2016 Head Coach Search

[ice grillin you]

Haslem tried to get him a couple years ago and they built a relationship from there

well for starters Miami has the city Miami which makes it better but they also have a qb to work with...if Bradford was locked in and gase  liked cold gritty northeast cities over south beach then Eagles would have an advantage but I doubt he will

the X factor is maybe howie and Jeff put on a better sell than everyone else and blow him away...you see those two wowing anyone tho much less doing it better than everyone else

[PhillyPhreak54]

I can see the Giants being more desirable but not Tennessee.

I look at it from ownership and FO stability. Which the Eagles have in Lurie but not in the FO. But Cleveland is a mess and that has to be factored in whether he likes Haslem or not. Miami doesn't have ownership or FO stability either.

Tampa opening up could be a game changer

[ice grillin you]

not sure you should be saying Jeff and howie are better than anyone right now after the catastrophe with chip including Cleveland

they certainly aren't so much better than anyone else that it would be a deal maker

another factor is that Cleveland and Miami have top ten picks coming up...miamis is eight and your not going to choose a team cause they pick five spots higher than another but it is a check in their column....Cleveland at two is pretty big tho

again I'm not saying any of these are necessarily way better and some you can argue aren't better at all but put them all together against the birds and I just don't see them coming out on top

not saying the eagles are some kind of heaven, but miami is an organizational mess and you gotta get past the coach that was barely above chip in j's rankings 2 seconds ago

[Rome]

Cleveland, Miami and the Giants are better choices than the Eagles?

I don't see how Miami is any more of an organizational mess than the eagles...I wouldn't categorize either as a mess...but whatever state you'd describe them in one is really no different than the other...shtein most of this board was killing jeffy last week for  not knowing what he was doing having vague player personnel by committee thing with howie and who knows who else...there's also the issue of everyone fearing whether anyone wants to work with howie

I don't personally buy into that stuff as much as most but the same people who kill jeffy and have these worries are the same people acting like the Eagles are better than anyone else

if the Eagles are going to beat Miami then it's going to be primarily on presentation...lurie and howie are going to have to do a great sell job...things like passion of the fanbase sports crazed town and hope those intangibles matter to gase...Eagles also have an advantage over most teams in facilities...that def helps

[PhillyPhreak54]

I didn't say Howie was better

Go re-read

[ice grillin you]

so howie is a complete disaster and lurie is an idiot for having him as his right hand man but the eagle FO is def better than the dolphins

i guess you must think don smolenski is the best president in all of sports then

[PhillyPhreak54]

Howie is Lurie's blind spot

Other than that Lurie is a good owner and well respected

Or do you disagree with that too?

[ice grillin you]

i like both lurie and howie better than you....im just confused how howie can be so awful but the eagles have a more desireable FO....you do know that howie will be the new coaches boss?

[Susquehanna Birder]

WIP guy (DeGaetano) is saying that Gase has an offer in hand from these guys:

[General_Failure]

If you told me those three were starring in some zesty comedy about a mid-life crisis I'd believe you.

[ice grillin you]

im not 100% saying thats untrue...but it sure sounds like a false leak by an agent to get all the other gase fanboys to up their ante...certainly the eagles would never release that info

[PhillyPhreak54]

I give up

Yeah, they've been known to play the media a little themselves. But it does fall in line with my reasoning posted before. They like him, and he's making sure there isn't something better before he returns for that second "interview." If he does come back, it will be to accept the offer and do all the photo op fan handjob nonsense.
