It figures that the one time when Lurie has the balls to fire the coach there is nothing but terrible candidates available.  The one good candidate out there in Kelly can't make up his mind.  Now the Eagles are left with scraps.  There are some dark days ahead for this franchise...

  So it's hopeless because the one coach you've heard of is staying put?

I know both college and NFL inside and out.  I could name the HC/OC/DC for every team in the league off the top of my head.   I know all the candidates and their credentials.  The names left are not pretty.

oh yes i forgot reid was a really hot candidate when we hired him. i remember people being ticked off when we hired him and look what happened. just cause he has a big name doesnt mean he is going to be great.

[MdkSniper]

Why are these guys bad candidates and what makes you an expert on their potential as NFL head coaches?

You are probably one of those tools who wants Gruden or Cowher.

If the names left arent pretty then you dont know the NFL inside and out. Easy tough guy. Let us bow before your all so mighty football knowledge

tomlin is the same way. mike mccarthy is another. people act like they have to be a hot name to be a good head coach. most of the top coaches werent hot commodities.

[Sack that QB]

We also got a #4 pick in the weakest draft in years.

The Eagles most certainly are headed for dark days. I don't think they will be in the playoffs for at least 3 more years.

some people on here are insane. i'd personally be happy with mccoy or bradley. i'd be a little upset if it came to jay gruden cause i dont think he is all that worthy. nevertheless for all we know brian kelly could be a name that pops up after the ND game tomorrow

They will be if they move that pick for more picks or a extra 1st in 2014..

wouldn't say the weakest draft in years... AT QB? Yes. other positions? not really. plus you cannot say that until down the road. what happens if we do wind up drafting  joeckel and he becomes a pro bowl type player for 10 years

[Sack that QB]

Of course I can say it. That is what fans do. Make predictions. Anyone can make a prediction when the writing is on the wall. I like to make predictions when they have a big risk of being wrong, because I like going out on a limb.

I don't think the Eagles will make the playoffs for another 3 years. Just my own take on the future of the Eagles and how they relate to the NFL.

Are you really going out on a limb saying the Eagles won't make the playoffs in the next 3 years?  Have you seen the personnel on this team?  Do you know that Howie Roseman is going to have final say on every draft in the foreseeable future?  Have you seen the list of left over coaching candidates?  I put the over/under on the next Eagles playoff appearance at the year 2017, which way are you going?

[eagle45]

It sucks to see coaches they interview either sign elsewhere or decide they don't want to leave.  It makes it feel like the FO is being left holding the bag with an empty coaching job.  With that said, we really have no idea who the right guy is and are just falling in loves with names at this point.

Whomever they get, Lurie will say it's the guy they wanted all along.  All that matters is that it's the guy they'll want 5 years from now.

  Haha this is the most ridiculous comment of all time.  IF you knew football the way you think, it would never have been made.  Or maybe you're right and the only 31 people on the planet qualified to be an NFL head coach are already HCs of the other teams in the league and we were left without a chair when the music stopped...  Right, because that's the way it works

[eagle45]

I don't have any more confidence in Lurie and Roseman than the next guy, but keep in mind that Belichick was a pretty disappointing hire at the time with the pats.  An assistant who road along with Parcells, failed in Cleveland, and cost the Pats a first round pick.  Can you imagine if that happened here this year?

one serious candidate turned them down. that is it. we get turned down  few other times then I will begin to worry

[e-a-g-l-e-s eagles!]

well reuben frank still believes the eagles are going to hire a offensive minded coach... i wish lurie was not so short-minded and dead set on hiring a offensive guy. i personally think the eagles could use a defensive coach

i really have to question your football knowledge then if you think the eagles are going to be terrible for the next five years if they don't land the biggest red flag coach on the market in chip kelly. are you forreal? Take a look at our division real close. You think the redskins are forreal? I don't. They gave up their entire future for rgIII who can't stay healthy (as a rookie) and is looking more and more pedestrian as time goes by. Is Dallas on the uprise? They don't look like it to me. While i like dez bryant...witten is aging,ware is aging,romo has shown zero improvement since his first season and they have major personel questions going forward. What exactly are the giants? Yes i know they have two rings but every season under coughlin they hover the thin line of 8-8 and 9-7. Their defense is not what it was and they have done just as bad of a job retooling their secondary as we have. If Foles checks out we will be way ahead of the curve within two seasons.

i think the eagles success all depends on two things. first, fixing this god awful defense. we have been horrific for three years now. same problems basically. corners stink, linebackers cannot get off tackles but good defensive line. defense cannot stop anyone when it matters. second, we need foles to pan out or a qb we draft to pan out. if those two things happen we could be competing for hte division and much much more. however i do think foles can be good but im not as positive on the defense we really need either a great DC or a head that is defensive minded.

i definitely agree there. the defense is currently a train wreck. I just think that predicting that we will miss the playoffs five years in a row is a pretty warped view. Our division is a joke right now. In fact it is worse than when andy took over in 1999. I just think the rebuild can be had within two seasons if foles checks out. Washington is going to suffer for trading all those picks for rgIII. Where are the cowboys really headed? 2014 will be eli's 10th season. Will they extend him for another 5 of look in a new direction? There is a ton of uncertainty in the nfc east right now. We could just as easily be back on top in two years as we are bad for the next 5.
