Eagles fire Doug Pederson; Begin search for replacement.

CREDIT: USA Today Images

On Monday, after five seasons with the team including a Super Bowl victory, the Eagles decided to part way with Head Coach Doug Pederson. In his tenure with the Eagles, Pederson had a record of 42-37-1, made the playoffs three times, and won Super Bowl 52. 

Pederson met with Owner Jeffery Lurie twice in the past two weeks and reports are the two didn’t agree on the teams direction in the future. There have also been reports of “fragmented relationships” between Pederson, Howie Roseman, and QB Carson Wentz. 

Per source, Carson Wentz had no involvement in the departure of Pederson, and his future with the Eagles is still up in the air. 

The Eagles, led by Lurie, Roseman, and President Don Smolenski, will search for their next head coach now. According to ESPN’s Tim McManus, the Eagles have already reached out to Oklahoma Coach Lincoln Riley about the vacant coaching position. Other names linked to the Eagles are Kansas City QB Coach Mike Kafka, New England LB Coach Jerod Mayo, San Francisco DC Robert Saleh, Dallas OC Kellen Moore, and many others.

Happy New Years Greg !!

A few other Names linked to the Eagles HC Position and I have not read/heard about a any interest in Cowboys OC Kellen Moore, who just signed a nice 3 Year Extension to remain with the Cowboys

Luke Fickell – HC of the U of Cincinnati
Ryan Day – HC Of Ohio State
Arthur Smith – OC of the Titans
Joe Brady – OC of the Panthers, who I believe has already interviewed
Todd Bowles – Former HC of the Jets and long time Dc with multiple Teams including the Eagles a few years
back when he took over for the Fired Juan Castillo during the end of a Andy Reid Area
Raheem Morris – Former HC/DC of Atlanta, and Tampa Bay
Duce Staley – Long Term RB Coach and Asst HC of the Eagles
Brian Daboll – OC of the Bills

Add Brian Shottenheimer to the list of Potential OC’s Candidates

The Steelers let go of their Offensive Coordinator, Randy Fitchner today so there are currently 9 NFL Teams in need of a Offensive Coordinator including the Eagles
7 Teams Searching for a HC (Eagles,Jets, Jags, Lions, Falcons, Texans LA Chargers) an now
both Seattle and Pittsburgh are looking for Offensive Coordinators to replace those they let go,
Some current Teams may lose their OC to become HC elsewhere, creating more open Positions at OC
which is why I believe Eagles will Hire a Offensive Minded HC who can run an Offense and then Hire
a Veteran DC who has experience and can run that side of the Ball on his own

Word around the League and Coaching Agents is to stay away from the Eagles as they are too dysfunctional and have issues with the Sanity of the Owner and General Manager who appear to be in cahoots together and believe that they can both run a Football Team and Staff and Roster better than Actual Coaches

We’ll see as the Eagles “Dynamic Duo” will continue to feed NFL and Eagle Beat Reportes the usual lies and innuendos to discredit anyone who turns them Down or will even make up shit to discredit a Coaching Contact who simply Isn’t interested in the Eagles Job

In the words of our doubly impeached whiner in chief “fake news”.
The eagles style will not keep away too many coaches. Their egos (coaches) are too big and the spotlight of Philly too bright for a type A, egomaniacal coach to turn down. Oh someone might turn them down for whatever reason but these coaches are aggressive and way too driven to turn this down. They will get someone and probably already know who it is.
To be clear if the words are true that Howie picks game day roster that’s crappy. I guess it’s their multi billion $ business to run as they see fit. I think in the end Doug wanted two things: control over Howie (and Lurie has seen that show) and 2. He wanted to throw away Wentz which forces a business man to make a business decision. That’s not really a football decision in my book. I’ve said since I heard Howie before week 1 that there was trouble in Mudville and it’s name rhymes with Fowie Schmosman .

3 Coaching Candidates off the Board
Urban Meyer (Jaguars), Robert Selah (Jets)
and Arthur Smith (Falcons)

LA Chargers,Texans,Lions & Eagles still interviewing

I believe the Eagles will settle with Duce Staley and Hope they he can ride out the next 2 Seasons to get this Team thru a rebuild which will be difficult and then go thru this process again … Staley will be a popular and easy choice with the Fans as many would like to see the long term Eagle get an opportunity
Lurie is on the hook paying Coach Pedersen $6 million for next Season not to Coach so he will not be adding any high priced Head Coach this time around, it will be a newbie at low $$$
Where the Eagles will hire most of Staff

Doug Pedersen is taking the 2021 Season off as he’s getting $6 Million from Owner Lurie, and since he got Fired late in the Coaching Interviewing Process, not too many options as other Teams have been interviewing, formulating plans for weeks and months bow..
Doug’s best move is to chill out for year and go at it again for 2022 Season fully re-charged with the debacle of the 2020 Season behind him, Heck he may just retire from the NFL scene all together and Coach at the College level if he chooses too..

Reports are that Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley wants no part of this Job/Organization at this
time

It will likely beDuce, or a newbie Candidate looking for their first HC Job that will have little to no authority where Lurie/Roseman can control the Staff and Narrative of the Team for this is what they do …

My Top 3 Choices that I would like to See become HC of the Eagles

1) Brian Daboll – (OC from Buffalo BIlls) – Blue Collar, Genuine and Creative and has really helped and developed QB Josh Allen to become a very Good NFL QB, who has similar Traits as Carson Wentz

2) Greg Roman – (OC from the Ravens) – A great Play-Caller and Schemer for today’s NFL Offense’s

3) Duce Staley – (RB Coach) – Give him an Opportunity, Great Leader and Strong Character while cleaning up the Salary Cap Hell and Roster and see what happens, But give him support too..

Bringing in an outside guy right now with the current “Stench” that is in this Organization and would be a disservice to that New Coach and to the Fans
We will have to let it Play Out as a Total Rebuild situation which is currently underway and will take 2 Years to complete as they turnover the Roster with younger Players and get their Payroll under control , the sooner they begin and complete this process, the better for future success
They put themselves in this position and now they have to work themselves out of it which
Includes Howie and Lurie themselves and whoever the New Coach will be …
There is no silver bullet here to save the Eagles short term from this mess..
Duece is their only alternative to take hits for the Organization short term until they get their shit together

Eagles are 23-27-1 in their last 3 Seasons following a Super Bowl Win, Istead of re-tooling and getting younger and cheaper in 2019 & 2020 they instead get older and keep bringing back aging, injured players Instead of developing more young Players for the future and all this occurs while supposedly having a Franchise QB in his prime ,in Carson Wentz where he should be peaking as an NFL QB
Offensive Coaching Staff Changes every year
4 WR Coaches in 5 Years, 3 OC’s in 5 Years so it’s no wonder they can’t develop WR’s even though this has been a huge focus for years
An Ownership/Front Office who want to pick the HC’s Staff ? What experienced HC is going to go for this ? Only Newbies who may or may not be ready will take this Job at this time ..
There is Stench all over this Organization right now after all these leaks about back-stabbing, on who wanted who, drama in the QB Room..
Owner Lurie has become too involved and somehow believes since winning the SB that he has earned this right to meddle in Football Operations… Howie is a glorified “Draft Geek”
who thinks his voluminous notebook will make him a quality GM in putting a Quality Roster together
Eagles will ride the Basement of the NFC over the next 2 Seasons before Lurie ever thinks about replacing Howie Roseman and until this occurs, the Eagles will have a major “Stench”
throughout their Organization

Well very selective cherry picking…. rotten cherries. You pick the disastrous season to say it …. of course you also tainted the SB win by downgrading opponents etc.
after the SB you have to give it a shot and the next year they got a playoff win and we’re a dropped pass from the championship game. All lost on the alcoholic who lives in a zoo.
If you are paying attention these kinds of things are going on all over the league. It’s business. All 4 teams that were in the championship round in 17 had horrible seasons, 2 have changed coaches 1 coach is on the major hot seat…. pay attention fraudman …. there only 6 out of 32 teams that have long tenured coaches. OC and DC shakeups everywhere. Standard operating procedure… QBs looking to move, be involved in coaching hires. It’s a big boy business and for pussies living in the woods.

So much for the “you HAVE to run the ball” narrative. Buffalo ran the ball 12 times. FOUR of these were kneel downs and 8 were in the second half when they had the lead and were milking clock. I guess the dummies don’t want their OC as our head coach because he isn’t a 1970 ground it and pound it guy. The nfl is a passing league time to get used to it. Part 2, Lamar Jackson will have a short career. You can’t be the QB and the leading rusher week after week and he really struggles beating you from the pocket.

Half of Buffalo’s Passes were extension of run plays, Hoe many WR screens anc 2-3 Yard Passes did Josh Allen throw last evening?
10-12 Times ?
Spread the field out and get the ball out to your Playmakers, Great Game Plan and Play Calls from their OC Brian Daboll
Have your Young QB make quick,safe throws and then take a few shots here and there to keep the Ravens Defense honest and to keep your Offense ahead of the Sticks with manageable 2nd/3rd Down distances

I agree about Lamar Jackson’s long term productions as his injuries will continue to mount as he takes too many hits and will eventually lose some of his explosiveness, he’s a below average QB when kept in the Pocket ..
Ravens young QB Huntley actually looked pretty good considering coming in cold late in the Game… He may have potential and obviously a goid job of Coaching by Ravens OC Greg Roman and their Staff

And how many Screen Plays did the Eagles do this Season ?
2-3 a Game ? Bills ran a ton last night by design as the Ravens are traditionally very difficult to rush the ball against so they got it out of the QB’s hand quickly and forced the Ravens to cover the complete field and got positive yards on 1st/2nd downs to keep ahead of the sticks which was something the Eagles struggled with for most of the 2020 Season

On a side note, you sure didn’t keep your New Years Resolution for very long !!

Paul I wish u knew something about football. A screen play is dependent on a good OL. The eagles had 15 different combinations of OL. Screens are timing dependent, too many moving parts. As stated very early this year is a god awful season… it was off the rails. Even a dimwit like you would acknowledge that the screen game has been a major part of the eagles game plan for years.

Say what you want they didn’t turn around and hand the ball to a back. You can’t even admit that.
The eagles have tried the bubble screens, the WR screens and this year nothing worked. Point is you don’t have to turn around and hand the ball to a back. You are the one that continually harped on the number of rushing attempts even after I showed you numbers that clearly showed that for a terrible team that lost ALOT of games they actually ran it a decent amount…

All were at fault from the Coaches, to the QB’s to the decimated OL and young WR’s with little to zippo contributions from Jeffrey and D-Ajax and JJAW for a 2nd Season in a row
Why keep any of this Group around for the Future and especially for a rebuilding time that the Eagles are finally going to go thru after years of short-term band-aids that miraculously worked in 2017 only by the out of mind playing by Nick Foles but is not sustainable nor a template of how to build a consistent Winner to compete for Championships

That’s correct it was a horrible year but the apocalypse can be avoided.
Would be simple for you to say, “HAC you are right, you don’t have to turn around and hand the ball off 30 times. The NFL has evolved given rule changes. The bills won without running. It’s easier to score a high number of points by tossing the ball around. Obviously run heavy teams like Baltimore are at a major disadvantage when they fall behind” simple. It’s not even worth arguing about because the number of runs is not relevant . The eagles this year because of their shitty team finished roughly 20 in number of runs… I. Dougs other years they were in top 12.
It was a bad year.. been acknowledged a million times. But it wasn’t bad cuz they didn’t run a million times. You are just too passive aggressive to admit

Paul by continuing to go over their horrible season it means zero… there were more problems than you can count, your incessant whining is kind of redundant. They were bad. Simple move on. Hire a coach, infuse some new blood and fix it. NFL turnaround can happen quick.

As for the ground game understand I was a HC/OC in the 90s…. I was a run first guy. But understand that’s HS with kids playing and not in the nfl where the rules are pass oriented. I ran QB wedge (sneak) 7 plays in a row for 3 first downs. I love a dynamic running game . The eagles as has been stated ad nauseam were not dynamic in any aspect of the game in 20. You can continue to beat that dead horse and whine but there is no point… they were bad if you want to keep going over the ways they were bad go ahead it is just stating the obvious

See no real improvement for next Season
New Coaches, New Schemes, the departure of 4-5 Veterans and Leaders in the Lockeroom..
New OL Coach with new Blocking Schemes/Techniques and Terminology so no easy Transition for even Veteran OL like LJ, Brooks and Seumalo who have been in the same system for the last 5-6 Years
No leadership with Jason Kelce Retiring and a bunch of other young OL learning a new System next Spring so why expect a bounce back Season from the OL which is the engine that drives the Offense …

5-11 Next Season

Maybe the Eagles will luck out with a QB Market this off-Seasons
Drew Brees, Phil Rivers and Big Ben will likely Retire and their Teams don’t have viable backup QB’s ready to step in

Colts have Rivers, Brisset where both Players Contracts are up and are not expecting to return

Saints have Jamies Winston whose Contract is also up and gadget player/QBTysom Hill who is not an every down QB

Steelers have backup Mason Rudolph under Contract and that’s about it and he’s been inconsistent when he’s played

Patriots have Cam Newton whose Contract is up and J Stidham appears to a backup type of QB only

49ers have a decision to make about Jimmy Garrapolo who can’t stay healthy
CJ Beatherd may be their man next Season

Bears have Trubinsky and Foles are still searching for a long term answer

Broncos have Drew Lock who is very inconsistent and May look to add a QB

Lions and Falcons may move from their QB’s being in rebuild situations and look to trade Stafford and Ryan for Draft Capital

Texans have a Mess with DeShaun Watson

Eagles have a Mess with Carson Wentz

This Years QB Class probably has 2 Starters out of the gate – Trevor Lawrence for sure and maybe Zach Wilson of BYU but J Fields,T Lance are going to need time to develop and need the right teams/Coaches to develop with
A Wildcard is the QB from Alabama who may move up the Draft Boards after a great Season and maturity, leadership but with that OL, WR Corps and RB with great Play Design and Calling, it’s pretty hard to not be successful playing with that group at the College level

QB’s who will likely be out there in no particular order, J Winston, C Newton, J Brissett, T Taylor, M Glennon, D Haskins,
And maybe a Wentz, D Watson, M Stafford and M Ryan, J Garrapolo thru a Trade scenario

LA Chargers just announced that they are Hiring Rams young DC B Staley in a surprise Hire leaving B Daboll for the Eagles or Texans to pursue along with E Bienemy who has fallen a bit per NFL Reports

The extensive interview process is to steal ideas, get up on trends etc. I guarantee the eagles know who they are hiring. This is just to keep the buzz going etc. you over react to everything. I guess it’s cuz you don’t have much else going on.

I believe many of these younger Candidates are more of OC or DC Candidates and a opportunity for the Eagles to spread their Search beyond just a HC

If they Hire X for – They can offer Jerrod Mayo a DC Postion and Mike Kafka as the OC as an example ..
If they Hire Duce Staley as HC, Can Mike Kafka become the OC with Mayo as the DC

If they don’t Hire Duce Staley as HC, I believe he walks and gets a Job elswhere and probably with the Steelers if he wants as the Running Game Coordinator/RB Coach as they have some real issues with their Running Game the last 2 Years..

The Eagles OL has lots of ? with Players Returning from Injuries and 3 Starters over the Age of 30
Yea a few of the Young Players did get a lot of experience and looked pretty good as their Game time Experience went on — Mailata, Herbig and Driscoll ..
A lot will depending on who replaced Jeff Stoudtland and what kind of Running/BLocking Schemes and Techniques will the new Coaching Staff employ

Eagles DL is aging and highly paid so it’s not a real strength moving forwards in my opinion
5 of the 11 HIghest Paid Eagles are in their DL (F Cox, B Graham, J Hargrave, M Jackson and D Barnett) with 3 of these Players over 30 Years old and their best years behind them and there’s a very good chance is that 2 of the 5 Players I listed above will not even be Eagles after this Spring as they may cuts,trades to clear Salary Cap space that they put themselves into

Heavy talk it’s going to be McDaniels. Funny I remember when they hired Doug all the talk was how the eagles were the only team he interviewed with and the eagles must be morons. Same will be said by dummies this year. Shows that the number one priority is fixing Wentz. McDaniel is notoriously tough on QBs and has stood up to Brady. I like that they aren’t going with the flavor of the day… the sexy hire. Sometimes they work (Mcvey has been solid) but most don’t (Gase, Mike McCoy, Kelly etc)

NFL News pertaining to the Indy Combine/Workouts

There will be no Indy-Combine this Year due to Covid Concerns per the NFL
There will be no “In-Person Workouts” by Players at any Teams Headquarters
Only College Pro Days will be allowed
All Player Interviews and Psychological Testing will be done Virtually instead of at Indy Combine or Player Workouts
There will be limited In Person Medical Exams …

This will make for an extra challenging Year for all Scouting/Player Personnel Depts and Front Offices around the NFL .. Teams will have to rely more than ever, simply by the Game Tapes of 2020/2019 Seasons for these Players as it will be very difficult to spend time in person with these Prospects this Spring due to Covid…
There’s the upcoming Senior Bowl which will be more important this year but outside of this, Scouting Reports, Interviewing Coaches, Teammates, Prospects Virtually, Many Players Opted out on the 2020 Season,
Some smaller Schools had a reduced Game Schedule for 2020 due to Covid

Obtaining all current and pertinent Medical Information will be a challenge also, so rolling the dice on an early Round Prospect on Players with recent or serious injuries will likely not happen

It will be interesting to see what, if any impact there is on this Draft
Will a large Free-Agent of NFL Players this Off-Season and many Teams having Salary Cap Issues, Are Teams better of signing a Proven NFL Player to a cheaper deal than a Younger College Prospect that you are not really sure about or that you haven’t fully vetted ? Teams will have to make this choice
Will you see some Teams looking to trade out of their 2021 Draft Picks for Future Draft Picks ? In recent Drafts, a Team typically gains a Round of Value with Trading a Current Draft Pick for a Future Draft Pick ..
(Example – I trade you a 4th Round Pick in 2021 Draft for your 3rd Round Pick in 2022,etc)

This may be a Year where you Stay true to your Board as you have it and look to list Prospects who are healthy, received Quality Coaching, have transferable Skill Sets to fit your Scheme and have the Personal Make up that reflect your Organization’s Culture

Players from Smaller Schools will be at a disadvantage as will some of the lesser name Players who didn’t have much of a 2020 College Season, but maybe this creates Opportunities as well for some Teams
Great Scouting, Personal Relationships with various College Programs, Coaching & Medical Staffs around the Country will be extra important this Draft

I’m not sure he’s ready but is well liked and respected around the NFL

This exposes a major flaw in the hiring process in the NFL- There are 4 teams still playing. Obviously those teams have successful coaches who are a bit handicapped in the process.
It also shows how there are candidates all throughout the league and the difference between the hottest coordinator becoming a successful HC and an unsuccessful one is razor thin. They all have excellent X and O minds. That is really the easy part- the hard part is getting a group of professionals who are in essence their own private corporation to pull in one direction. I think it comes down to McDaniel and Staley- Duce is obviously a fan favorite which means nothing in the end- hire him and he goes 10-32 over the next 3 years and he will be getting killed. I think Duce would be a good leader and a guy that get the team going in the right direction- its unknown what type of relationship he has with Carson and make no mistake that is a major factor

Do you think Carson is back in 2021 ? I think he will be Traded and have a hard time seeing him back
at the NovaCare Center and Eagles Locker Room for 2021.. Even though a New Coaching Staff was not part of the past Drama, I’m not sure that the Locker Room and Front Office can look or trust Wentz again .. I believe Howie wants him out with the timely released articles by Jeff McLane, who is Howies Hatchet Journalist, even though Owner Jeffrie Lurie wants to rehabilitate Wentz and return..
Howie has been planting the seeds to move on from CW , Owner Lurie will come around too..

On a Side Note, – Colts QB Phil Rivers announced his Retirement today which was expected
Back-up Jacoby Brisset is a Free-Agent and doesn’t appear to be in the Colts future plans
so all the Colts have left at QB on their Roster is 4th Round Rookie from last years Draft, Jacob Eason, out of the U of Washington and who started out his College Career at U of Georgia and has a nice Arm, but never quite reached his potential as a College QB

Eagles can Send Wentz and toss in Ertz to the Colts to make a Deal Happen and even if the Eagles have to eat the $10 Million Signing Bonus due in March 2021 to Wentz, would be a good way to go for everyone to have a fresh Start…

Eagles ride with Hurts and bring in a Veteran Free-Agent QB to Compete or be a Back-up for Hurts for 2021. Maybe a Ryan Fitzpatrick, G Minshew, Tyrod Taylor, J Brissett ,

On the Coaching Hiring Process

The only way to make a level Playing Field for all Coaching Candidates is to make all Teams wait
to either a later set Date (like Feb 1st) or even after the Super Bowl before Interviewing/Hiring which would be difficult to manage for then you would have all these Coaching Changes and Staffs moving around in Feb/March which coincides with all the College Work Days/Indy-Combine, Senior Bowls, Draft run up, etc,etc unless you move these events to later in the Spring which again is hard to do and would also keep many Asst Coaches and Staff in limbo well into the Spring which is tough on Families, School Aged Kids, etc,etc

Maybe they can keep it as is but allow and Coaches to Interview during their Playoff Runs which again would be difficult to manage but would only apply to a few coaches each season instead of impacting a much larger segment of the Coaching Community who are used to starting new Jobs in January and moving, etc,etc

Well trading Carson is not financially feasible, a poster a couple of weeks ago said it was but the more I read I think even trading him is like 59$ million dead money…. I cannot see doing it PLUS as we are seeing league wide high caliber, franchise changing QBs are impossible to find. Think for a minute that Brees was 30 when he won his ONLY SB, Rodgers was 27 when he won his (so far) one…Wentz has already been a part (huge part) to one. QBs of that caliber are very tough to come by. Many really good QBs have some awful years in their mid to late 20s … take a look at Matt Ryan (for a recent example) or even Brees and Rodgers had major hiccups mid career. Historically Elway, Marino etc.
gotta fix Wentz . I think as for the locker room etc…. if Carson gets form back and wins… the locker room won’t blink an eye

It’s a big Cap Hit whether he’s on the Team
Or Not for the next 2 Seasons
The worse thing about his 4 Year Contract Extension is that it is Starting this year in 2021 lasting thru 2024
$128 Million with $107 Million in Guaranteed Dollars

He absolutely won’t be released for it would be a $59 Million Cap Hit in 2021 and $34 Million Cap Hit in 2022 if they simply released
But if they trade him and have eat sone of the guaranteed $$ for a mid-round Draft pick may be the best they can get

Would you want to Trade him and save
some of the guaranteed $$$ for years 2,3 & 4 in terms of Roster/Signing Bonus $$
Absolutely ..
Eagles are better off to eat thr $34 Million rather than have to pay the entire $107 Million if the Player doesn’t want to remain an Eagle
Remember No one held a gun to the Eagles
and Wentz was not demanding a New Deal back in 2019 when this extension was agreed upon but OT’s water u set thr bridgd and this his Howie constructed this deal with heavy bonus/guaranteed $$$ in thr first 2 Years of the 4 Year Extension so it is what it is
The question is how do you minimize the damage in order to move forward and that’s where they’re at with him…

no one was holding a gun to their head but at the time it was a great signing and actually team friendly with how QBs salaries were going crazy. Goffs deadcap this year is even higher than Wentz and they aren’t happy with him either. Prescott made 32 M this and that will go up considerably one way or another next. QB money in football is monopoly money it means very little- 5 of the top 10 highest paid QBs this year did not make the playoffs (Wentz was 25th) So its all a shell game-

Eagles denied Lions permission to speak to Fipp. Speculation was that Lurie wasn’t keen on him but speculation is for losers. Further speculation is that it’s a good sign for Duce and or Bowles both whom worked with him. BUT remember this football guys are 100% used to working with coaches who come and go. It’s not rocket science and any coach they hire will have a handle on how he wants specials to run and Fipp would easily adapt …. again the X O part is very simple. When McCarthy went to Dallas he kept their same offense cuz it was easier for him to learn their terminology than it was for the team to convert to his terminology. An inside zone read is an inside zone read, the terminology is based on your prior knowledge… it’s easy to adapt . Don’t over think it… it’s just a bunch of big fast dudes bashing each other heads in

Meanwhile if I’m the Eagles, I’m rebuilding the Defense with the Draft, most likely they’ll have a New DC with a New scheme
They have to rebuild the Secondary with at least 2 longer, taller Outside CB’s to play and learn along with D Slay who is approaching that late 20’s/30 Age
They need a Athletic, Physical Free Safety
They need a 3 Down LB who can play vs the Run, the Pass and be a future Leader of this Defense and they need another Pass-Rusher to develop
They have many pieces at OL (if Healthy) and a few Young WR’s in house to develop already so I would focus on upgrading their Defense in this Draft
Maybe add a proven WR in Free Agency but I’m not sure they have the Cap Space to do it this Off-Season
Depending on who the next Coach is, do you ride outJeffrey/D-Jax one more Season
or move on for them this Off-Season which will require eating more cap space
Would a Todd Bowles Hire as HC to focus on rebuilding the Defense with a young, innovative OC/Asst HC to work on the Offense be there way to go ?

NFL Free-Agents that could help the Eagles if they are able to get their Cap Situation under control
All Players are 26 or Younger as there is no sense in adding aging Veteran Free-Agents to a Team in Transition

WR Position Free -Agents for Eagles to check out if move away from Jeffrey,D-Jax and Grissom and clear some Cap Space

1) Chris Godwin (Age 25) – TB Bucs (6-1 – 210lbs) 3rd Round Pick, Local Philly Kid, Strong, Physical and will have many suitors and choices, can be a True #1 WR in my Opinion
2) Curtis Samuel (Age 25) – Panthers (5-11 200lbs) 2nd Round Pick, Versatile and coming off a Career Year, finally had a full healthy season
3)Josh Reynolds (Age 26) – LA Rams – (6-3 196lbs) 4th Round Pick , Great Route Runner, Catches everything
4) JuJu Shuster (Age 25) – Pittsburgh Steelers (6-1 215lbs) Former 2nd Round Pick, Strong & Big Target
5) David Moore (Age 26) – Seahawks (6-0 215lbs) Very Physical, Good Hands and improved Route Runner
6) Corey Davis (Age 26) – Tennessee Titans (6-3 210lbs) Former 1st Round Pick, Very Talented but has been Up and Down and Inconsistent thru his NFL Career and now has fallen out as being the Top WR for the Titans to AJ Brown who has outplayed him

He would be my #1 Target in Free-Agency for the Offense
Tampa Bay has Mike Evans under a Big Contract already, Young WR’s in Tyler Johnson, Scott Miller,
TE’s Brate , OJ McDuffie and Veterans Antonio Brown and TE Gronk who are currently on 1 Year Deals
I’m afraid there will be a lot of Teams after him like the Ravens, Jets,Patriots, Washington FT who have more $$$ to offer him but if the Eagles can clear $$ of the Cap and move Jeffrey, D-Jax,
then I would sign Chris Godwin in a heartbeat
Another Big Decision at WR to make is Greg Ward who’s been a nice Player for the Eagles, but to be honest ,Jalen Reagor, to me , is the Slot WR of the Future, so If I can get an Outside Receiver like Godwin or my 2nd choice in Josh Reynolds or David Moore, them I’m moving Jalen Reagor to the Slot where I think he could be terrific catching those slants, bubble routes, crossers, etc,etc
and letting Greg Ward walk
I really don’t believe Reagor will be a great down the Field WR as he doesn’t seem to track the ball real well naturally, I do think his strength is getting the ball in his hands on short routes while moving and then let him create afterwards with the ball in his hands.. Like a J Edelman type and run the routes that Greg Ward usually does

He was on my original list of Coaching Coordinator Candidates, who I was hoping the Eagles to speak to that I listed on the old previous Thread with 500 comments on it..
Worked for the Charges under Mike McCoy and Frank Reich as their WR’s Coach, then moved up to QB/Passing Game Coach when Reich came to Philly, Then Reich Hired him when he went to Indy to take the Colts Job.. He’s about 40 Years Old, His Father/Brother are life time Coaches so he’s grown up around the Game of Football…
I have no Idea who any of his potential Asst Coaches would be and curious to find out
I would have to think that Duce will leave the Organization, but who knows, maybe he stays on as RB/Asst HC Coach ?
I would like to see Jerrod Mayo be named as DC or the LB Coach from Indy (Dave Borgonzi)

Its a Shame about Duce and am not all that concerned like many Fans are about a Locker Room Revolt with him not being named HC,

#2, Players don’t dictate who the Coaches are, that’s the job and decision made by Executive Management/Ownership of the Team does..

In the nfl players jobs are so easily replaceable that their concerns are short lived and they will move on from Duce loyalty. Think about it, Doug brought those guys a championship which brings about : forever fame/never buying a beer in Philly, more management loyalty for a contract extension, satisfaction of a championship. Yet these guys have already moved on. Loyalty in pro sports goes as far as your next paycheck. All this talk about Duce or Carson… trust me if this guy comes in, Carson plays well and they win… “Duce who” and “Carson is the greatest teammate ever”.

No you were doom and gloom for weeks. You can’t change your tune now. It’s what they call flip flop…no worries you will flip a few more times

If Duce Staley Bolts ( he is under Contract for 2021) Then Pepper Hamilton becomes OC/Play Caller and they will bring in Josh McCown in as the QB Coach

Sirrianni will call his own plays. That’s the way these young offensive guys do it. We have just gone to the normal model of many recent offensive minded coaches do it… Mcvay, the guy in Green Bay, cardinals etc…
I prefer a figure head HC…tomlin, Carroll, harbaugh etc who lead the team but down to down play calling is delegated. These coaches are obviously entrenched in the game planning, down to the minutiae. Both ways work.
Eagles are not far off… it’s a retool not doom and gloom the way many have reacted. If this guy can coach and Howie gets back some magic and the big if is Carson. Whatever the hell went on with him and Doug…wow

You can add Anthony Lynn & Todd Haley to the OC spot and Romeo Crenell as the DC as experienced, available Asst Coaches to hire that have worked with Sirianna in the past

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Thanks

Thanks for your post on the vacation industry. We would also like contribute that if your senior thinking about traveling, its absolutely vital that you buy travel cover for older persons. When traveling, older persons are at high risk being in need of a professional medical emergency. Obtaining the right insurance policies package for your age group can protect your health and give you peace of mind.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
