Exactly, just like it helped Doug when first hired. It was obvious how much better the offense was in 2016-2017 when Reich was here compared to the years after with Groh and basically Taylor (both completely inexperienced) serving in those roles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to have good flow though and this offense had no flow. So, if they have to check every faucet to make sure there is flow, then they should do it. The dilemma is do you go with the one lever of two separate handles? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If howie and Lurie continue to meddle and dictate to the coach his every move I imagine it will eventually lead to a frustrated coach with a group of discombobulated staff. The problem being Howie still gets to draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uscg-green Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The only problem right away I see is that this makes it obvious that Howie is still gonna be 100 percent in charge of the draft with little input probably. Ug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a good way to see if Duce has what it takes while learning the role. OK, so let's hire me to be the OC then, since it isn't a real job. Enough of the insane Duce worship among this fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to go, develop new relationships, and coach somewhere else. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an experienced OC to help Sirianni. We need a Reich to Sirianni as Doug. What we don't need is promoting a guy to a job that no one else would hire him for because he's been hanging around for almost a decade. That's how bad organizations make decisions.

Talonblood Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I just got in. I didn't see this one coming. I have to read all your comments and get caught up, read some articles, etc. I didn't even see this name in the mix- I guess I wasn't looking for his name. I heard it on the radio that he is the Eagles coach, and i am like... Who? What? Gotta get caught up. See you in an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_Eagle_Fan Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Initial reaction: who? After a few minutes to digest the hiring: curious to see who he assembles as part of his staff, hoping he's open-minded enough to always be considerate of changes. Dougie seemed to have gotten too big-headed after winning a Super Bowl. I'm willing to give him a chance. The last time the Eagles hired a guy who wasn't really on anyone's radar, he stuck around for fourteen years and became the winningest coach in franchise history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how bad organizations make decisions. Obviously he's done something right to survive two coaching changes. He has the respect of the locker room so that's a plus. Nowhere did I say he would be a home run. But he deserves his shot. He did enough to impress the owner. He was one of the finals in the running for HC.

The entertainment value would be over the top. But, he does fit the typical Lurie hire as HC, a guy under the radar and not on a lot of people's list. Siri, it is!

But since he won't keep the assistant head coach title, it's time for him to move on...if anyone wants him. He would be best served trying to be an OC in college. Why would Duce leave now? He's probably Lowie's spy in the coaching staff at this point having been here under 3 different head coaches already. If Lowie tries to keep him we'll know its true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
