What might a Kellen Moore-led staff look like?

I'd thought that, too, but recently have been reading that arguably the main benefit PHI has seen from hiring KM is his run game concepts.

Sure, and he also expanded his knowledge of the passing game. That still leaves him more in need of a guy that can manage the trenches.

Boring and unimaginative. Probably wearing pocket protectors.

wonder if colombo comes back to coach o-line.

kitna or nuss as qb coach i could see.

obvious witt as te coach.

i'd love saleh as def.coord...but if he doesn't get a hc gig,i think he goes back to san fran.

Matt Eberflus left on bad terms. He couldn't wait to leave once he was blocked by the Jones family.

time...and being unemployed...heals those wounds.
at least from his perspective.

I will not be happy with a Moore hire which means he’s our guy. Aside of his offense which is stale and only beats inferior competition. I’m more concerned about him being a leader. He seems like a nice guy which isn’t enough. Sign me up right now for Deion or Aaron Glenn or Coen. Unfortunately Ben Johnson would never happen.

I'm not especially convinced that any one of us, me included, are head coaching savants... so I don't get too high nor too low these days, having learned that lesson, about who gets hired anytime one of my teams is getting someone new. I've been not happy too many times when outcomes eventually exceeded expectations... probably with Jimmy Johnson heading that list, because I had no confidence whatsoever that a college coach could make that leap. And for awhile there, of course, that lack of confidence was completely justified. Chuck Fairbanks' failure to make any difference in Boston had seemed compelling. Then, John McKay's teams in expansion Tampa affirmed the suspicion that the NFL was too big for even top NCAA coaches. And Buddy Ryan's open taunts for Jimmy had me at a point of embarrassment, truly, with how inept our head coach seemed to be.

My stoicism is somewhat because I also don't think a head coach can ever be so great at that job that he can succeed without having exceptional talent in the first place. First you have to have the talent inventory, then who is head coach is only slightly more important than if Lady Luck happens to grant you some timely breaks in some important games. Just give me someone I believe to be competent at some good-to-very-good level, and I'm fine.

I see no incredibly obvious best options out there. I refuse to get too upset unless they pull a Chan Gailey... ie, someone very few if anyone had been touting previously as a legit option. And i think Jerry's age automatically eliminates any hire that would try to prove he's smarter than everyone else like the Gailey hire seemed to be about.
