Mr_Philly Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I liked Saleh but I prefer an offensive minded coach, seems like the Eagles are leaning that way as well. I’m hoping it’s Daboll or Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie is the one with full control around here bud, and we already have a quarterback with way too much power. Too bad he’s not as talented as Watson though.

SBorBust Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Eric Bieniemy must not be overly impressive. This is the second year in a row teams are pressured to hire him and he doesn’t seem to generate much real buzz. We’ll see what happens going forward. Maybe he goes to Houston.

I would say it ends up being Brady, Smith, or Duce. I would be surprised if Daboll doesn't end up with the Chargers though I'm guessing they will pursue him. I think Saleh is going to be a good coach and he has the right mentality for Philly but I don't see Lurie hiring a defensive guy especially with the QB situation the way it is right now. Judging by the people they have been requesting it seems like they’re going with mostly younger candidates or candidates in their mind they can somewhat control. The fact they lost out to the Jets for Saleh says a lot. He would rather deal with Darnold or a rookie QB and Douglas than Wentz and Howie.

CheesesteakNBeer Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Why not just hire Howie for head coach? Than he can hire the coordinators to run the team? If he has final say anyway what would be the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho Grande Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Sounds like Facons are making a hard push to get a deal done once they heard Lurie was impressed with their favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too, but they seem to be requesting a lot more DCs than I was expecting. Will be interesting to see if they hire some coordinators before they hire a coach again.

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Boys, we are about to do this round and round and round and end up in house. That's going to be a little disappointing, but it will definitely put the pressure onto Lurie and Roseman for leading a search with a questionable result...AGAIN.

EaglesAddict Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Why isn't Pep Hamilton getting any buzz? If F'ing Mike Kafka has been mentioned...and Jerod Mayo...why wouldn't Pep Hamilton be in the conversation? Seems like he has just as good of a resume as the others, did I miss something on him?

flyerdog Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 yeah...all these guys are latching on pretty quick..Meyer in Jax, Saleh in NY, Smith in ATL..... might be Duce by default what worries me is the dynamic in place...if Aikman's comments had any ring of truth and that it was the Wentz vs Hurts decision that played a part in Doug's fate...this does not bode well for any outside HC candidate.... If Lurie/Howie ask a candidate point blank who he prefers..and he says "Hurts"...does that mean they don't hire him? This is troubling, and then this whole game really becomes Lurie trying to justify the contract and MAKE any HC conform to it.... this HC vacancy is probably the least desirable because of the mess.... JAX will get a generational talent to build on NYJ will also get a new franchise QB to build with (most likely) ATL: most likely same thing..will probably draft a QB and start the rebuild LAC: have their franchise QB and some pieces in place meanwhile at the Novacare: QB situation a mess WR: a mess LBs: never valued since Jim Johnson DBs: depleted talent Salary Cap HELL Owner/GM to openly undermine the HC by firing staff after said HC gives his endorsement so who WOULD want to come here???

Besides the meddling owner and GM being involved way too much in football operations (game day roster, etc.) and the crappy cap situation, the lack of top end talent is glaring as well. Atlanta has a better roster overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing Duce, hope it works out like that pickle juice game in Dallas. I hate statements like this. They have 2 capable QBs in Hurts and Wentz if he stays and in the right system. If the Jets and Jags can get their coach then the Eagles are fine. It's not like they won't go into the season with a legit coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably thought that way about the Jets and Jags too I'm a huge Jeff Lurie fan, best owner of any of my teams in any sport by a mile. The eagles have always been a prime destination for FA and coaches since his arrival. but right now, we are on the exact opposite of that spectrum. Meddling owner, bad GM entrenched in power, Qb controversey decided by FO before you even arrive. Ageing roster with almost no young takent and sal cap hell. Wake up dude, this is exactly the same situation we laughed at franchises like the Redskins for having. The Jets and Falcons are close to the bottom as well, but at least those franchises offer something of a potential clean slate and that's what all new HC's want.

The Chargers already interviewed Daboll and are a more desirable situation, so I doubt he'd pick the Eagles if offered an interview. Bieniemy is already in consideration for multiple jobs. Maybe the Eagles should bring Brady in for his second interview instead of banking on landing Daboll or Bieniemy? Brady also already interviewed with the Chargers.

Mr_Philly Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This board never stops entertaining me, Arthur Smith has a very low percentage in the poll above but now that Atlanta snags him Philly is going to get a nobody coach or settle for Duce. Relax people, there are still a lot good coaching candidates left including ones from teams still in the playoffs, the Eagles are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
