A few things to note here on this.
1) It's been reported that the front office is scrambling after Lurie fired Pederson. They had no real plans to change coaches so now they are in catch up mode and basically throwing out requests for interviews like a kid throws spaghetti on the wall hoping one sticks. It's been haphazard.
2) One beat guy says the defensive guys they want to talk to are likely not to get the job as Lurie is enamored with offense (his last three hires have all been considered offensive minded guys). However, they could be looking at potential DCs as we have found out that the Lurie and Roseman seem to have a Jerry Jones like fetish to hire some assistants for the HC.
3) The Eagles are notorious for making claims on guys that play for teams on their immediate schedule. It would not be surprising at all for them to want to talk to Moore and hope a side benefit would be to glean some info from him.
Good points.
I gotta say. The eagles current situation has to make them a less attractive destination than some of the other openings as well.
their roster is old. Their cap situation is horrible. And they have a QB controversy on their hands.
If I was a Head coach. I would be much more attracted to the Jags, Jets or Chargers jobs.
I think the only situation worse than theirs is the Texans, as far as teams hiring HC’s
It doesn’t mean somebody passes up a head coach opportunity. But if I am a coach who has multiple offers available to them...... I don’t pick the eagles over the others.
