DeathByEagle Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Rumor is Vic Fangio is out as Head Coach of the Denver Broncos. If this turns out to be true, I am firing Gannon and signing Fangio only moments after he is let go. ***Title updated after its been announce Vic will be fired by Denver on Mon. I would hire him in a heart beat. the locker room has publicly spoke out all season on Gannons lack of scheme and knowledge. For the type of offense we currently have we need a top 5 defense and Vic has done that now in his last two teams. 1
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 I'd be good with that. Let Gannon go and interview for one of the HC roles.
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Just make it happen... I'd absolutely take Fangio especially after tonight.

And unless, Gannon gets a HC job, I don't think he's going anywhere either. 2

Even Stevens as a possible move to MLB. This team Dline and LB wise is more suited as a 3-4 then a 4 man front which is exactly why Gannon uses the 3-4 over as a base. 1
Road to Victory Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 The Eagles aren’t making any major changes. It looks like they’re making the playoffs with a first-year starter at QB, new coaching staff and they’ve improved throughout the year. While Gannon’s not the best DC, the D is much better than it was in the beginning of the year. He made some adjustments and they worked. Their run D was the worst I’ve EVER seen early on but now it’s a strength again.

There last 6 games have been against the teams in the bottom of the league. 2nd and 3rd string QBs. Put this defense against any top 16 team and the defense is Swiss cheese.

I’m sure they’ll get exposed in the playoffs but I don’t think it’s Gannon’s fault. This is not a talented defense.
eaglesfan0075 Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 With the playoff berth, the only hope now for an upgrade at DC is for someone to hire Gannon as their HC.
Waiting4Someday Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 A) Gannon isn’t good enough to be hired as HC - the defense is average at best and it wasn’t like he had a bunch veterans happy about it. B) He’s Siri’s boy, so he’s not getting fired - nor should he, as the D is transitioning to something (TBD if this approach pans out, but it’s a bit milquetoast for me).
Kwahu Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Gannon is young enough to still learn from his mistakes, we’re getting more young defensive talent in the draft, and Siri likely won’t let him get poached (unless Jeff and Howie step in, which I doubt). I remember wanting Fangio as HC back in 2013. I think he would still want to be head coach wherever he goes. I don’t see it happening.

From my understanding, they couldn't block Gannon for interviewing for HC jobs per league rules? 1

Yeah that's my understanding too. I think you can block from interviewing for coordinator roles but not HC roles.
eaglesfan0075 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Considering this is a rebuilding year where we still managed to make the playoffs, I don't see Gannon being fired, regardless of whoever becomes available. Had the team finished this season on a big losing streak and only win 4 or 5 games this year, marred by big blowouts, I can see him being let go after a year. We're 9-7 with the opportunity to finish 10-7. Have to give the coaching staff credit where it's due, even if we had a softer schedule in the 2nd half. You play who is on the schedule. However, if the media rumors are true and Gannon does actually interview for a HC job, we may get lucky and someone thinks that he's HC material, opening up a spot for an experienced veteran DC option. A playoff win or two would certainly help our case. Otherwise, we just have to hope that adding talent to the defense via the draft leads to improvement on the field.

There is a special bond between Siri and Gannon though, hope this would not add some drama..
Lman Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Vic was just fired as Broncos head coach. Would you dump Gannon and bring him in as DC? I would for sure. 1
xxeaglesfanxx Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I mean whatever gets Gannon out of town. But I seriously doubt he’s going anywhere. No one is signing him as a head coach after last nights display.
EazyEaglez Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I would like to see a veteran presence on this coaching staff. I have a feeling Gannon is going to be back though.
