Conn Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 In other news, the Eagles Pederson said in a press conference that his OC and WR coach were being retained and then the owner fired them later the same day because they hadn't yet met and discussed it...so not only was there an embarrassing miscommunication but it also highlighted that the owner is making unilateral decisions about his Superbowl winning HC's assistants... Our recent moves and organizational realignment are looking better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to look if there’s anything now. Yep. Pederson put out a statement later trying to fix it, but Eagles fans seem pretty convinced he was just in the dark about what Laurie was going to do, and it seems obvious that is true. Of course they are convincing themselves that he had to do it for the good of the team. Some of their local media also observed that it was just a weird press conference compared to how Pederson usually is. So who knows what's up.

Lurie isn’t an idiot, so I find this even more intriguing than usual. I always thought Pederson got way too much credit for that stacked roster he won a Super Bowl with... but that’s how it usually goes with coaches. Too much praise or too much criticism for what they can do. Maybe his head got too big and Lurie is trying to put him in his place? I don’t know. Either way, that isn’t a good look. Can’t play games like that within the building. And you’d think that at this point Doug would have total control over the coaching staff. Pretty nuts. Another thing I found fascinating was how little say Doug has had over his assistant coaches from the onset. I didn’t know he had no say in the Schwartz hire. It’s actually what I had wished happened when Jay was originally hired. Inexperienced offensive guy? Do everything you can to pair him with a stud defensive coordinator (we all know what we did instead). But you got to let him build his staff on his side of the ball, at least. Once he grows into his role, you back off more and give him control over the entire coaching staff. But if this article is true, doesn’t seem like they did that with Pederson at any point. Interesting. Development of coaches, even head coaches, within organizations is so under appreciated and misunderstood, it’s sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The Eagles situation is right out of the Dan 1999 playbook. Love it! Let them suffer for once. So do we know if Pederson is alone in wanting KOC and Lurie will sit back and watch KOC do his thing with Doug or will Lurie now become hands on and size up KOC himself as well?

skinzplay Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Funny stuff with the planted O'Connell rumors for the Philly OC search. Get it out there, people will retweet it, then it becomes part of someone's article. Then another so-called journalists simply repeats it. Ah, funny. Anyway, so let me get this straight -- O'Connell didn't want to stay on in Washington (per his mesmerized sports radio/pseudo-journalist followers) because he wouldn't have any say in the offensive staff, but he's willing to go to Philly, where the staff is fully in place, except for WR coach? Alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Coach Vieselmeyer teaching high school kids the zone blitz.) One thing I like about this guy is that after he was fired from Oakland along with DelRio he tried to get a job in the NFL but failed to find a good fit. He could have given up then and there and gone on to pursue his life’s work but he took a position coaching at an obscure undermanned high school instead. Certainly not a resume building decision. He had to know this was likely career suicide and The end of his NFL ambitions but he did it anyway. There’s only one motivation that would explain why a man would do such a thing: PURE LOVE OF THE GAME. I’m rooting for coach V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Kelly Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The fact Koc is going to Rams would suggest he wasn’t holding out for McDaniels. He will have less control of Rams offence than at skins so it def seems like RR wanted Turner all along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for KOC. He served us well during his time here but I think sometimes circumstance demands change and change can be a good thing for all concerned parties. We shall see.

This is a weird move for Kevin. McVay is known as the genius play caller so O'Connell going to the Rams probably won't help his star rise. OTOH, he's officially got an OC gig so that's cool.

As unsuccessful as Jay Gruden was as a head coach he will leave behind him a pretty good legacy. Mind you at least one of those was a Shanny hire not a Gruden one, but still.
