team sucks early.

The fans seem apathetic toward Sirianni, which might be worse.

Overall, they probably are. Maybe he can hit it out of the park at his PC, hopefully not doing whatever it was Matt Campbell did, and get the fan base to buy in.

Personally, the recent hiring's of the last week have turned me from apathetic to excited. And not because I think Sirianni is going to be guaranteed to be some slam dunk coach. Things will hopefully just finally look different and new.

I always find coaching changes exciting. Now if we had hired Bowles or McDaniels, it would have been the greatest challenge to my die-hard Eagles fandom. 

The new HC is putting his staff together and many of the existing ones are being replaced.  Understandable that the HC wants his own staff.  Wonder if he will have someone with experience to guide the managing a team and a new culture of the team.

Trotter's had an agenda for a while now.

I've been a long time lurker and appreciator of "the blog." Going back to douglas704 days. I understand now that without a much greater investment of time and energy my occasional efforts to contribute to the discussion are not appreciated. And I don't mean this in a wimpering "woe is me" way. I really do get that this community needs ways of moderating who is in and who is out to keep the discussion at a certain level. Basic sociology. All good. Just maybe reflect on whether calling everyone you're unfamiliar with a "clone" of someone else you don't like is really the best way. Or maybe just carry on as you were.

I'll go back to lurking and liking now.

You never seem to like any of my posts because I dont recognize the name. Whats up with that?

With the eagles cap situation being what it is I wonder if Gannon could convince hooker to come to the eagles as a FA on a relatively cheap deal for 2021. I get he has a ton of injury past (insert joke about fitting in here) but if you get him cheap and manages to pull a robinson it could be a huge pickup for the eagles. I wouldn’t expect it but he’s still young and in a rebuild I’d be willing to take a chance at hitting if he comes cheap. 

i feel dirty for posting ESP article but he actually wasn’t a complete idiot on this list. Still an idiot just not this article. So a blind squirrel does find a nut. 

 

I love that list. I wish we could actually afford them. 

What a year to not have cap room, WR class is pretty good in free agency.

I guess Parks tweet was in regards to the WRs being schematically asked to be precise in their cuts and being required to not be lazy out there. Gonna be a hard work for some of them!
