Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Vegas, Baby! (2023 Regular Season)

[Flybynite]

I remember they said this about the Flyers job.

Panthers job is awesome.

Matt Rhule got around $40m to 'go away'
Frank Reich got around $40m to 'go away'

Sounds like a nice gig

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I see the fanbase has gone off the deep end again today. It's ok to be happy about their record and think they're good while also realizing it's been a bit lucky to only lose one of these games. Sheesh.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Schefter saying Brian Johnson is one of the hottest candidates (along with Ben Johnson, obviously) for HC jobs.

This list almost killed me, Cap.

I guess Bob is on the gummies.

I mean f*** it, the Panthers are bad as it is, might as well kill one team while helping the other. Maybe the Eagles could give Duce Staley a call and (finally) bring him in to run the offense

Let's just trade.

Panthers get: Brian Johnson, HC
Eagles get: Frank Reich, OC

Omg please

I haven't even started yet: you need to bring back Dallas Goddert for the 9ers game. Even he re-aggravates his injury and is out for a couple of more games. It is THAT important a game. And given the way the two teams are playing currently you have to favor SF.

We're a better team...with Goddert in the line-up. Bring him back for this game, I don't care what the doctors say.

Saban?

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Saban?

It has the feel of, "Just seeing if you're paying attention," for folks of reason. It doesn't strike me as Griffin's intent, though.

 

[SnS]

This list almost killed me, Cap.

Hopefully, no.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[ponder719]

They want nothing to do with the Eagles, which I can only assume means they think all Philly sports teams are the Flyers.

 

[SnS]

Staley let go from his coaching position for Carolina too. What a joke.

 

[DancingPanther]

The Duce is luce

 

[GKJ]

Duce left the Eagles and Lions feeling there was no path forward. The Eagles for years didn’t want him to leave. Now he’s without a path.

 

[TB87]

The Duce is luce

Speaking of Duce: I went to Eagles training camp in Summer 2002 and Duce had the biggest thighs I’ve ever seen. They were so massive & muscular that it blew my tiny little brain. Runyan & Tra Thomas were mammoth beasts too. You can’t always tell how huge these guys are on TV. But in person, they’re basically Space Jam’s Monstars.

 

[Svechhammer]

Imagine if this ends up with Johnson getting the Panthers job and Siriani then bringing Reich back as OC and Duce as RB coach.

Oh that would be something, huh

 

[dragonoffrost]

So the Kitties dropped a Duce....

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

It is written.

Slight hitch in our giddy-up here: Reich doesn't sound like he's intending to coach again, at least not for the immediate future.

Reich, who turns 62 next week, wasn’t ready to definitely say that he was finished with coaching. But he did say: “This is probably the final chapter of my NFL journey.”

The guy has spent the last two decades nomading his way around the NFL. I can see why he might want to call it quits.

Also, he probably has to forfeit some portion of that $40M if he takes another job. Why not take a few years to do literally anything else on David Tepper's dime?

That said, if the Panthers want Johnson, I'd be happy to give Duce a shot as OC.

 

[Svechhammer]

He also just got cut a $40m check, so its not like there's a big financial need for him to get back into coaching right away.
