2016 Head Coach Search

[hunt]

Or they're waiting for someone else to interview. 

But panic.

like mcdermott or mcdaniels?  yeah, just said that. 

[smeags]

He may have missed our posts in his geritol rage.

[ice grillin you]

I seriously would rather have Peterson

yeah, i think i would too...why hire an old guy for 2-3 seasons & have to do this all over again.

at this point, i'd take mcdermott over coughlin, pederson, etc...might even take mcdaniels.

a lot of what ive heard is that it wouldnt be so much as starting over but it would be coughlin with a successor...which is also assinine...why do you want all the players knowing this is a short term thing..and why lock yourself into a successor who you have no idea will ever be ready...its also not like coughlin has produced this plethora of great underlings who have gone on to super successful careers in coaching...duce is the only "candidate" i would put below coughlin

mcdaniels was my number 2 behind gase the whole time...not that id be overly excited but i think he could do something with a second chance...i also have more faith in him putting together a good staff than i do most of the others....be fine with mcdermott as well

[Eagles_Legendz]

I will preface this by admitting it's an absurd name to throw out, but if they bring in Coughlin they need assistants who at least are willing to modernize schemes and systems...

Lane Kiffin for OC anyone?

(ducks)

[ice grillin you]

 id take lane kiffin as HC over coughlin

[Rome]

Try as I might I just can't work up enough give a shtein over the wait.   Whoever they pick will either be a surprise or not.  He'll either be a success or he won't.   I'll still watch and hope eventually they'll win a Super Bowl before I croak.   

[QB Eagles]

Those of you pinning your hopes to the Eagles waiting to interview McDaniels or McDermott should be aware of this: coaches on teams with bye weeks must have their first interview during the bye week. Then they are allowed to have the second interview before the Super Bowl.

If there's no first interview during the bye, the interviewing team has to wait for the coach's team to be out of the playoffs. The Super Bowl is on February 7 this year.

For what it's worth, Pederson said it was his understanding that he was the last candidate the Eagles were going to interview.

[smeags]

That was my understanding and i'd be fine with waiting till then.

lol.....good to have all this in one place

[QB Eagles]

The point being, if they were gonna interview those guys, they would have interviewed them already.

[ice grillin you]

maybe...maybe not...we wont know until they are eliminated

maybe the eagles know mcdermott would take an offer so theres no need to interview him yet....maybe mcdaniels didnt want to interfere with his game prep and is holding off until next week

maybe they simply arent interested in any of them too

but to straight up say they arent interested in anyone they havent already interviewed is silly

[QB Eagles]

McDaniels can't interview next week unless the Patriots lose. If the Patriots go to the Super Bowl the Eagles can't so much as talk to him until the second week of February. All because the Eagles passed on talking to him during the bye week, they were too busy talking to McAdoo I guess. Doesn't seem like a team that is planning on going after McDaniels.

McDermott interviewed with the Bucs and Browns, pretty wild if the Eagles just assume they can swoop in on him so they don't even bother interviewing him when the other teams do.

you could be right but I wonder if there are reasons not known for sure as to why these guys haven't interviewed. 

im probably delusional on this line of thinking but im an eagles fan so ..

[Rome]

I'm not pinning my hopes on it, but they waited this long after being the first out of the gate with firing Chip, so at least they're taking their time and not rushing things.   

As for Gase, Jackson or McAdoo, are they really that big of losses?   I was interested in Jackson because he somehow managed an 8-8 record with a lousy Raiders team, but I'm not crestfallen over it. 

We just need to chill.

yes i think even hb knows that you cant interview coaches until they are elimated or on their bye week...this has been established for years and years

mcdermott also said in an interview hed all but take the eagles job if offered...so if they were interested in him there is certainly no rush

i dont really get the point....are you saying that no team has ever conducted a first interview with a candidate after the wild card weekend?
