February 13, 20232 yr Look losing Steichen is going to be a real blow. Losing Gannon not so much. And no I'm not going to kill Gannon for yesterday but ultimately in his 2 years here he's not shown he can get it done against an above average QB. His scheme is uncreative.
February 13, 20232 yr We thought we would be losing our 2 coordinators this year as well.....Sucks to be awesome right!
February 13, 20232 yr I wouldn’t mind saying goodbye to the offensive, defensive, and special teams coaches.

I disagree, Brian Johnson was brought here to work directly with Hurts based on there relationship. He also listened to Shane's play calling through the headset and sits in on gameplanning. He might actually be an improvement.
February 13, 20232 yr Worst thing about losing like this to the Chiefs is that Gannon will probably not get hired.

February 14, 20232 yr Why can active coaches be interviewed during the season? Seems like an unnecessary distraction, especially if they're in the playoffs. How about F off unril the season has concluded?
February 14, 20232 yr I want Gannon to be asked in his interview why/how was his Defense gashed in the 2nd half of the Super Bowl??!?!! And, if you see that your Defense is NOT getting to the QB with rushing just 4, what is/was your backup plan to counter that??!???!!
February 14, 20232 yr If you watched KC over the last couple years, the 49ers and the rams, you can see creative plays that involve movement, shifting, misdirections, end arounds......Once Steichen is gone, i hope the next OC can be more creative and using Hurts athleticism without him running as much.......roll outs, bootlegs....whatever. I hope I never see that parallel and behind the LoS pass again.......that play is a waste of a down the vast majority of the time.......
February 14, 20232 yr I’m seeing news reports like this. I hope they’re not true. https://sports.yahoo.com/eagles-pushing-retain-dc-jonathan-121609200.html
February 14, 20232 yr On 2/13/2023 at 3:50 AM, EagleJoe8 said: I’ve said before, the talent on defense out played Gannon’s incompetence. Much the same way coaches like Switzer, Gruden, and Billick have also won Super Bowls. Their talent was better than their coaching. I've felt this way all year, the talent is there, the coaching is not.

February 14, 20232 yr I think Brian Johnson should be the next OC. He may be able to bring some new wrinkles to this offense and help Hurts get even better. I think this is a no brainer
February 14, 20232 yr Official: Steichen hired as Colts Head Coach. https://www.nfl.com/news/indianapolis-colts-hire-eagles-oc-shane-steichen-as-new-head-coach

February 14, 20232 yr I really really really hope Gannon is gone. I can live with Steichen, because even with the unimaginative playcalling, they still have no issue putting points up. The SB wasn't lost due to the offense imo.

That used to be the rule, however, It was modified because coordinators on the Super Bowl teams often were shut out on interviews due to teams not wanting to wait to hire as they often wanted their HCs in place before the Senior Bowl (which could be pushed back to the week after the Super Bowl) and the scouting Combine. They should really make it so NO ONE can be interviewed until after the Super Bowl.

If you think tampering with players is rampant in the NFL, coaching and Front Office gigs are ten times worse.

February 14, 20232 yr Both are gone. My fave coach and OC is gone. I am happy Gannon is gone. Siri? I wouldn't care either way, really- but we are stuck with him for now. The best coach on the team is gone. THAT sucks. Same thing happened after 2017, and by the Colts as well. Eagles needed to win THIS Super Bowl. They actually won 35-31... but the god of Philly media gave KC a free 7 points, with a pee wee football choke, where he wasn't even touched. But they love their little football god they created, and bow down to the guy who cost the Eagles the Super Bowl. Insanity rules in Philly. Not for me, though. I wash my hands of this garbage. So here we are. Lurie and Howie just might get us some good OC/DC's. Then we can get all the way back to the Super Bowl, and hope doesn't pull another pee wee league choke again. Foles sure as hell never choked. Not once. Behold YOUR king:

The game tying drive + 2 point conversion is the opposite of choking. One friggin' play and you write it off as his fault. If you are going to blame the entire game on one play, why not Seumalo's false start on the QB sneak? Without that, there is no fumble. I understand that casual fans blame the QB because it's easy, but Hurts played a phenomenal game. My advice is to take a breath and re-think your hot take. That is if you want people to think you know what the heck you're talking about.

February 15, 20232 yr The flow on effect of this we now have 2 coaches who may look to poach other assistants. Lets say Brian Johnson gets the OC spot. Patullo or Brady are candidates for OC with either. And Wilson might go be a DC if he doesn’t get the gig here.
