Still the Eagles look bad firing their coach after one losing season twice now. Seriously how can a coach worth his salt would want to be here? Well I don’t dispute the claims that Doug was tired of being told what to do, but Doug didn’t help himself either. Doug could have held his assistants more accountable and demanded better, and if better was not met then you would be fired. Doug was too loyal to his staff and time ran out for him.

I think when Doug when realized that Howie was staying decided he had enough. I would, who wants to be in a managerial position where they have zero say in anything and get blamed when things go wrong. If I were doug I would have done exactly what he did, I would have said this sucks I'm going to make some ridiculous suggestions like Press to OC and Undlin to DC and that for sure will get me fired so it doesn't look like I quit. Lurie needs to get rid of Howie as he's not going to find a coach that wants to work under that power structure and if they do that coach won't last long or will want out. Be much easier to fire howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I am pretty alone with that opinion.. its still true though if you look at it without your anger over a terrible season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we won't cut all of our vets. Mailata looked better than we could have expected and there's hope there. Sanders can't be the lead back it seems and Goedert well he didn't exactly have this huge year despite Ertz fading away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean again it just looks like a complete mess of a situation really. Not only that they basically put it all on Doug with that Washington game. They basically hung him out to dry just like they did last year by letting him do that interview and then promptly firing his guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wentz comes back, he is in for 16 road games because of these reports/rumors. This relationship with the fanbase affects the bottom line. Its going to be a tough decision to make Play well and they will love him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Q: How many Pro Bowl players has Howie drafted in the last 7 seasons? A: One. Carson Wentz in 2016. But it must be a coaching issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means better coaching. Look at the teams in the playoffs right now, most don’t have great players at every position. We need coaches to get the best out of the players no matter if your a 4th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back in the Eagles history and you will see all the FO/NFL minds he outlasted too. Yup its amazing and Scary that a non football bean counter has outlasted so many guys with so more much experience In football and the NFL. I've never really liked howie, even after 2017 I slept with one eyed open cuz snakes don't change their scales, well, except when they shed their skin but underneath they're still snakes. Howie is a snake apparently a durable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkvol Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 What I would find hysterical if it wasn't so hard to believe is that Lurie was unhappy with Pederson's plan and vision, yet he is evidently satisfied with the way that Roseman has handled drafts and the roster as a whole, as well as the cap situation. To the point that he is entrusting him to hire yet another head coach and resurrect a roster over which he has overseen the decimation. Complete madness.

vsptroops Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 10 minutes ago, Djkenny13 said: I think the main reason Howie keeps his job is Bc of the Eagles Cap situation. Although they can roll money over from this year, who else can get them out of this situation? Thats a main reason I think he’s safe So the same guy that got then into cap hell is supposed to get them out of it? This isn't the early to mid 90's anymore. There are lots of capologists out there that can do better than Howie. Howie is there because he is bff's with the owner. Thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to compare this situation to another team, it would be the 2000's R-words with Snyder and Cerrato. What did that get them? A lot of 5 or 6 win seasons with a 9 win season sprinkled in. Buckle up fellow fans, the league is about to go in on us dry. We've become the Washington Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they will interview Duce for the job, but I would hate to see him hired and he falls flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
