Lmao and Doug was coaching for like 7 years before we hired him... Doesn’t mean anything... in fact im More concerned that he has only coached here in Philly nowhere else to be honest. Who does Duce know to hire on his staff who is his OC, who is the DC??? He might have leftover from Chip staff same as Doug did. 

Ped was never a HC until he came here. I see no difference except that Duce know how this team works

Bye Duce lol I’m not hiring him as my HC because I’m scared of losing him as my RBs coach sorry

Then why are we interviewing him? Because we're bored?

THATS MY POINT!!!!! There is no difference between Doug/Duce and do we remember who was hired by Doug on his staff??? His best hire was his best friend Riech after that nobodies

Yes there is a difference. Duce knows how this team functions, Ped had no clue(and apparently never did or he would still be here). Reich is gone, that's the past. I am looking AHEAD

Lmao I’m not against Duce but if you delusional on concerns that you should have with him I can’t help you... Duce could do a ton to help relief those concerns in the interview he could have coached in place idk I’m not interviewing him why we should be but that still would be my #1 concern with hiring him is the staff he can build

What's delusional is ignoring him and wanting to replace yet another staff guy which only adds to the problems we already have. Howie decides on the staff,please. I can;t help you if you don't know who RUNS this team

So Duce the figure head coach got you that basically all he would be Howie is technically the HC since he would hire the entire staff

Who said ignore him???? Damn read a post homie... Massive difference  from ignoring someone and having concerning that you would like answered.

LOL same "concerns" we'd have with anyone. Thats why we interview multiple people

If that’s the case don’t hire a HC what’s the point give the title to Howie and just hire OC and DC no need for a HC then he does nothing 

So explain to me then why Duce got the "asst HC" designation?(I can explain it)

No it isn’t I’d have no concerns on lots of coaches ability to build a staff.

We should because he runs this team.If we aren't going to give this coach free reign we may as well make Howie the HC too

Lmao 😂 damn your all over the place and just chatting randomly on nonsense that doesn’t have anything to do with a concern and a legit one at that.

Lmao 😂 you have no clue what going to happen with another coach... You seem to just want a puppet HC so Howie can run the team entirely the scapegoat him

Right so why would you have more concerns with Duce than someone else????

mao 😂 you have no clue what going to happen with another coach

And i'm sure you do know??? AMAZING insight

SO,don;t you "normally" promote your asst mgr to mgr when the time comes? Why is Duce different? he is ALREADY asst HC and if you are an asst someplace and constantly passed over,how long until you find another company that will make you a manager? My guess is 7 years

Note- Duce is not the "interim" HC he is the asst HC and has been

if it's nonsense then answer the question. How did Duce become an asst HC? And why would we bother to give him that title?

Smith to ATL. it's thinning out now

  This would be a huge mistake.

Why?

Some thoughts on the team right now.

1. I would hire Duce as the head coach. The players seem to really like him, and that's probably the biggest obstacle a new coach has. Some coaches - Patricia and Gase come to mind - fail because their players hate them. Duce already has the locker room, and it makes no sense to not take advantage of that. In reality, the important hires are probably the OC and QB coach.

2. I really think it would be a mistake to go into camp with both Hurts and Wentz on the roster. if your personnel department can't figure out which guy is better, despite seeing them both practice and play for a season, then it's time to hire a new personnel department. If Wentz is the guy, extend him and make it clear. If Hurts is the guy, trade Wentz. But if you don't know which guy is the guy, then find someone who does.

3. There's a scene in Moneyball where the GM says, "If the guy's a good hitter, then why doesn't he hit good?" The same is true for our drafting. We miss way too many times. This draft we need to get a future pro bowler at #6, legit day 1 starters in the second and third rounds and good depth from the rest of the draft. This team is devoid of talent at so many positions due to poor drafting, and we keep having to play PS-level players because our draft picks can't beat out UDFAs for roster spots. Davion Taylor? What are we even doing?

4. The owner is meddling way too much. It's clear as day that he is influencing football decisions, from draft picks to position coaching hires. And that's a bad sign. Last year Doug wasn't allowed to pick his staff, which is crazy. Suddenly Howie Roseman/Jeffrey Lurie know what credentials a WR coach needs to have? Let the coach pick his guys. There is not a single successful team in the NFL that has an owner that makes football decisions for them. The Browns owner was outed for demanding the team take Johnny Manziel, and that's the last time the owner meddled in the draft, since he looked like an idiot to the entire world.
