i'm optimistic too, but who knows how this will go. Heard today that the Colts didn't have any interest in getting Carson despite them not having a QB with Rivers retiring.I am weirdly optimistic about this hire. He works well with QBs. Reich disciple. This was all about fixing Carson Wentz and this is probably the best guy for the job.
He is very young though and doesn't have play calling experience. But hey, I don't think Pederson did either and that worked out well.
Feel bad for Duce though, I wouldn't have mind him as coach. Bienemy too.
maybe they brought him on with the intention to promote Duce to O.C.? i have no idea what the plan is with him and the offenseGot to imagine Duce says "I'm out" after this. He's run his course here.
Only way he stays but not sure how the new HC sees him.maybe they brought him on with the intention to promote Duce to O.C.? i have no idea what the plan is with him and the offense
I pretty much do t believe anything McClane says. He never has named sources.I think this is total b.s., but now is the time to post it to motivate the Eagles:

From an NFL source familiar w/ Sirianni’s credentials as a HC: “Good guy, solid candidate. Fairly smart but not super smart. Concern is he is likely to top out at a B-level coach for team that is in the mix to make the playoffs, but not a real SB chance. Low drama, even keel.”
And the sources credentials are HUGE for a comment like that.I pretty much do t believe anything McClane says. He never has named sources.
I’ll admit my first reaction to this news was a hit of disappointment Duce wasn’t going to get a shot. Let’s see what happens with the staff over the next few days.Got to imagine Duce says "I'm out" after this. He's run his course here.
I don’t really for Duce. He just needs more experience and somewhere else (maybe college as a play caller?) is best for a bit.Feel bad for Duce though, I wouldn't have mind him as coach. Bienemy too.
I had not heard that.I don’t really for Duce. He just needs more experience and somewhere else (maybe college as a play caller?) is best for a bit.
Hell, Bienemy refused to interview with us.
I think fixing Wentz is factored in but at the same time this guy has to run a team as well. I’ll be very curious who he signs as his other coaches.i'm optimistic too, but who knows how this will go.

Maybe this is Eagles front office getting Reich back for when he left to Indy by taking one of his guys
Yeah same day we interviewed Bowles we were supposed to interview him and he never responded back but interviewed with the Texans. Rumors were that Reid and Vitt (?) told him not to because of how we treated DougI had not heard that.
I hope he has the authority to pull the pin on Wentz after a year if he thinks its for the best. If even ¼ of the rumoured stuff is true and it continues, there’ll be no fixing him.I think fixing Wentz is factored in but at the same time this guy has to run a team as well.

The mic’d up clip I shared reminded me of a McVay one I saw before he ended up being a HC. Same type of energy
would think this means, at the least, he showed good football IQ.Sirianni began coaching the year after he graduated from college at his alma mater, Mt. Union, as the defensive backs coach
read this yesterday, though "rumor" type of thing, that Reid may have influenced his non-interest.Yeah same day we interviewed Bowles we were supposed to interview him and he never responded back but interviewed with the Texans.

but houston is a good place to work?Yeah same day we interviewed Bowles we were supposed to interview him and he never responded back but interviewed with the Texans. Rumors were that Reid and Vitt (?) told him not to because of how we treated Doug
Or he might have just called Doug and got it first hand. Can’t imagine Doug would be sugar coating the situation for anyone at this point. Him and EB overlapped for a few years in KC, they could be friends.read this yesterday, though "rumor" type of thing, that Reid may have influenced his non-interest.
#3 probably Waddle, opinions are split but supposedly at one point he was mocked as the top WR as well.GoBirds said:Say we do that how big is the talent drop off to the #3 WR this year and what’s the furthest back you can drop and get him?
I’m sure having worked with Reich he’d have a good idea how to work with Wentz. Wentz like Howie have to know they’re on a short leashI hope he has the authority to pull the pin on Wentz after a year if he thinks its for the best. If even ¼ of the rumoured stuff is true and it continues, there’ll be no fixing him.
Yeah and we don’t know for sure but we do know is that he didn’t want to do it.read this yesterday, though "rumor" type of thing, that Reid may have influenced his non-interest.
I’m pretty sure Watson has been advocating for him and they screwed him over once alreadybut houston is a good place to work?
Maybe but his father and brother were both coaches at the school as well.from Google searches, hired into KC under Todd Haley then promoted to WR coach under Crennel there. Mike McCoy hired him as the QB coach in 2013 for the Chargers then QB coach in 2016. This is where he worked with Reich and Rivers. Reich took him along to Indy as the OC in 2018 and Rivers eventually joining there this past season.
seems to me Reich groomed him for the past few seasons and there's reason to be optimistic about this hire. the connection to Reich I'm sure had a lot to do with the choice, hopefully it's the right one for Wentz since as he goes, we go. overall as a leader though, jury remains silent. not much to go on.
going further back, from Wiki,
would think this means, at the least, he showed good football IQ.
rest of that quote then...Maybe but his father and brother were both coaches at the school as well.
From there, he progressed to IUP where he served under Lou Tepper as the wide receivers coach.
Yep. Comes down to staff and who calls the plays.Don't hate it. Really interested to see what kind of staff he puts together.
Hilton sucked in 2020 & I am sure other example under him. Don't cherry pick =p“I think one silver lining of this is Sirianni is likely to retain the aggressive decision making Doug brought to the league. I believe the Colts were the most aggressive team in 4th down/two point situations when analytics supported it.
If Sirianni retains this thought process (I imagine he would coaching under Reich and coming to a forward thinking organization in Philly) I think it’s a good start. I would also think this hire makes it more likely they draft a WR at No. 6
Background as a WRs coach, and the Eagles, after cuts, are going to have one capable player at the position going into the season. The offense in Indy made a point of getting guys in YAC situations.
Overall, players were improved under him. Tyrell Williams was a 1,000 yard WR, Keenan Allen was a 1,300 yard WR in his first healthy season with Sirianni, Hilton a 1,200 yard WR in 2018 in just 14 games. Probably bodes well for Reagor.“
That English?Hilton sucked in 2020 & I am sure other example under him. Don't cherry pick =p
This is a huge compliment coming from you.No opinion on the hire.
Not sure why everyone is giving up on Raegor so quickly. He showed a ton of promise I thoughtDeranged Hermit said:Unfortunately I think that's where the best value will be. My choice would be Sewell, but I think there's little chance he gets past Miami. Even if he does, there's no way Cincy passes on him.
The LB from Penn State is interesting, but I don't think they pass on Smith or Chase.
*sigh* If only they had taken Jefferson last year.
You're in denial if you don't wish they had taken Jefferson, but that's old news and Reagor did show some positives towards the end of the year.Not sure why everyone is giving up on Raegor so quickly. He showed a ton of promise I thought
Hopefully both sides have seen what that gets them. We'll see.I come in peace and mean this with all sincerity. It sounds like a “control” (puppet) hire - something Jerry Jones would do (aka Garrett).
Smart guy, engaging, good with QBs and seemingly sharing managements views.
As a group, can we agree to let this go before it becomes another Graham-Thomas thing? Not picking on you Ash, just wish everyone would get over it since it's history, like you said. I'm guessing Jefferson would have looked like ### here anyway in this offense and we'd be wishing we did something different.You're in denial if you don't wish they had taken Jefferson,
Um, in the next few words I said that's old news? I agree. Besides I'm sure we'll have something new to complain about after Howie's next draft.As a group, can we agree to let this go before it becomes another Graham-Thomas thing?

I will give him a chance. Really don't know anything about him.This is a huge compliment coming from you.
Is it just me or does that also describe Doug 5 years ago.I think this is total b.s., but now is the time to post it to motivate the Eagles:

I just read that article. Calling McDaniels "more qualified" is a stretch given the huge number of red flags he comes with. *That* would have seemed like a desperation move IMO. Also saw elsewhere the Pats offensive DVOA the 3 years McDaniels was gone were 1st, 1st and 5th (I think, on the last one?). They clearly didn't fall apart without him.Is it just me or does that also describe Doug 5 years ago.
I'm not giving up on him, they just need more help there. If Sewell is there, by all means they should take him. Big need. I just don't think anyone else gives you the pedigree that the two WR do except maybe Parsons. They certainly can use help at LB.Not sure why everyone is giving up on Raegor so quickly. He showed a ton of promise I thought
My concern is if Duce was so good how come others in the league haven’t come calling? Seems like a nice guy and he was the players mouth piece relaying the negative stuff a Kelly was doing to Lurie so it’s one of the reasons they liked him. However why aren’t other teams calling for him? Wouldn’t mind him as an OC first but I think we tend to overate overrate our own here at times.Got to imagine Duce says "I'm out" after this. He's run his course here.
Sounds like BS literally ever article I e read says how smart he is. Jeff is just butthurt as usual throwing a temper tantrumI think this is total b.s., but now is the time to post it to motivate the Eagles:

I read he coaches to guys strengths and tries to coach them in a positive way not going on the negatives. Seemed more of he coaches players through what their best assets are only brings in negatives when it has to be doneI think fixing Wentz is factored in but at the same time this guy has to run a team as well. I’ll be very curious who he signs as his other coaches.
