Eagles fire McDermott

[SD]

After listening to Moss I hope they pass.

He really did an interview 4 days before the Super Bowl?

Way to keep your eye on the ball douchbag.

He babbles a lot and comes off as a kiss ass. They asked  him questions about the D and he started naming every player and how great they all were. Pass.

so how many years does Howie give him, i think 4

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Black guys can't be kiss-asses. He would be an Uncle Tom in that case.

Also, apparently Roy Horton is very interested in becoming a DC, and Trgovac wants to keep his options open.

sounds like someone who would have no problem snuggling in the pocket of banner inc

The NFL's defensive player of the year is well-acquainted with Ray Horton and Darren Perry, two possible candidates for the Eagles' defensive coordinator position. Steelers safety Troy Polamalu said he thinks either man would be a fine choice.

First, Polamalu on Horton, his current secondary coach: "first of all, he's got the toughest job on this team, coaching the secondary," Polamalu said. "The reason I say that is, we're always a run-stop defense first. There's always a lot of pressure for the secondary to tackle, but our responsibility is not to get beat deep. That's a lot of pressure for the players and the secondary coach. He's been here a long time and he's handled that. He has an in-depth understanding of the defense coach (Dick) LeBeau teaches, and he has an in-depth understanding of what the offense is doing, personnel groups, percentages."

Perry was Polamalu's secondary coach his first four years. Now he coaches safeties for the Packers. "He's like a father to me," Polamalu said. "he taught me so much. We've been through a whole lot, because my rookie year wasn't very good. I had to lean on him a lot, emotionally as well as learning the defense. I don't know much about this game, but I would think Darren Perry and Ray Horton would be great candidates for defensive coordinator jobs."

Here's an idea:  Get players like Polamaulu and it wont matter who is coaching them.
