Coughlin?

Doesn't make much sense to me if this is the direction the Eagles go. He's obviously had success in the league and is more known commodity as opposed to a Doug Pederson or Sean McDermott, but it just doesn't make sense. I thought the Eagles were foolish not to even interview Hue Jackson - he was the guy I would have liked most followed by McDermott.

Any time you can land an aging coach that hasn't landed a 10 win season in 6 years, you've got to do it. I mean, his players hate him, but will change their tune and decide they like him if they win a Super Bowl on a jump ball in the middle of the field.
Andy Talley for head coach. Brad Childress OC, Brian Dawkins DC. Like to see a CEO type of head coach who trusts his offensive and defensive coordinators to handle x and o will he manages the fragile egos of today's players.
Grew up watching sharp dressed coaches like Hank Stram assume the role of leader and shaping the big picture. Today,s coaches look like poorly groomed air traffic controllers, with all of the electronic devices attached to their bodies franticly running up and down the sidelines. That is why you have assistants.

I agree. Apparel should definitely be a deciding factor in coaching selection. I would take Jack Del Rio any day over Belichick.
valid point on mcdermott. i'm still holding out hope there. not sure i like pederson as the HC - does he keep shurmur? which means hopefully that they keep bradford. or is this a complete andy reid redo multi year rebuild situation. if that's the case, at least we know that we already have the necessary c+ receivers.
My only hesitation on Pederson is that none of the coaches from Reid's tree on the offensive side have fared too well. But Pederson seemed to do a good job in KC this season when Charles went down. The running game did not miss a beat with West and Ware. I know Reid said he gave up some of the play calling duties to Pederson at times but who knows how much of that is true.

None of these names are better than chip kelly absent the player control responsibilities.
Good for him. Plus the Kelly/Arians rivalry can continue.
I would be willing the bet $$ that Chip Kelly leads the 49ers to a Super Bowl before the Eagles.

This. I like Chipper's style. I hope he learns from his CoP mistakes (being a d*ck, discarding all his talented players, etc.) and gets it right in San Fran.
Chip will need to be a genius to survive in that spot. We have seen how he has fared against the NFC West while he was here and now he's gotta see them 6 times a year. Almost an impossible situation for him to succeed. They will need to be very patient with him. He's not exactly a patient personality. Will be a fascinating follow.
now he gets to spend an entire game bitching to the refs for pass interference against seattle twice a year
That's also total yards......when you look at points they are:
2013 - 6 (tied)
2014 - 16
2015 - 9
More importantly they have ranked near the bottom at giveaways which has been the Eagles biggest bugaboo on offense.

I have no clue if Doug Pederson will be a good coach or not, but what I do know is that he's already behind the eight ball....

So they are essentially saying "we ****ed up by firing Andy Reid, let's get a watered down version of him."
I was hoping Juan Castillo would return as DC.
thats why his resume reads the following
2011- out of NFL
2012- Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator
2013 to present- game spread analyst for KC (whatever that means)
So Childress hasnt had any success as an offensive coordinator? Guess what genius, you need PLAYERS. He had them when he was Eagles OC. He didnt have them in Clev. Shocking he failed there. Do you know who was on the Browns offense then?
Compared to the Browns in the one year he was there? Yes, he has players. They need more. Thanks to the douche who just left town.

What exactly does an offensive coordinator do if doesn't run the offense, as was Childress' case under Reid?
