Well find out after the deadline to trade Wentz in the beginning of the new league year. We have less than a week to move him to avoid I believe that last 4 years of guarantees. Something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you're looking for a fresh start and a new vision for the franchise sometimes you have to be bold. Who is going to come here, knowing Howie has as much control as he does, and seeing Howies record on personnel in the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug lost the power struggle when he sat down with Lurie and rolled out his plan like it was drawn in crayola crayons on a piece of yellow lined paper and he colored all of the people yellow...

But I think it was mostly Doug’s ineptitude and growing ego that got him ultimately canned. Once he got the hang of being a HC, he turned away from the openness that got him hired and helped us get a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Doug wanted out. His coaching recommendations were terrible and he knew it. If there was a power struggle, no one won it... Doug gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles23 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Bring in a coach to fix Wentz, find a real #1 receiver, draft a linebacker, any linebacker. ChampionChip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalamania Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Now that I have had time to think about it I think we're going to strike out on the top candidates (Daboll, Smith, Brady, Bieniamy) - I think we'll end up with someone like Jim Caldwell.

Could see it, or Lurie trying to lure a coach that is in broadcasting. Is something I could see too. His MO would be Brady or one of the Niners assistants people liked so much last year.

Howie not sure why everyone continues to think this is about Wentz? Howie wanted Hurts, Howie wanted Reagor despite the scouts and coaches supposedly wanting Jefferson/Chin with their first two picks. Doug held off on playing Hurts as long as possible. FO made that decision for him IMO. Wentz will be traded if Howiebites the bullet and realizes, he's got very little value now. Especially when they know you want him out. GL.

Maybe they BOTH wanted Hurts, but you could tell that Doug wasn't in tune with Carson from the get go. Additionally Howie and Doug both seemed elated when they made the Hurts pick.

nlesthought Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 ESPN matchmaker says both defensive coaches are better grades Saleh B- Eberflus B- Everyone else is Cs and Ds Roman being the highest offensive coach C+ I think the rankings make a good case No offensive coach is going to turn this unit around year 1, what's the easiest road to success. Solid run game + Defense until the QB situation is resolved. That formula fits with both Carson and Hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in for weighing all the options: -Swap Wentz plus extras for Watson -Draft a QB with the 6th pick after trading Carson/Hurts -Bring in a coach guru and hope the stubborn SOB returns to pre-injury 2017 -Roll the dice on Hurts trade Carson for pieces and play good defense with a run game -Bring in a vet and roll with Carson/vet to ride out his contract until its financially feasible to detach. If I'm an offensive coach (which I believe I am), I don't know if I take a job where responsibility number 1 is to fix a QB who doesn't see he's broken or uncoachable.

I honestly cannot see the Texans coming in and making any trade involving Wentz for Watson. Pretty sure you are going to really need to sweep them off their feet to get Watson and in turn give them Carson's contract. That's gonna be alot. Frankly you guys' have zero leverage as it pertains to Carson Wentz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
