Head Coach Search.

so lemme ask you this DB: If Reid didn't like Howie or get along with him, why would he send Doug Pederson to have to work with him?

Good question. I heard that Reid wants to hire or promote another coach to replace Pederson, so he wants to dump him on Lurie. I wouldn't discount that.

You're not giving Howie enough credit for being the manipulative snake he is

I can't give Howie credit for that because it doesn't make sense. Who The F is Howie Roseman to demand that type of loyalty???

HC opportunities are rare - same reason why Hue Jackson chose for Cleveland, where HC's go to see their career die. Also, Pederson might have, depending on the set up, some decent supporting cast.

Kinda cold blooded and completely anti-Reid.

The prodigal son?

Who Howie is, I do not know - but I have seen similar people in real life, ingratiating themselves with someone to the point where they are completely blind to that person's faults.

Some writer out there needs to get THIS story. Inquiring minds want to know

2nd time you posted this dumb shit. I already explained it to you once. Brad Childress is already there. Andy always let's his coaches leave when they have a chance to move up the ranks. And he usually has a capable replacement ready. It's one of the reasons his coaches are all over the league right now.

Old duke is posting dumb shit that is divorced from reality because he's mad.

 

[Iggloo]

Is Lurie planning to move the team to London? Because this is not going to please anyone.

 

[DutchBird]

Rumour has it that the Eagles are going after Jim Schwartz (the former DET HC) as the DC.

 

[Iggloo]

That guy? Man, this is going to be a rough period.

 

[DutchBird]

Whom are you referring to? Jim Schwartz?

Allegedly he made a pretty good DC, just a disastrous HC. Also, one of the strengths of Reid was that he brought in a staff that could (at least partially) run itself in JJ and keeping Harbaugh. Might try to do the same here as well, something which might actually the most viable option.

 

[WIZ]

Awesome if he gets Schwartz. Top level DC. You guys hating this are ridiculous. Give this a chance, nine out of ten "great" hires fail. Why would you jump off the bridge before you saw the product?

I like how no other team interviewed Pederson for a new job -- I fully trust Lurie and Roseman see something special in Pederson. Many don't know this, but Pederson did a fantastic job as the head coach of Calvary Baptist Academy High School, going 33-7 years 2005-2008. If he can turn a bunch of soft bible thumpers into a 33-7 squad, imagine what he can do with our soft Chip Kelly leftovers!

In all seriousness like Rey mentioned in another thread, or maybe the same thread earlier, too lazy to check -- but none of us on a message board can really know if this is truly a good hire or not. What I will say is that from the outside looking in, it doesn't look good. I'm not excited or impressed by this hire at all, but I'm more than open to being proved wrong -- I was vocal about how much I didn't want Chip Kelly on the KFFL board, but I jumped on the bandwagon during our first year under his reign. Hopefully Doug can prove me wrong, and for longer than Chip Kelly did.

I need a drink

 

[DaEagles]

Perfect

We got the one of the hottest, up and coming, Coordinators out there. We were lucky enough to be the only team out of 7 to get him to come in and interview. Think about that, he wasn't even interviewed by others.

In Chip we tr....oh shit, never mind. In Pederson we tr....fuck it. They both suck. I will wait for the Reid nut huggers to start their topic on how they trust the guy...LOL.

Terrible day for Eagles football when you gotta take the scraps cause no one (except Pederson) want's to come there...LOL

 

[WIZ]

Oh and say what you want about Reid but he isn't dumping his friend on the Eagles. He's not some evil dumbass. He's a good dude and a great coach.

 

[Iggloo]

I am not buying the conspiracy theory on Reid dumping Pederson on us.

But I AM buying the theory that no real coaches want to come here to coach under Howie with no line and Sam Bradford.

 

[deerpathdave]

Yep. trainwreck complete. Gase turned them down. Then the Giants seriously out maneuvered them. I suspect that the Giants knew all along someone was going to make a play for MacAdoo, so they got ahead of the game and let Coughlin go in advance. Don't know if the Eagles were interested in Koetter in Tampa, but they pulled the same maneuver there. Then Cleveland showed Hue some love before the Eagles made a move on him (reportedly the Eagles were interested a little late). Then Coughlin says no thanks as he knows he can't put together a staff (again the Giants outmaneuvered them there).

So the Eagles missed out on there top 1, 2, 3, 4 or maybe even 5 choices and end up hiring a guy that no one else even talked to and has a very mediocre resume.

For me the day was not a total loss as Chip Kelly was hired in SF. So I guess for now I am a 49er fan. I am sure I will drop in here on occasion to comment. There is something about a dead critter rotting by the side of the road that makes you slow down and take a look.

Bye.

Who The F is Howie Roseman to demand that type of loyalty???

Exactly.
