2016 Head Coach Search

[PhillyPhreak54]

Maybe because you're the lone wolf here it says something?

My thoughts on Duce now have nothing to do with him as a player

hes received a lot of praise and has worked his way up from an intern

But you're taking the lazy way out so you can take shots

[MDS]

sorry im not a fanboy who sends thank you letters to players

you generally never hear anything bad about position coaches...what good has been said about him? shady and him were boys....chip and andy with some empty platitudes? terrific.

like i said he couldnt even successfully rotate the rbs in and was kept around by chip. thats 2 major strikes against you.

you 100% are entertaining this idea because he played for the eagles...if this was preist holmes, not duce, you wouldnt even think to react to it

i for one dont want anyone even associated with that arrogant college coach, but thats just me. we all know youre still a chip bot

[PhillyPhreak54]

Lolol ok

This is my last post on this bc I don't know if you're trolling or stupid enough to believe what you're typing

Are they empty platitudes because they were bestowed upon him by two guys who you hate? Or maaaaaybe just maybe you're wrong and he's a good coach?

You're wrong that I'm entertaining this solely because he played. You're wrong a lot lately

Do you want the STs coach? He's good and was associated with Chip. Or you gonna be stupid and say he should be gone bc he's a Chip guy?

Duce is a good coach. Is he ready to be a HC? Probably not but I think he's worth keeping around.

All you do is rip other people with lousy "logic" - and never say who you want it that anyone is good

[MDS]

i dont give a shtein who the rb coach is. hows that?

so to recap
1. duce is awesome
2. go eagles
3. chip is still a genius

No one cars, you dork. Shut up.

The Philadelphia Eagles may already have a top choice to fill the team's head coaching vacancy, and according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, it's Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson who is "expected to be a leading candidate" for the Eagles.

Pederson, 47, was the quarterbacks coach for the Eagles before leaving to take over as offensive coordinator for the Chiefs in 2013. While the Chiefs offense hasn't even cracked the top 20 in total yards in each of his three seasons, the team has been above the league average in scoring and is No. 9 in points in 2015.

The Chiefs haven't lost since Week 6 and carry a nine-game winning streak into the final game of the year on Sunday. Even after losing Jamaal Charles for the season, the Chiefs have managed to excel on offense by avoiding mistakes and could become the first team in franchise history to win 10 consecutive games.

Pederson played 10 seasons in the NFL, including spending the 1999 season with the Eagles where he started nine games. He led the team to just a 2-7 record with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions, though, and spent seven of his 10 career seasons as Brett Favre's backup with the Green Bay Packers.

The Eagles also interviewed Duce Staley, another one of the team's former players for the head coaching vacancy. Staley was the leading rusher for the Eagles during Pederson's year with the team, and he is currently finishing his third season as the running backs coach in Philadelphia.

Like Les Bowen said - if the top candidate is Pederson then the line of people willing to work with Howie is short.

And...so we can expect Donovan to take over as HC shortly thereafter?!

people always gravitate to unknowns - you take someone like Duce & you have an ex-player who was beloved and who has a personality that the fanbase appreciates, so you're going to get a lot of people giving him the benefit of the doubt (maybe irrationally so), because no one really knows whether he's even a good RB coach, let alone has the capacity to be a good head coach.  But you take the qualities which show he connects with the city, and has roots here, and you're going to get people willing to roll the dice on him for the unknown quality, rather than what people will view as a known quantity with Pederson I'm assuming.

Pretty spot on here.

Good post and cracks the "durrr I like the Eagles" nonsense

[Rome]

I'd say the evidence that Duce is a quality RB coach is fairly clear.

[SD]

No on Pederson too

[PhillyPhreak54]

Glazer said the Eagles called Andy and asked for his opinion on some guys thus the Pederson interest

Also Payton, if let go in NO, will be coveted by IND and SF

DGunn says the Pederson rumor is false per three sources

[JackStraw]

with OL, QB and WR in dumpster it's a 3-year deal. HC doesn't matter as much to me as who the DC is. Find a JJ under the cover of all the HC hype from CK car crash rubberneckers. Build/FA a nasty D, draft OL in 16, run the farging pill with murray etc., and try to scrounge as many picks as possible for 2017 draft.

A HC who is "team" is fine - it let's Howie play out. Just get a farging DC who channels JJ.

Eckel says it's a bum report too

Schefter being a shill for Pederson via Doug's agent?
