Eagles fire McDermott

[ice grillin you]

the accountability aspect of this move is awesome...im just saying from an on the field point of view its much about nothing

[Feva]

Whatever, man. Call it the first step. Good move by the FO.

[Munson]

No...Igy MUST bitch about it.





Whether the talent is there or not, there's absolutely 0 question in my mind that the defense would have been better with a Coordinator that understand the abilities of his defense and used them as such.

[QB Eagles]

Reid said Kolb would be the starting quarterback no matter what. Then he watched the tape and decided he had to go with Mike Vick.

A few days ago, Reid said they weren't firing McDermott. I guess Andy finally got around to watching the tape.

[PhillyPhreak54]

[Rome]

Wow

[PhillyGirl]

This move is meaningless without a change in personnel on the field, but nothing about his defensive schemes worked.  Nothing. 

The red zone defense was the worst too.  There's only 30 yards of field to cover and I don't know how many times players just walked into the end zone against this defense.  That's why I wanted him gone.

Seriously? You think the problems were only due to the players and the coaches had nothing to do with it?

[SunMo]

this is the eagles taking the easy way out with the fans, they make this change and look good to most of the dummies who think he was the problem.  now, when they again don't draft or sign an impact defensive player...they can say "we changed the defensive coordinator like you wanted"

[Eagaholic]

So Reid makes his decisions on firing coaches based on what the fans want?

[Munson]

They aren't/weren't signing or drafting an impact defensive player anyway, so what's your point?
