While Fipps ST unit had not been good there were reports literally a couple weeks ago speaking about the eagles blocking him from interviewing with another team. Now they let him? Cut throat business Wanted to hire a HC first and see if new HC wanted to keep Fipp or not. I assume Sirianni said, "no thanks. No more Greg Ward fair catching punts with 10 yards of open space in front of him. Fipp can go interview elsewhere.” You know, to paraphrase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lets not forget Elliott who is horrible at kicking extra points and at ranges of 30-39 yards, I never understood why Fipp or Pederson for that matter didn’t at least bring in some competition at the kicker position. Sirianni probably said there is no way in hell I’m going for 2 every time we score because my kicker sucks. Lets see if Elliot rebounds with a different coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His special teams units haven't been very special the past few years. They are more just "teams" haha. The only coach I'd like to see retained is Stoutland. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesfan0075 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If Jim Caldwell doesn't get the Texans HC job, we should be interviewing him for the OC spot. Anthony Lynn took the Lions OC job and Pep Hamilton already has a few OC interviews lined up. As above posters mentioned, it's possible that Sirianni brings in someone like Mike McCoy, Ken Whisenhunt, or Todd Haley to be his OC since they've all been HC and he has ties to them. I would prefer Caldwell to these guys, but I guess any of these guys is probably better than a young unproven assistant coach to pair with Sirianni. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can thank Howie for that since the contract he signed Elliott to made it so that we can't move on from him until 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier, if you’re going to hire a veteran coordinator to pair with a young head coach, it needs to be someone who is willing check their ego. Last thing you want is a veteran coach who thinks he knows everything and undermines the head coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Caldwell doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would undermine a young head coach, but you do have a valid point there. It would certainly depend on the individual. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to me that is definitely the direction we should go. But the way things are looking, we are probably going to get some no name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Does it look- even a little bit... like the FO is allowing Siri to bring in some of HIS guys? He is bringing in a few Colts guys, so maybe How_Lurie monster is seeing the importance of allowing a HC to do so once again. Update: Siri worked closely with Chargers OC Shane Steichen before, and he could become the OC here. So he is bringing in his guys for sure. It's not a done deal, but a good possibility. That's a good thing, having worked with all these guys before. I am definitely a fan of the FO allowing a HC to choose his own staff. It's a very good sign. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaff Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 When did they not let Doug bring in "his guys”? I don’t really blame them for not being okay with Doug simply wanting to promote from within after this disastrous season. The Eagles obviously needed to bring in some people with fresh ideas, but Doug didn’t want to do that. I think moving to a new team will help Duce in his career.

Well, Anthony Lynn is the closest example of RB coach to HC, but even he got a brief less than 1 year stint as an interim HC/OC before getting his HC gig. Duce just needs to get a OC job somewhere and it probably won't be here if he already turned it down in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
