I’ve learned that Jeffrey Lurie’s plane landed in Chicago early this morning, so there’s much speculation that he’s in the Windy City this morning to talk to Notre Dame’s head coach Brian Kelly. He may be there to ask whether the coach whether he wants the job or not. Kelly met with the Eagles on Tuesday the day after his Fighting Irish were dominated by the Alabama Crimson Tide.
They were supposed to talk again after Kelly got back from a trip out of the country with his family.
Some time today, the Eagles brass are supposed to sit down with Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who has a big game tomorrow when the Seahawks take on the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. Bradley will need to shine in his interview with the Birds because the Eagles put a lot of importance on the interviews.
Remember that Andy Reid won the Birds head coaching job by having an amazing interview with Lurie and Joe Banner.
Brian Kelly is staying at ND!
Beaming News***
Notre Dame HC Brian Kelly confirms he is remaining at Notre Dame ant going to pursue any HC Job in the NFL
Jon Hart can give some follow-up as I am on the next big story and called that Kelly would not leave the Fighting Irish to Coach the Eagles as most of a expected…
Time is JH’s…
Actually fraud by the time posted frank beat you to your breaking news. When will you and JH realize we all read the same sites. You have no sources.
No one wants the eagles job, lurie tried to sell it at Reid’s firing, and it isn’t working, you shouldn’t have to sell a head coaching job in a major market, especially Philly, but this is how low eagles are now received, banner got out, Andy probably relieved to have gotten out, and it is all because of whom the owner surrounds himself with at the top, Howie roseman is a huge liability as a front man of the franchise, its that simple
What? These college coaches were info gathering sessions. Nothing more…” you tell us about college players, trends and things to come and you leverage us for a raise” after its over “thanks pal, good luck”… All along the guy they want to hire is still playing and they can’t hire him so what should they be doing? Sitting around watching the playoffs drinking champagne? Think boys
You have a point Cigar……….
Thread coaches are just using the NFL as leverage. Nobody is rejecting the Eagles.
*these.
For all anyone know they interviewed mike nolan first and said its a fit, nolan a defensive guy in turn says hey talk to these college coaches about the spread option , players and other trends
Word on 97.5 is that Mike Vick and Nick Foles arent exciting any of these college coaches to leave thier current jobs. This team is viewed as havinbg no QB in a QB driven league. Thats just the take per the college coaches in high profile programs.
Who the hell is mike Vick?
a millionaire football player who you would probably bitch up to if he walked into the room.
listen dude thats what they are reporting. Eagles cant sell any of them high [profiled coaches on Nick Foles or Vick. They would rather stay in college than come to Eagles. Which is surprising I wonder if Lurie used the Foles had better stats than Peyton Manning argument. sigh. I guess it didnt work
You are on crack. You think you are smarter than Lurie and Roseman.. That is simply ridiculous. They have had a plan for months
Not my thing, I’d ignore his punk ass. I don’t seek autographs from good players let alone him. Especially the backup qb in buffalo… Millionaire? You must not read the paper
Why would any of those three leave? Their shit does not stink in their towns… They have three of the golden jobs in the country their own empires. Knight hires 23 year old super models to suck chips dick, 3 at a time. Obrian has happy valley and the disgraced boosters wiping his ass and Kelly has turned the fraud loser domers believing that touchdown Jesus is the real deal
Meanwhile the blue hen is outplaying manning
A good coach can come in and take the talent there and turn it into a winning team. If all of the pieces were in place there would probably be no need for a new coach. Any coach worth a blood nickel would take on a challenge, obviously these college coachesare scared to do so, therefore not worthy of being an NFL calibur coach!!!
Come on hac. It’s delusional to think they wouldn’t have hired either one of those college coaches. No way they are just bored cause their number 1 guy is still in the playoffs and they are just flying all over the place to kill time. Totally disagree with any notion like that. I think those 3 college guys were ther hope guys they wanted. Why would they leave? Cause we’re talking about the nfl that’s why. More money more power more ego if they win there. I’m actually glad tho case I’d rather have Gus Bradley or even Jon gruden over either of them. Just sayin no way those college guys weren’t top choices for them. They would h e hired either one on the spot if they left school. I’m just hoping this shit works out.
I agree that Lurie and Roseman are limp wristers but to under estimate their intelligence is wrong on your part. They were accused early on of interviewing a bunch ofele to gather info… Now it’s being turned that they didn’t get their man… That is one jerk and stupid.
Bill O’Brian was the guy……..
Mike adams (hen) breaks up perfect pass from another hen flacco. Great game
No Coach wants to work for for, or believe’s that GM Roseman is a competent GM to give the new Coach a Roster to Win with..Roseman has been labled as
A “Coach-Killer” around the NFL
yawn.
what’s ur source on this?
I disagree anyways. Gus Bradley will work for and will want to work for Philly
Disagree Paulman. And I disagree with those saying coaches don’t want to come here because of the QB situation. More often than not, vacant coaching positions are on shitty teams which usually means shitty QB. Andy Reid is viewed as one of the top coaches in the league and he was the first to sign with a team that has the worst QB situation of them all. People need to relax. None of these college coaches are worth a damn anyway except O’Brien. I’m glad they stayed in college.
agreed
Agreed Btc24
By NFL coordinators or former coaches. Not by college coaches in high profile jobs. When your a Nick Saban, Chip Kelly or Brian Kelly there is no need to give up a mega job for a team like the EaglesWhich is a fact as we have just witnessed. But for a out of work NFL coach who needs a job or a coordinator who is trying to get paid or move up yeah they will take the job.
According to you in mommys basement
********Breaking news
broncos ravens in ot
I do beieve I mentioned (several times), when it was first announced, that the stupid Kaepernick experiment was going to end very badly.
and so far that prediction looks pretty dumb
And to think we beat the Ravens earlier this year.. unbelievable. They are a very good battle tested playoff team and they’ll most likely play the pats next week.. but what freakin good game omg havent seen one like that in a looong time, a instant classic
***Breaking News**
Per Windy City Sources, Jeff Lurhe’s Private Jet was simply out of Fuel, as its been flying non-Stop around the Country in pursuit if a College Coach who will take the Eagles Job
Jon Hart, as usual will follow up with the Fuelers and Runway Personnel for updates as best as he can.. Wow… Holy Moly…
Eli Manning is better than Payton Manning BOOK IT! I dare anyone to argue with me on this one. P. Manning will never win another Superbowl.
I was never a big Peyton fan….still hasn’t shed that choker label.
as for the Kaepernick prediction…he’s doing a good job keeping both teams alive….
I mean we can go back and forth I truly don’t believe they would interview someone for nine hours if they didn’t want him. I just don’t think philly is a desireable place right now. Tell you what gus bradley will be the truth meter about this team. They don’t get him then we know this franchise just sucks right now and nobody wants to come here. Dam this is unbelievable
This is bad I was listening to a dam music station and they were cracking jokes on the eagles. Saying stuff like you wanna get a raise at your job go interview with the eagles. This was a dam music station, nobody wants to play fantasy football with howie
kapernick throws a 93 mph fast ball damn.. did you hear that
this kapernick experiment sure isnt ending well…
Say what you want if we had kapernick we could probably find a coach!
Im sure Laurie and Roseman gave the coaches the option to try to draft geno smith.. but this qb draft class is so weak we may be stuck with foles..
Kapernick beats the blitz the same way vick used to.. after mudd changed the blocking scheme he messed all of that up
Vick for HOF!
Y the way that lasts for a half season….maybe a season and a half…..then finished…..
guy is 11 of 25 passing…..we’ll see how long the running around bit lasts…..
Uh-oh.. here come the racists
No way Vick is the best! I blame MUDD and Reid’s. If it wasn’t for them Vick would be in the SB
I thought Vick was in the Superbowl every year of his career. Did I miss something?
So let’s see who hires McCoy since Denver is done, Roseman is a problem Vick and Foles are a problem, the ridiculous roster is an issue I can see why this job is so highly sought after. I hope Bradley is the guy but at this point can we trust Lurie and Roseman to get it right?
Lion you are usually reasonable.. Can’t you see that Lurie knows who his guy is… He just can’t hire yet
Okay your reasonable as well, so its good business to chase all these non candidates around just for show? For what? To pick their brains to waste time. Come on man.
To see what they know, to see who they as college coaches see as good pros, to talk about the option offense, to gleen their brains. What time? Lurie is a billionaire, he has time… He doesn’t wake up and go deal with the boss…
Gus is our guy dude. Seattle will probably lose tomorrow and the hiring will be announced this week
If I was an owner and had a chance to ask 5 or 6 of the best offensive minds in the business what they think of my young quarterback, I would definitely buy them dinner.
If I could sit down with Lovie Smith and talk to him about the shitty play of the Eagles secondary and hear his thoughts, I would by him dinner.
Do I think that’s good business – Yes!
And coaches already do that they are always talking and inviting each other to mini camps, so again why does Lurie and Roseman need to be questioning college coaches about Vick and Foles and formations and philosophy. Let the coaches coach and stay the hell out of the way.
They don’t have a coach.
I’m not a coach, I don’t think you’re a coach either, but I know I would like to be a bug on the wall when when Chip Kelly is talking about his spread offense, and how it might work in the NFL. Wouldn’t you? I would want to know what he thinks of Nick Foles.
Hell, I’m not going to be a defensive lineman either, but I watched Pete Jenkins instructional tapes. And if I was an owner I would want to know about his coaching style.
Kaepernick might be the best runner ever. God damn
that’s crazy talk best runner ever but he sure is making vinnie look like a total idiot
He also throws a 93 mph fastball
Yeah. That Kapernick experiment sucks.
2 touchdowns throwing
2 touchsowns passing
Jim Harbaugh must be constantly just second guessing himself. Ownership must be pissed. SMH.
2 touchdowns running…
Oh I’m 100% compliment god damn he is amazing…. Fucking arm, legs smarts he might be a better RG3 than RG3
It’s that he’s bigger. Also RG3 has been babied a bit by Shanan…Harbaugh has taken the training wheels off of Kapernick and he’s shown that he can more than handle it.
Also San Fran is just an all round good team..which helps.
As far as the Eagles. They need to hire Lovie and make sure he gets a stud OC. Then and only then will there be hope for the Eagles.
At 6’5″ 230 lbs he might hold-up a little while to.
The real deal
I think hes better than rg3 too
Yo Kap is killing this GB Defense
I went to school with Gore. Dude couldn’t get laid to save his life. lol I’m sure he’s not having that problem now.
Vic Fangio or Gus Bradley.. It looks like its Gus job to lose…
harbaugh is tenacious and his teams feed off that.. I think lovie is too passive even though hes a good coach.. I want someone crazily brilliant
I don’t think that guy is out there. (they stayed in college)
Lovie won 10 games this season…that’ll take to the playoff in the East. We need an identity…and I’m fine with that being a defensive powerhous…Lovie’s D’s are not to be f*cked with.
We need some of that. If we can maul the East teams and beat a few others we are a guarantee in the playoffs year in adn year out.
Also dude went to a superbowl with Rex Grossman. Lovie can definitely deal with either Foles or Vick or whoever they decide to go with at QB.
Im a huge fan of Fangio, especialy the way he has shaped this defense. He could come right in and rebuild this entire defense the way he wants it to be.. And what a game Roman is calling tonight huh? Man, birds may add him to the list as well…
Okay.
Might be a fan of Fanglo now.
Lovies big mistake was hiring mike tice as the offensive coordinator .
Agreed. That’s why I say they (management) needs to make sure he hires a stud OC. Good OC and I think Lovie is the man.
4th quarter time to gore them ..
Fangio and his defense have shut the greenbay packers down in the 2nd half.. Fangio is a genius..
How bout us finding a way to get Greg Jennings this off season?
+1 on that
Greg Jennings had already informed his Agent that he has no interest in Philly . He wants Miami or San Diego per Sources..
Now if Eagles were to Hire Tom Clements or Winston Moss,
from the Packers, They would probably have a shot, but he’s going to where he will be a #1 Target and the big $$$$ snd that won’t happen this Free-Agency period where the Eagles need to cut $$ from this underachieving Roster and when they start releasing ayers (Vick, Jenkins, Asmo)
What other Veteran Player in demand is going to want to sign with the Sagles as word will be out that they don’t honor their Deals
Expect a year2 or 3 of no impact free-agents coming to Philly and that’s the way it will be since Rosenan F’d the Salary Cap Structure of this Team from the last 2 off-Seasons with poor signings and over-paying marginal Talent
Eagles will need to rebuild Roster with the Draft as all the shitty Teams need to do since they are not an Attractive Team to play for right now
I agree with that JH…But I would trade Maclin.
Maclins value is pretty high right now and he is pretty young. But I wouldn’t trade him. What the birds are lacking is size/speed combination at the wr position. Wouldn’t trading Maclin put us in more of a bind there?
Damn that Kapernick.
He sucks.
SMH.
Word from the Bay is that Fangio is not looking for a HC Position or to leave the area, has kids in High School & College and enjoys just being a DC
Which is why his name has not been out for Interviiews
2 Assts who are interested in HC Opportuniltues from the 49ers are
OC Roman (probably to Jaguars) and under the radar Special Teams and Asst HC Brad Seely who I like and is a outstanding Candidate to be a HC in the NFL though he is a little older and doesn’t fit the Lurie Profile but I think the Eagles would be making a mistake not to talk to him
Brad Seely, write it down..
If the Birds can get an interview with Vic Fangio, they gotta do it. Try and convince the man to come to Philly. Hes a defensive coaching genius. But if they cant get him both Lovie and Gus should be top targets..
Gus Bradley won’t come here just hire lovie or Gruden cause nobody else wants the job. They said on the news that Kelly took less money to stay a Norte dame. Huh yeah lurie this job is so desire able. You need a top flight quarterback to win in this league. Shot out to joe flaccid played like a big boy yesterday good for him. If Baltimore wins another Super Bowl maybe we can go hangout in their parade since their so close lol
Guys please realize that nobody of quality wants to come here. Who would set themselves up for failure like that. All those good coordinators you guys talking about will probably stay put rather than come here
You are a know nothing. Right guys want to stay a coordinator to make 850 instead of 3 or 5 million… Oh and taking the eagles job has proven to be a real career killer….hmmm the last coached got canned, was hired in three days with 100% control, fired the GM… Right taking the eagles job is a real killer
@cigar dude then why has everyone rejected them so far. Brian Kelly was on the news this morning and said he turned down the eagles job to stay at Norte dame for less money. Those top coordinators are looking for a good situation to go to. Yes eventually they will hire someone but it will be a last resort type guy.
