OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Playoffs - Eagles Will Select Sixth Overall In Draft

[Jtown]

Yep. Not a surprise.

winning a super bowl should get you some carte blanche

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yep. Not a surprise.

Yep, #TeamDoug.

When he was hired we said that he was going to be our Jason Garrett and that's exactly what he was.

@Hollywood Couturier I've been thinking about it. The only job you can debate might be worse is Houston if Watson is traded. Everything else is clearly better and it very well might be the worst overall.

Houston trading Watson is going to be a debacle for everyone involved. Houston won't be carried by Watson anymore, and whoever trades for him is going to be gaining a massive cap hit while giving away a lot of picks and assets that create cap flexibility. It would be a ton to give up to either have a year one shot at winning, or waiting several years to recover and try again with the hope Watson ages like Wilson.

Not when you have your boy Howie Roseman who thinks he's " #1 Football Guy."

 

[BigToe]

Yep. Not a surprise.

 

[achdumeingute]

because of f***ing injuries. Not because of coaching.

it's FAR more than injuries.

Shit defense, players are turds here/show something somewhere else/ draft picks are unmitigated failures.

He's not the ONLY one that needs to be fired.

 

[orangey]

What a joke if Howie isn't out too.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I wonder if Doug will go to Indy in a smaller role and lay low for a few years.

 

[Jtown]

Chip is the hero we deserved. He put that little weasel where he belonged. Sadly he went for the arm and not the neck.

you mean the guy recognized by the players as the man who built a championship team.

That's when you tender your resignation if you accept the job and he's somehow traded after.

who is better than howie?

 

[achdumeingute]

I think it means you are keeping Carson going forward. Reading between the lines Howie and Carson's camp banded together to slander Doug to protect themselves.

The Philadelphia Rats.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yes, I agree. Chip did build that championship team. Thank you.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Yep. Not a surprise.

Respect

 

[GKJ]

Nobody should be telling the head coach what to do.

He's not the ONLY one that needs to be fired.

The list of injuries we have had over a 4 year period is unfathomable. NO team could've accomplished what Pederson did in that time.

The comp I've seen that closest mirrors this is Chizik getting canned at Auburn 2 years after the title, but that's also a situation where another Cam Newton wasn't walking through the door. It does feel pretty unprecedented.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Who was the first to report the news?

 

[Jtown]

Yes, I agree. Chip did build that championship team. Thank you.

THat is right i forgot how Kelce gave an all time speech about Chip

lions, jets, jags are all IMO worse.

eye roll

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Yep. Not a surprise.

Good for him.

Usually a SB winning coach gets free run of the building for a while, but I think Lurie was still scarred from the Chip Kelly experience and didn't let it happen.

HOWEVER...that isn't Doug's problem. I'm glad he told them to screw off and go elsewhere.

It's best for everyone.
