The dude cannot even get the RB Rotation right and you want him to run the Team? Seriously? Give the dude a OC position first or something to see if he has the brains. To jump right to HC? No F'n WAY!

    I am concerned that the Eagles are not interviewing anyone though. What are they waiting for? Cannot they interview the OC for Buffalo yet? ow about college coaches?Anyone there worth interviewing? This is important they get someone in here as the draft is closer than we think.

Rotation? We have basically 1 RB worth anything(and he was out for a few games). Hard to rotate players you DONT have with a coach that went away from the running game as fast as he possibly could

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.  

f they Hire Duce as HC I am done with the Eagles, that is how strongly I feel about it.

Right and when they did have him he ran twice in the 2nd half

Because Ped went away from the running game lol. How is that Duces fault? Also difficult to have successful RB's when your Oline sucks rocks and can't open a hole big enough to get a shoehorn through

#4 is my most worrisome thing

They ran the ball more than twice! Crap, they ran Scott like 6 times and Clement a few times. Sanders... twice. I give up. If you want him fine. If they hire him I am looking for another team. I am fed up with this owner and GM

Behind an Oline that changed every week. You know as well as I do that the O line and the RB's need that TIMING" When you have 14 combinations in 16 games that is GONE.once again that is not Duces fault. Scott was a PS RB. How did he even become effective at ALL if Duce was so bad? It's not like he was RB#2 he was a PRACTICE squad RB

So that's 8-11 running plays in a whole game? Thats what I mean Ped gave up the running game.He did that early and often.I just don;t see how you can put that on Duce

IDK if we hire Duce or not, but we need to give him a fair shot like we would anyone else

 OK, What kind of offense will we get with Duce? He coached behind Doug who had no innovative ideas at all. No motion. No misdirection. So Duce is gonna figure this out on his own? I want a Bright young OC who has balls on offense. Who can make adjustments on the fly. Who knows how to use what players he has. Who knows the weakness of the other team and attacks it.

 

   If you think Duce is that guy god bless you my friend.

What you lack you get with your coordinators(hopefully) Doug had no ideas at all,let alone innovative ones. Ped called the plays no matter what Duce wanted or not,so IDK what he knows(that is why we interview people), so yeah go get a bright young OC and with Duce, maybe we can have a running game we don't give up on at 1/2 time lol

I just don't see any other way around it... I don't see a good turnaround in the next couple of years.

Nope, we are a week behind on coaching interviews,plus 6 more positions to fill(back to 7 if we lose Duce lol). We are Pop Warner

No balls Lurie is letting Howie run this team into the ground,and he's doing a good job of that

Well and... We don't have the appeal to tempt guys to hold off accepting other jobs. I mean Saleh accepted the Jets job because they'd started their search earlier and we just don't have the appeal required to tempt someone to reconsider.

Yeah,like I said,we will wait until there is 1 choice left,which means it's not really a choice

It is going to be Duce. They'll spin it as that was their choice and he's their guy etc etc but that's more BS.
