Has exposed how overreactive, impatient and irrational TATErs really are. I thought we were more intelligent than this but some of the stuff I have seen oversimplifies why certain things have not happened to this point. And it's not just TATErs it's the journalists/sports writers and talk show hosts. Especially, those idiots that follow Cataldi in the morning. Don't they know that he acts like a moron to draw interest? Anyway I am more disappointed with those who think of Lurie as a bad owner when he is clearly the best owner this franchise has had. Remember, no spend Braman? Remember, I am going to gamble away this franchise, Tose?

Let's all get a grip and wait and see what they do. Lurie is doing exactly what he said he was going to do and so far it has played out that way. Can't blame him for trying to get 3 of the best college coaches in the game. What's wrong with that? You lay down the loot and let the guy decide. They all decided to stay. And now it looks like the favorite (Gus) of the fans may actually be materialzing. Let's grow up people.

Sometimes the right guy is the 10th guy you interview.  I have no problems with what the eagles are doing.  It's a crapshoot anyway.  How many very good
coordinators or assistants got a head coaching job only to flounder?  

Trying to find a guy who is organized, thorough, disciplined, that has a vision for all 3 phases of the game, reputation to build a coaching staff, with a
good resume, not to mention, the ability to work with a GM and the owner must be very difficult to find. And I'm sure some teams don't go into as much
depth as other teams.

Couldn't agree more.





Except for that bolded part.

THANK YOU.

People need to relax. Only three teams have hired a coach so far... KC took the guy we canned and Cleveland took a guy who wasn't even on anybody's radar. Buffalo got Marrone, who I actually was pretty high on, but seemed like maybe he just wanted to stay in the upstate NY area. He jumped on that Buffalo job awful quick which is just a short drive away from Syracuse.

Arizona, Chicago, San Diego, Jacksonville  are all still without a coach.

This is where you went wrong.

Anyway I'm a fan of the search. Interviewing as many people as possible. I don't care what the media says; no one is talking about the Cards, Bears, or Chargers taking so long with their search. I guess their GMs aren't liked by anyone in the league.

[WillyDevereaux]

How do we know that the college coaches were the ones doing the rejecting?  It seems to me that if I'm considering interviewing with the Eagles for the HC job, but they're willing to tell the media whenever they reject someone, I'm thinking twice about interviewing at all.  Why risk looking unqualified?

I still trust the Eagles to pick the right guy, but the longer I wait, the more nervous I get.  I won't fall off the wagon until Gus Bradley is no longer a possibility.

I remember those owners only too well. Going by the ages of many on the "birthday today" list, many of  todays fans were either non existent,  or too young to even understand what they did or didn't represent.  But those of us who sat through those owners and those horrific seasons do know that Lurie doesn't come close to being what they were....and it sure as hell wasn't winners.

Only 3 teams so far have replaced their HC's.  KC, Cleveland and Bears. So guess those other owners and GM's don't know what they are doing either. Or guess no one wants to go there .

I think Mr Lurie knows what kind of man fits his requirements. We can want this guy, or that guy all we want. But none of us has the future of this franchise at stake like he does.  So it is imparitive that he does a thorough search to make sure he selects the right guy. And not care who outsiders think he should hire. It's his team not theirs.

Whomever it turns out to be, I intend to support him and the cast of assistents he brings with him. If you are a true Eagle fan, than you'll do the same...if not, than you won't.

[VaBeach_Eagle]

I'm impatient, I want to know who will be hired as soon as possible and I want to get on with the future of the franchise, but I also want the best possible coach to be hired and I don't want to do this again in 4 or 5 years. So if it takes until the Super Bowl, I'll wait.

Really? That was your first mistake

[Pegger]

Here's the way I look at it. Of the 3 people who wanted to be NFL head coaches and had an offer I didn't want any of them. The owner wants to be transparent and show a lot of work is going into this decision, but unfortuately it's only causing the fan base to panic.

Within the next month we'll have our new coach. Whomever that is some of the fans will get to know and like the guy and some will already hate him. It's just the way sports franchises work. We all have opinions and unfortunately we all feel they are valid.

[odin8888]

Ok, so the logic is that we dont go after the coaches we really want at first, we are going to outsmart everybody and do a fake search so we get the best guy on the cheap... more gold standard.... LOL


Then in reality we go after the HOT college coaches with no real idea what they are looking for or any idea what power the eagles are willing to give, go all out, get rejected and look like the dooooshbag with no date at the prom.... LOL


Then interview everybody that ever thought of coaching, old, new, but skip the only one (through spokespersons and co-workers) that outwardly spoke of actually wanting the job... (Jon Gruden)

Just get the right guy and quit looking like schoolkids getting schooled, the negotiations didnt even begin yet... !!!!!!   Your still trying to find that date!!!!

Basically how I feel. I really want resolution, but anyone who looks at this realistically can't expect it to be finished this quick.

I mean guys like Bradley and McCoy really only have the free time for a thorough, in depth interview starting today. People can't have unrealistic expectations.

Yeah, the only coach that has been hired that we'd be pissed about not getting, had we not just fired him, is Andy. If it had been some other team that fired him and his coaching history was exactly what it is and we didn't get him and were still this far into our search, there'd be a lot of really pissed off people around here.

Yeah exactly. I heard no one beat the drum for Chudzinski and at best, I heard mild curiosity about Marrone. Neither hire would have went over well here, so it's a bit of a mystery to me what all the complaining is about.

This is how I would explain TATE:

It is TATE.

[Netherscourge]

If they don't hire a Final 4 assistant or coach once the Conference Championship/Superbowl games are over, then they are simply settling for whoever is left that didn't vomit when they heard Howie Roseman was keeping the Player-Personnel job.
