Easier to fire coaches than a quarterback.

Puppet

 

[CouchCoach]

Uh oh, sounds like shades of Garrett and Linehan.

 

[VanJaylon]

They should have used the excuse that the wide receivers were hurt to keep their job. Or has that excuse been used too much for the eagles already.

 

[Ranching]

Mike Groh would be a good pick up at WR coach.

Kinda like Dallas, in Dallas even a HC is gone.

ingrate

The rumor out of Philly is that Pederson made this pronouncement yesterday about keeping them BEFORE he had his year end meeting with the owner, Lurie.

Lurie, however, wanted Groh and Walch gone. So after their meeting today, Pederson had to announce changes. Lurie seems to have pulled a Jerry Jones here.

I don't know how you can justify firing the WR coach in Philly. Did he somehow coach them into getting hurt and dropping passes?

 

[Reid1boys]

isnt this the team that had 99.9% of the roster injured all season? so it is the coaches fault? ahhhh, but if im the head coach, I can cover my own arse by pointing the fingers at those below me.

My guess is that Lurie just wanted some heads to roll to appease angry fans.

Pederson got neutered

Or nobody knows what is happening inside the team so can only speculate on the reasons why but pass it off as a definitive response.

[_sturt_]

Reminiscent of...


"Yes, I expect Linehan to be back."


"Oh. Wait. We'll be meeting later today about that."


"We appreciate everything Scott Linehan has done for the Dallas Cowboys and wish him well, but we felt we needed to get some new blood in that role."


Wonder if the PHI GM imposed his will as it is widely suspected the DAL GM did back-when.

 

[trickblue]

He should hire Garrett and Marinelli...

 

[nightrain]

That's coming from the GM and shows a lack of communication in the facility.
