Yeah, just saw La Canfora tweet this. Might be second interviews with candidates, but no one new planned.

Staley

Shurmur

McAdoo

Coughlin

Pederson

I'm assuming Duce is not the guy.

Assuming not Shurmur either. Not sure why they would still bring the others in. Gonna be Pederson or a Giant.

EDT: Imagine if the Giants hire Marrone and McAdoo is mad so he follows Coughlin to Philly :P

and one of my biggest concerns with Pederson is that he just brings in a boring offense. I'm only basing that on what we have seen, but what i loved about Chip was that he tried something new and brought an exciting element to the gameplan. I get nervous seeing what pederson has overseen in the past, and with this KC offense the past few years, we are in for a lot of boring games. If it means wins that is cool i guess, but i like the excitement factor is possible

:shrug: Winning is exciting. I don't care if we run the boring Chiefs offense to do it. Our D sure was exciting the last couple of years though.

Read on BGN Eagles and Coughlin are close, but some contractual sticking points with Medicare Part D and Social Security offsets are holding things up. Also some pre-existing conditions need to be detailed. :P

Howie has his work cut out for him.

Over / Under on Coughlin's Social Security Number?

I say it's 3.

I thought I read that Lurie has other meeting/ obligations this week. I'm thinking we pick back up after some teams are eliminated this weekend

 
Back to Bradford... Seems like franchising him is easily the best move.

A contract is going to be pushing 18+ mil a season, if franchising him is around 19 mil - getting him on a one year deal with whoever our new coach is to see how he fits seems like a no brainer.

I don't know the exact formula now but I think a franchise tag is closer to the $22mil mark.Actually just found this story.

http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25378860/agents-take-von-miller-headlines-2016-franchise-tag-candidates

Looks like QB could only be around $19.7mil if the cap is $154mil. I'd do that without a thought and just ride it out. Unless Sam wants to sign for $16m per year, get him for the one year at around what you'd have to pay him anyway and see what he can do.

I added this on the Chip thread. It may have been worse than we even know.

The fact that he hasn't even received an interview from Tennessee is so telling. I'm beginning to think he never coaches in the NFL again.

The fact that Mularkey is considered by some to be the favorite with the Titans also makes you think they're looking for somebody, umm, affordable.

He got one from SF though. But I am actually surprised people aren't even kicking the tires on him. I'm sure owners chat more then we think, and I'm sure there's a few deal-breakers out there that Lurie has told his other owner buddies about what went down.

Wonder what he does next year. There's not many high profile college jobs left, does he take a year off or become an OC in the NFL? Let's hire him as ours! :P

To not even have him in is whats telling IMO. He has only had the one interview too. I thought he'd at least have interviewed 3-4 times by now

 
from rotoworld:

ESPN's Adam Schefter considers Giants OC Ben McAdoo the "frontrunner" for the Eagles' head-coaching job.

"In my mind, my sense -- these are just senses -- is that McAdoo is the front-runner," Schefter said. "But I don't know that to be right. I think [Chiefs OC Doug] Pederson and McAdoo both are square in the conversation. But to me, I would handicap McAdoo as the favorite for whatever that's worth and we'll see if that's proven right." Schefter doesn't consider ex-Giants coach Tom Coughlin a realistic option for the Eagles, citing his age.
 
I think the fact that they could hire McAdoo or Coughlin right now, and they haven't, indicates that the Eagles are waiting to hire Doug Pederson.

Like everyone else, this is just a guess.

On the surface it would seem like it's Peterson. Lurie loved/ loves Reid and surely values his opinion. Unless Peterson bombed on the interview it would look like his job. I like what I have read about McAdoo as well so I wouldn't be mad if they went with him. The more I think about Coughlin the more I don't like him. Previously I liked his clout and hard nature but Im worrying more and more that we will be done coaching within 3 years. That is a bigger issue and we're not that bad that we need him to "get us on track" before someone else takes over.

Right now I just don't want Duce, Coughlin or Shurmer as HC

And I guess after the Cincy debacle we canceled the Guenther interview?

i'm guessing Eagles brought Coughlin to discuss McAdoo. I am sure they discussed it so it wasn't a surprise and they maybe simply discussed football. I have to think if I am Lurie i would want to speak with some veteran guys around the league and kind of ask what the heck happened. Maybe even just get Coughlin's take on why Chip failed with the locker room and a sense of what Coughlin did differently when he had a similar disconnect with his players.

 
So, while we go on this merry-go-round of coach interviews (and i am hoping the Eagles are not missing on jumping on a good candidate), i posted this in the Chip Kelly, and would love to hear any thoughts in here on it:

i'd love to see the argument with the DBs as a whole, specifically CBs. I honestly am not sure if they could have done worse than Fletcher and Williams (and i would love to see a nice write up on Boykin, and a real good analysis of how he seemed to be a good up and comer as a nickle back with the Eagles, to being almost out of the league when he went to Pitt)

 
I also have to think Lurie wouldn't fire Chip the way he did unless he had an idea of who he would bring on. Unless something real crazy happened, but to think that he may put his team in a potentially worse spot with potential coaching candidates out there just seems like a terrible idea.

so i agree, he might be waiting for someone who is in the playoffs currently. I know all the media is pointing at Pederson, but i would like to see McDermott get an interview or something.

Something crazy happened. I get more and more convinced of it everyday Chip doesn't get an interview.

McDermott seems to just be out. Either he wants to much control or there's something they didn't like from when he was here.

 
Is there any chance that the Eagles could be floating rumors for candidates that other teams like, that they might not want to?

To try to get less competition for someone that they might want.

I heard it discussed in the radio that McDermott had some really strong parting words that Lurie hasn't forgiven. Don't know if it's true but....

I don't see any other teams rushing out to interview him either though..

Pretty sure after all this it'll be Billy Davis as HC, and we will all lose our ####.

I guess we'll find out soon. Schefter:

Eagles now have turned their attention to former Giants HC Tom Coughlin, per sources. Yet, there are issues for two sides to work through.

 
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Eagles have focused their "attention squarely" on ex-Giants coach Tom Coughlin.
Ben McAdoo was thought to be Philly's top candidate, but the former coordinator was promoted to head coach in New York. Now the Eagles are focused on his former boss. Schefter reports "the two sides have intensified conversations" since McAdoo went off the market, suggesting a deal could come in the next couple days. Chiefs OC Doug Pederson is also believed to be a favorite, but Philadelphia might not want to wait for the Chiefs' playoff run to end. Coughlin reportedly believes he has 2-3 years left in him and is interested in winning right away.

So since McAdoo was the frontrunner the day before the Giants hired him, expect the Niners to hire Coughlin in the next day or so.

 
One thing I heard this morning about Coughlin that I kind of agree with is he would be really motivated for an older guy. He gets pushed out of NY after winning 2 super bowls. He was left with a crap defense and a terrible oline this year and the GM kept his job. Revenge is a pretty good motivator for an older coach. Look at Arians.

He's just the kind of salty old ##### to stick it to his former team LOL

 
I hope Couglin could bring in a Cordinator that could be groomed to take over for him. I'd be ok with the hire if it would work out that way.

 
A little strange as they just broke that we were meeting with him again today for a 2nd interview or to negotiate a deal. Maybe news of the Thurs meeting broke but it was really just Coughlin coming to tell us he was out. Should be a blessing here.

I wish NE and KC could both lose so we could interview both OC's Sunday morning.

 
In other news, 49ers are expected to pick either Chip or Shanny as next head coach within 24 hours. Either one of them would be fairly shocking. It's gotta be Chip at this point? If Chip loses out to Shanny then he for sure isn't getting a HC job.
