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

[Jtown]

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.

Or Rex Ryan after doing something no one in jets history has ever accomplished and is responsible for half the franchise's afc championship game apperances.

So many teets to suckle on this Walrus

 

[JojoTheWhale]

lions, jets, jags are all IMO worse.

You have an org that gave zero power to a coach that won a Super Bowl in a potential lame duck GM situation with a cap apocalypse and a fundamentally broken QB. Why would anyone want that job?

 

[FLYguy3911]

They made him tank and then trotted him out to take all of the heat. Trash can organization.

Lol.

 

[achdumeingute]

winning a super bowl should get you some carte blanche

Frank Reich got a job in Indy...

 

[Amorgus]

Another corpse to be put in Dead Doug Storage. Marrone's not even cold yet.

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.

Maybe so, but look at Miami - AFAIK they have a lot of young pieces in place which are already overachieving. They wouldn't necessarily be crippled by the loss of draft capital that most other teams would be, if Tua goes the other way to lessen the amount of that capital they would have to surrender. I don't know.

I'm always skeptical of these things, simply because I can't imagine being so angry that I do something dumb like this.

But then I think back to my $40,000 hand from punching a wall and remember that people do dumb things when they're angry.

Wat.

Lol.

kafka has already been getting some buzz.

Reich sure coached a hell of a game Saturday

Are we just looking for Andy Reid's yes men?

The Lions job comes with zero pressure and zero expectations, though, so you'd be able to work pretty unencumbered, I would think.

playing for the long con. Next year will be a dumpster fire.

eye roll

Hey, you hate Howie, right? There's no one better to handle a cockroach than Kafka.

if nobody cared, patricia would still be there.

Wat.

Its a bit of a long story, but about 10 years ago, someone at work accidentally ran my foot over with an electric pallet jack when they were dicking around. Instead of punch him and losing my job, I punched the trailer that I was standing next to, shattering three of the 5 fingers on my right hand. It cost about 40K to repair it, as insurance wouldnt cover it due to it being "self inflicted".

 

[Striiker]

*vomits*

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

LOLLLLL.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So was he fired or did he quit?

 

[sa cyred]

Joe Brady?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Long Live Doug.

Holy shit.

Yes

Sure, but you know what I mean - the all-around tumult there would be far less deafening than in pretty much any other market.

shrug, everyone should be on the table. People said the same stuff about Doug. And for the record, if anyone escaped the axe, I wanted it to be Doug for one more year at least. I don't think he was the "complete" problem.

But promoting the QB Factory Plant manager to OC was a good idea how?
