2016 Head Coach Search

[MDS]

Can't recall where I heard it - maybe on CSN? - but someone was saying Duce was a sleeper to make some noise in the search. Lurie loves him.

I don't think he's ready but I'd love to see him stay on as a coach or even OC

what on earth makes you think he would be a good playcaller, other than the fact that he played for the eagles 10 years ago

the one thing he did for chip was rotate rbs and he was pitiful at that, so i cant imagine hed be any good doing something more involved

[PhillyPhreak54]

I knew you'd have something to say

What made you think Reid would be good coming from being just a QB coach? Oh that's right you didn't think that. But yet he was.

So save your keystrokes buddy

[Butchers Bill]

Jim Harbaugh was "just" a special teams coach and he's done alright.

Experience is overrated to some extent. You don't want a rube in the position, which Kelly frankly turned out to be, but you don't need Lombardi incarnate either.

Adam Schefter
Eagles RB coach Duce Staley had interviewed for Philadelphia's head coaching job, per @Edwerderespn.

Maybe they just wanted to get the Rooney rule out of the way as soon as possible

That's what I figured but apparently they really like him and could offer him a promotion, but I don't see how he's an Associate HC or an OC for a new head coach. I would expect Hue Jackson to be interviewed too

[BigEd76]

Florio says the Eagles are one of three teams (Miami, Cleveland) that will aggressively pursue Adam Gase, and since they already satisfied the Rooney Rule, they can talk to and hire him as soon as Monday (but there's absolutely zero chance of that happening)

I'd be all in on Duce. I don't care if he's not ready, there's no farging talent for him to coach anyway. If the next two years are going to be a dumpster fire, why not? Worse case scenario is he's a different kind of inept from Andy and Chip.

I think it's safe to say Taco Tuesdays would be back.

So there's no downside whatsoever.

I love everything about the idea of Duce being hired. This team is going to blow for the foreseeable future but l bet he knows how to use a game clock better than either Chip or Andy. Plus he loves philly and philly might actually love him back. That could go a long way towards making a rebuild fun instead of intolerable.

[Sgt PSN]

I'm all in on Duce staying with the team in some coaching capacity but I don't think I want him as a HC....not yet. Gotta see him do more than just work with the RB before being put in charge of an entire roster.

Don't get me wrong, if by chance he's hired I'll be rooting for the guy like crazy. He's definitely one of my favorite Eagles ever.  I just don't think he's ready and I also don't think this is the right time for Lurie to take another huge risk. That said, he's less risky than Chip, imo.

[Rome]

I would actually start giving a shtein about this team again if they hired Duce.  Seriously, get.

[QB Eagles]

Plus he loves philly and philly might actually love him back. That could go a long way towards making a rebuild fun instead of intolerable.

He'll go 3-13 and then we'll all hate him. Why ruin a good thing?

[hbionic]

We're all in regardless of who they get iceholes. Don't kid yourselves. Nothing they'll do will make you not give a shtein short of the team moving to L.A.

[Diomedes]

I root for laundry.

My interest level in this meaningless week 17 game went up about a million percent starting Tue evening. The only way it goes down from here is if they hire a Pagano or Caldwell type guy.
