Eagles, Chip Kelly Face Two Defining Decisions
Two of the first big decisions Chip Kelly must make as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles will define his first three to four seasons in the NFL.
Eagles Coach Chip Kelly Will Change Oregon Offense in NFL
Don’t expect new Eagles head coach Chip Kelly to run the exact same offense he used at Oregon in the NFL, or rule out Nick Foles as his quarterback.
Report: Chip Kelly Named Eagles Head Coach
UPDATE (12:33 p.m.): Eagles have issued a statement. Chip Kelly, known for possessing strong leadership and one of the most innovative minds in football today, will be the new head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles – the 21st head coach in the franchise’s history. Rest can be read here. UPDATE (12:31 p.m.): Eagles make it official. [...]
Is Jaguars Job That Much Worse Than Eagles For Gus Bradley? A Comparative Analysis
Is the Eagles head coaching gig that much better than the one in Jacksonville? With Gus Bradley en route to interview with the Jaguars — a job many fear he may take — let’s analyze the merits of each job, based on the same factors Bradley will. Roster Ratings from ESPN Scouts Inc. Obviously a [...]
Seahawks GM: We Are Open To Trading Matt Flynn, Who Would Make Sense For Gus Bradley, Eagles
It’s been said that Nick Foles might’ve been a deterrent for top head coaching hires. Maybe not if you’re Gus Bradley, and have the ins to swing a trade for Matt Flynn. (Again, assuming he didn’t get hand-delivered to Jeffrey Lurie’s house for kicks.) Flynn, 27, remember, was tabbed as the next Matt Schaub, backup-to-Broadway [...]
Brian Kelly Decides To Stay At Notre Dame, Which Wasn’t As Bad For Eagles As Statement They Issued
Some took the news yesterday that Brian Kelly would be staying in South Bend as conclusive evidence that the Eagles head coaching position is unattractive. That, of course, is ridiculous, if for no other reason than that many of the parties coming to said conclusion were also the ones insisting Kelly was playing them all [...]
Report: Gus Bradley To Interview With Eagles On Saturday In Atlanta Before Seahawks Playoff Game
Disappointing news, really, only because of the hope that the Eagles had interviewed him in secret but didn’t announce it, beating the Chargers to the punch. Still, Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman will meet with Bradley in Atlanta on Saturday before the Seahawks face the Falcons (-3) on Sunday. What’s interesting — and under-discussed — [...]
Meet Monte Kiffin, 73, Who’s About To Make Nnamdi Asomughas Of Two Top Corners On Cowboys
Meet Monte Kiffin, 73, who multiple sources have reported has been hired as defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. Could be the best news for the Eagles — and Eagle fans — this week. Remember: Since 2008, nobody’s had more sacks than DeMarcus Ware, a lifer as a 3-4 outside linebacker who’ll now be asked to [...]
So Far, So Good: Eagles Head Coaching Search NFL’s Second-Most Expansive To Date
Two ways to read that: One, they’re being open-minded about it. Two, they’re not sure what they want. Neither is bad — not necessarily. The latter, of course, would be concerning if the team’s second-in-the-NFL 10-candidate search was full of Mike Nolans and Keith Armstrongs. But it hasn’t been. It seems as if they’ve identified a few [...]
Even If Brian Kelly Uses Interview With Eagles To Get Raise From Notre Dame, Birds Aren’t Losers
Maybe Brian Kelly did interview with the Eagles last night to leverage a raise and contract extension from Notre Dame. Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated tweeted last night that’s what a Notre Dame source told him. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk noted that, literally, minutes after the interview, FOX’s Jay Glazer, ESPN’s Adam Schefter [...]
