I think they go into something like this with eyes wide open. They know there is a price to pay but if it works, it's a small price.
I don't think Lurie would change anything, because that ring's the thing.
By that thinking Jerry Jones is the greatest owner in professional sports because he brought 3 rings in short order.
We just have to ignore the last 25 years to buy that.
Philly is in a bad way and really had no reason to be.
They robbed Wentz of any shot because they added high paid/older/often injury prone vets and traded off draft picks around him.
Now be it Wentz or Hurts they are in a bad, bad way and it is of their own doing.
There's no way of knowing but they likely could have won a title over the pat 3 years anyway; without the crazy bad the second you complete them moves.
Philly had a soft division, good coaching, good players.
They've turned over the coaching staff, aged/priced out of a lot of the players and have a GM that has no idea how to build via the draft.
The Eagles job was one of the least appealing on the market.
Rings do not keep you warm at night beyond that 12 months you get to be champ.
After that you are a has been which beats being a never was but not by all that much.
No one else would hire Howie Roseman but that coach? He'll have a job within 12 months for sure.
