Kiltman Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 McLane released a deep dive on Howie, his relationships and where things went wrong. Long read but some interesting notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I already made a thread on how much Howie Roseman sucks booty cheeks.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 - More about just how involved Lurie is and how much he relies on Howie to control everything for him. - Chummy relationships with players, a lot of which isn’t reciprocated or believed. - Howie compartmentalizes people and prefer 1on1s so that he can control the narratives and not escalate things. This leads to bad decisions as consensus isn’t always reached. - Carson an Cox both had a lot more sway that’ll what most people knew. - General sense of fear about how you talk about players and who you talk to. Schwartz was one of the few who would occasionally be open about how bad Wentz looked in spring practice (I believe 2019) - A print up of position coaches not with the team was found in the printer which led to more paranoia of being replaced. - They didn’t name the coach, but it seems like maybe Aaron Moorehead talked unfavorably about two rookies in a meeting with Scouts. Howie confronted him about doing that in front of the scouts. - Doug was liked but as aloof as it seemed. His Press Taylor as OC and Matt Burke as DC staff was the biggest reason he was fired as he stuck up for himself for once. - Assistant coaches were leaving or trying to leave, even for lateral positions, even before Doug left to get away from the organization. - If we went off the Scouts we would’ve taken Justin Jefferson and Jeremy Chinn last year....

He deserves the spotlight of two (seemed like an important article I’ll merge the two later on after the fallout from this dies down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurie can’t ignore that stuff. Maybe it’s what he actually wants. I made a post suggesting such. Howie can’t come out of all of this clean unless this is his last hurrah as GM. He’s got to have a homerun offseason or it’s his rear, I’d think. If not, it seems like Luire is tied to Howie even if it means the detriment of the team. Either way, it’s bad business even if he turns it around. If no one wants to play here it’ll eventually poison the whole team and Lurie will face mass pressure to sell the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d be entering unprecedented territory if Howie survived another coaching change. If I was Lurie I’d just put my cards on the table and tell Howie “this is it, you got to be better and make this work” “open checkbook but it’s all on you.” Make it clear that there will be no weaseling out of this if it goes south. And if Jeff wants to be overly involved, call some group meetings and let people talk openly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reagor was the coaches and potentially Carson’s input. Hurts was Lurie and Doug. But yeah passing on the real Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the year ain’t a good look.

Don’t remember what or who I was listening or watching and that person hypothetically pointed out that we easily could have gotten JJ (or Reagor if you needed him that bad), Chinn and still ended up with Hurts. I mean who knows, and still premature, but the yearly screw ups just keep piling up. Literally any RB - Pumphrey, JJAW - Metcalf, JJ - Reagor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
