Philadelphia Eagles Look to Lovie Smith as Head Coach Search Continues

Wednesday, January 9th, 2013

Lovie Smith, the next head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles?

It’s only been a little over a week since the Philadelphia Eagles parted ways with Andy Reid, but somehow it feels much longer.  Perhaps the fact that Reid was signed, sealed and delivered to Kansas City within the same week he found himself out on the street in Philly provided a somewhat unrealistic measure of comparison.  After all, of seven head coaching vacancies in the NFL, only two have been filled.

 

The Birds’ coaching search took a surprising turn on Tuesday when it was announced that they will interview former Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith on Thursday.

 

Has this been part of the plan overall, or are the Eagles in panic mode?

 

Smith was fired from the Chicago Bears after finishing 10-6 this sesaon and failing to make the playoffs.  Like Reid, Smith is viewed as a good coach in the NFL with a good overall winning percentage (.563), but failed to deliver the ultimate prize to his city after taking them to the Super Bowl.

 

Unlike Reid, Smith is known as a defensive guy.  The Eagles have seen a steady decline in the production of their D since the death of Jim Johnson in 2009.  Though it’s widely speculated that Lurie seeks more of an offensive mind, it’s hard to imagine that a proven defensive mind wouldn’t be of some level of interest to Philadelphia.

 

Another name that has appeared on the Eagles list, Jay Gruden in Cincinnati, doesn’t seem to be a feasible option, as he has reportedly stated that he plans to stay with the Bengals but is interviewing simply so that teams will stop calling him.  Um, eww.

 

If Philadelphia is serious about their interest in people like Atlanta’s Mike Nolan and Seattle’s Gus Bradley, in addition to Denver OC Mike McCoy, they may have to wait a while for their man as these teams progress through the playoffs.  And if their top choice makes it to the Super Bowl, then the Eagles could be head coach-less until February.  An unsettling thought but one that could easily become the team’s reality.

 

Colts coach Bruce Arians is also in the mix, but at 60, his possible tenure with the Birds would be limited, which doesn’t seem to appeal to the Eagles.

 

So again we sit and we wait.  Will other top prospects for Philadelphia be snapped up by other teams or decide to stay put where they are?  Probably.  As reminded by CSNPhilly’s Reuben Frank on Sports Rise, Andy Reid was the Eagles’ fifth choice when they last embarked on a head coaching search.

 

So there’s always that.

Chip Kelly to Stay at Oregon: Who’s the Next Target for the Philadelphia Eagles?

Monday, January 7th, 2013

by Brandyn Campbell

 

 

 

 

It was an eventful weekend in the NFL’s coaching carousel that ultimately left the Philadelphia Eagles exactly where they started – still in need of a head coach.

On Friday, Oregon head coach Chip Kelly was said to be close to a deal with the Cleveland Browns, but everything changed when he met with the Eagles brain trust for a lengthy nine-hour meeting on Saturday.

(Image via SportsGrid.com)

Was Jeffrey Lurie about to steal the #1 choice of his once close friend and former business partner Joe Banner and the Browns?  It seemed like it could happen.  But Kelly never hid his lack of enthusiasm for joining the NFL, and ultimately the trio of Lurie, Howie Roseman and Don Smolenski knew that any decision would have to  outweigh Kelly’s love of coaching at Oregon.

For the second year in a row, that did not happen.  On Sunday, Kelly decided that he would stay in the college ranks.

So what now?  The Birds were all-in on Kelly.  Who do they turn to now?

The Eagles had requested an interview with Syracuse coach Doug Marrone, but that won’t be happening as he was signed on to coach the Buffalo Bills.

After the lengthy meeting with Kelly on Saturday, the Birds held a three-hour interview with Mike McCoy, the Broncos’ offensive coordinator on Sunday.  Philadelphia will also speak with Bruce Arians, offensive coordinator of the Colts as well as Gus Bradley, the Seahawks defensive coordinator this week.  The Eagles have also requested permission to speak with Jay Gruden, the offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals.

While rumors about interest in Kelly by the Eagles swirled for months preceding Andy Reid’s firing, I was surprised that the team truly had so much interest in a candidate with  no experience in the NFL.  Mike McCoy and his demonstrated ability to effectively adjust his offense to the abilities (or lack thereof) of a given quarterback would be quite an asset to a team like the Eagles with more questions than answers surrounding the QB position.  Will he now move to the top of Philadelphia’s list?

As we move into the second week of the search process, one thing is for sure – there is never a dull moment.

Former Philadelphia Eagle Jeremiah Trotter on Andy Reid: ‘He Got Out-Coached in a lot of Big Games’

Monday, January 7th, 2013

by Brandyn Campbell

Andy Reid is beloved by his players, but that doesn’t mean some of them didn’t observe some of the coach’s shortcomings.  On 97.5 The Fanatic on Thursday, former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter didn’t hold back on his opinions on Reid.

“If it came down to both teams were even, talent-wise, I think the opponent’s team would win if it came down to coaching.

Andy Reid got out-coached in a lot of games, man, a lot of big games.  Time outs, running the football, you know.”

Yes, we know all too well.

Trot indicated that fans weren’t the only ones who got heartburn from Reid’s play-calling – it affected the team’s defense as well.

“As a defense, we understood we passed the ball too much.  You know, there’s times we’re sitting over there like, ‘Man, listen.  Just get us a couple of first downs so we can get a break.’  And I’m sure it frustrated Jim Johnson also.”

Trotter’s comments make you wonder how many others who played under Reid – past and present – feel the same way.

Lest you think that Trotter was simply out to trash the former Eagles head coach, he revealed later in the segment that that was not the case.  When asked how he would rate Reid overall, Trotter was more than fair.

“On a scale of one to 10, 10 being great, I give [Reid] a seven and a half or eight as a coach.”

As a point of comparison, Trotter said that Bill Belichick is the only coach presently in the NFL to whom he would give a perfect 10.

How would you rate Reid’s tenure in Philadelphia?

Philadelphia Eagles: Who Will Replace Andy Reid?

Monday, December 31st, 2012

by Brandyn Campbell

 

 

 

 

Who will replace “Big Red”?

With Andy Reid out as Philadelphia Eagles head coach, the major question facing the franchise now is who will replace him.  The speculation has swirled for months, as Reid’s fate was sealed further by each successive loss.  Here’s a look at some of the possibilities.

Chip Kelly

The name that has been tossed around most in relation to the Eagles head coaching gig is University of Oregon head coach Chip Kelly.  His innovation and reputation as an offensive mastermind certainly has to peak the interest of the Birds — and many other teams.  However, he is untested in the NFL.  Philadelphia has worked hard to establish itself as an elite franchise in the NFL and taking the plunge with someone with no league experience following Reid’s success is quite a gamble.  Add to that a desire for control that team owner Jeffrey Lurie will likely not surrender.  According to SI’s Don Banks,

“League sources say Kelly is looking for near complete control when it comes to personnel decision-making power, and that doesn’t appear to be available in the Eagles’ organization, where general manager Howie Roseman is expected to be in charge of the roster in the post-Reid era.”

Jon Gruden

The ESPN analyst has avoided questions about any interest to return to coaching.  He spent a brief period as an Eagles assistant coach before head coaching stints with the Raiders and the Tampa Bay Bucs, where he led the team to a Super Bowl victory.  Someone who has reached the promised land and gotten a ring previously has to intrigue the Birds, even though no head coach has been able to win a SB with two different teams.

Mike McCoy

Currently the offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos, McCoy will garner a lot of interest this offseason.  He has shown great versatility as coordinator, adapting wildly different systems in successive seasons to accommodate Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow and now Peyton Manning.  Yes, having essentially another coach in Manning doesn’t hurt, but neither do Denver’s 11 straight wins.  What’s one of the biggest complaints of Eagles fans about Andy Reid over the years?  His stubbornness and a seeming inability — or unwillingness — to adapt to the realities of his players and what was happening on the field.  With an uncertain quarterback situation facing Philadelphia and a coach who has proven an ability to adjust to multiple ability levels, McCoy has got to be of major interest to the Eagles.

Bruce Arians

Arians took over as Colts head coach while Chuck Pagano underwent treatment for leukemia and lead the team to a 10-2 record.  He spent five years as offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers and, bonus, Arians has roots in Philly — he was Temple’s head coach for five years in the 80’s.  Certainly an intriguing possibility.

Jay Gruden

Jon’s younger brother, this Gruden has served as OC for the Cincinnati Bengals for the past two years.  What may work against him is the lack of notable credentials on his resume.  Prior to Cinci, Gruden was head coach and GM for the UFL’s Florida Tuskers and prior to that served as HC of the Orlando Predators.  Will he prove to be too much of an unproven commodity for the Eagles?

Bill O’Brien

The current Penn State head football coach took on the position in the midst of a nightmare and came out as Big Ten Coach of the Year.  His NFL chops include four seasons with the Patriots, in roles ranging from wide receiver to quarterbacks coach and then offensive coordinator.  Any team owner has to admire the Patriots organization and O’Brien’s experience and ability to successfully lead PSU under the most difficult of circumstances has got to intrigue the Eagles.  However, O’Brien reportedly has a hefty buyout that may limit his interest in leaving the team after only one year.

It’s Official: Andy Reid’s Tenure as Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach is Done

Monday, December 31st, 2012

by Brandyn Campbell

 

 

 

 

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Monday morning what we already knew – Andy Reid is no longer head coach of the team.

In a statement, team owner Jeffrey Lurie said,

“Andy Reid won the most games of any head coach in Eagles history and he is someone I respect greatly and will remain friends with for many years to come,” said Lurie.  “But, it is time for the Eagles to move in a new direction.  Coach Reid leaves us with a winning tradition that we can build upon.  And we are very excited about the future.”

Lurie added,

“The search for the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles will begin immediately.”

The Eagles will hold a press conference at 1 pm today.

Philadelphia Eagles: This is it for Andy Reid and Mike Vick

Sunday, December 30th, 2012

by Brandyn Campbell

 

 

 

 

Will today be Andy’s swan song?

This is it.  The final game of the 2012 season for the Philadelphia Eagles will unfold this afternoon at the Meadowlands.  Sitting at 4-11, there are no playoff aspirations for this team.  There are only questions of what’s to come.

What’s in store in the year ahead for Mike Vick, who will today lead the Birds for perhaps the last time.  His tenure with the team was at first electric, then fizzled precipitously over the past two seasons.  It is that electricity that many of us hope to see from Vick today, one last time.  Can he drive the Eagles to victory over the Giants once again and end their playoff hopes for good?

If Vick does put in a strong performance, the question of whether he will see a return to Philadelphia in 2013 will grow even more uncertain.  Recent reports say that Vick is unwilling to renegotiate his existing contract with the Eagles, which would pay him a base salary of $15.5 million next year.  It’s hard to imagine Philadelphia paying that figure for a quarterback with a losing record with the team.  But, of course, that decision and so many others depends on who will be named head coach of the Eagles next year.

With the Andy Reid era almost assuredly coming to a close following this game, the questions about the coaching situation will come in rapid succession.  When will Reid be let go (it’s widely expected to happen before the new year)?  Who will be named to succeed Big Red?

The endless rumors about Oregon head coach Chip Kelly coming to Philadelphia are so plentiful that you have to wonder if it seems packaged a bit too nicely.  After all, when have the Eagles ever done what was predicted, particularly when it comes to personnel?

Today, there is a game to focus on.  Tomorrow, all talk about the Eagles will swirl around the many “what ifs” that surround the team following an abysmal season and a head coach whose record in the last four seasons has been 33-30, interestingly falling short of Rich Kotite‘s mark in his four seasons with the team (36-28).

Can Mike Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles go 2-0 against the Giants this season and end all hope of a return to the playoffs by last year’s Super Bowl champs?  With a little help by New York’s troubled defense it certainly can happen.  It won’t exactly end this long, disappointing season on a high note, but a win against the G-men is always a good thing.  It won’t change Philadelphia’s losing record but the end of what has been the most successful era of Eagles football deserves to end with a “W”.

Mike Vick to Have One Last Stand as a Philadelphia Eagle

Friday, December 28th, 2012

by Brandyn Campbell

 

 

 

 

Andy Reid & Mike Vick

What would the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles season be without yet another twist to end the season?

With Nick Foles sent to injured reserve on Wednesday, Mike Vick will make what is very likely his final appearance in an Eagles uniform on Sunday against the New York Giants.  This after being relegated to the third-string quarterback last week, when he wasn’t even active for the game.

But Vick isn’t hanging on to bitterness.  He’s excited to have the opportunity to play, to get back under center and hopefully to lead them to a win.

“It’s great to know that you’re going to have a chance to go out and play.  The one thing I never do is waver or back down from opportunities to go out there and get on the field regardless of what has transpired throughout the season.  I’m fully confident in myself and the guys around me.  We’ll have to go out there and put it all together for the last game and get a win for Andy.”

Like the head coach who brought him to Philadelphia, though, Vick is trying to avoid thinking about the “what ifs.”  What if this is his last game as an Eagle?  What if this is his final game as an NFL starting quarterback?

“I don’t think about it.  The only thing I think about is going out there and trying to be productive for this football team, enjoy the last game [of the season] with my teammates, and make the most of it.”

Sunday’s game will hold little meaning for the Eagles, with the team long out of the playoffs and nothing truly able to put a positive spin on the horrific season.  But it could prove to provide quite an important opportunity for Vick, who will likely be on the hunt for a new job in 2013.  But like the other “what ifs”, Vick says he’s not entertaining these thoughts either.

“I’m not putting pressure on myself to go out and try to put on a great performance in the sense of an audition.  I think it’s about just going out and playing and doing what you love to do.  [There’s] already enough pressure on you in this league but the thing I’m truly confident about is my ability to play the game of football, what I know, what I’ve learned, the success I’ve had over the past years, and what I can accomplish [in the future].  I think I just have to go out and continue to play my game.  The focus is to try to be the best player I can be year in and year out and being in tip-top shape, and ensure that I’m doing all the right things.”

In his remarks to the media on Wednesday, Vick reflected on his career in Philadelphia.

“My time has been great.  I’ve enjoyed being here, I’ve enjoyed the coaches, [and] I’ve enjoyed the teammates that I’ve had.  Some have come and gone but given the opportunity I was able to go out and be productive in 2010, finished strong in 2011, and this year was just a roller coaster ride.  We had a lot of ups and downs.  We had a lot of guys who got hurt.  We just had to deal with it the way we did and the joy we get, and the fulfillment, of still being able to go out and play the game.”

The roller coaster that has been 2012 will continue into 2013, as the Eagles seek to find a new coach, team and identity.  But it is so fitting that what is likely to be the last game of the Reid-Vick era in Philadelphia football will see the two together in game action one final time.

Philadelphia Eagles Season Sinks Even Further Into Meaninglessness

Monday, December 24th, 2012

by Brandyn Campbell

The ending of Sunday’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins, the final home game of an awful season for the Birds, was a good analogy for the frustration of the entire year.

Nick Foles, trying to orchestrate a game-tying drive, found new tight end Evan Moore near the goal line only for Moore to drop the pass with 11 seconds left in the game.  For what would be the final play, Foles threw an incompletion that was ruled an illegal forward pass, thereby ending the game.

And so it went, with the Redskins winning 27-20 and on the cusp of winning the NFC East.  Which left the Eagles to sink even further into meaninglessness, falling to 4-11.

If the Eagles were trying to put on a good show for Andy Reid’s final home game or attempting to play the spoiler, they failed at both tasks.  But sadly, while we may have hoped for a different outcome, we didn’t really expect it.

There were some high points, certainly.  Foles’ 27-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin in the first quarter was a beauty.  And Dion Lewis notched the second touchdown of his career with a run into the endzone in the fourth.  Brandon Graham was fierce, leading the defense with 6 tackles and showing that his 2012 “I’m not a bust” campaign will be a success.  And Shady contributed his talents to the running and passing game, accruing 77 yards from 9 passes and getting 45 yards on the ground from 13 carries.

One of the highlights from the game only served to point out how bad this team has been this season.  Colt Anderson got an interception, the first time the Eagles have done so since Week 5.  That’s just pathetic.

Not surprisingly, there was a whole lot of bad.  Philadelphia converted on just 5 of 15 3rd downs.  The Redskins’ horrible defense did a number on Foles and the offensive line, sacking Nick five times.  And once again, as was the case when the Eagles and Redskins met up in Week 11, RG3, returning from an injury and visibly limping early in the game, put in another strong performance, going 16/24 for 198 yards for 2 touchdowns and 1 pick.

Foles’ numbers for the day were 32-of-48 for 345 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a lost fumble.  He sustained an injury to his throwing hand but neither he nor Reid pointed to that as the reason the team couldn’t get it done this time – as has been the case so many times this season.

The final test for Philadelphia comes next week when they play the Giants at 1 pm at the Meadowlands.  This painful chapter of Eagles history will soon draw to a close, with a report this morning from ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio on Mike and Mike saying that Reid will be fired on December 31, a day after the team’s final game.

We’ll see.  But it would be fitting to ring in 2013 Reid-free to show that we are truly entering a new era.

The end is almost near.  I can’t remember ever wanting to see the end of the football season come to a conclusion but this season warrants that exception.  And then will be an offseason of a lot of uncertainty and change.  But it’s time.

And, in case you’re wondering, if the draft were held today the Eagles would have the fourth overall pick.

Washington Redskins vs Philadelphia Eagles: Birds relishing the role of spoiler?

Sunday, December 23rd, 2012

by Brandyn Campbell

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lot has changed since the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins first met in Week 11.  That game was Nick Foles’ first career start in the NFL.  Both teams were 3-6.

But that’s where the fortunes of the teams took divergent paths.

Since then, Washington has won 5 games in a row and the Eagles….haven’t.  The Skins have found that they are more blessed at the quarterback position than anyone knew, after Kirk Cousins stood in for RG3 last week and led the team to victory on the road against the Cleveland Browns in Week 15.

This week, Griffin III will be back to face the Eagles at what is very likely Andy Reid’s final game at the Linc.  While the team undoubtedly welcomes his return and leadership, RG3 faces some challenges on his offense, particularly from Washington’s offensive line.  They’ve been hit with a rash of issues, both injuries and suspensions.  Against a Philadelphia d-line that is finally bringing pressure to the quarterback, it could be a rough game for RG3.  But he’s more than adept at finding ways to escape danger and Washington will try to bring rookie gem RB Alfred Morris into the fold as much as possible.

Eagles fans will see the return of LeSean McCoy to the field, his first time in action since that Week 11 meeting with the Redskins when he left late in the game with a concussion.  Will he have a limited role while the Birds try to give Bryce Brown more playing time to work on securing the freaking ball and affording Dion Lewis some opportunities to take the field?  It seems silly to needlessly risk Shady sustaining further injury but we’ll see how it goes.

The Redskins come into this game with everything in the world to play for — if they win this week and next, they will have won the NFC East for the first time since 1999.  The Eagles as spoilers?  Is it really that fun or interesting playing “spoiler” when every team in your division has a chance but you?  I think the motivation for Philadelphia will be more to put in a strong showing for the final home game of their head coach.  But will that be enough to propel them past Washington’s playoff aspirations?

After the mess we saw against the Bengals, I don’t think it will be.

More things to watch:

  • Will special teams suffer yet another epic meltdown?
  • How will the crowd at the Linc greet  Reid?
  • After almost a full season, the Birds are still trying to figure out this safety situation.  Nate Allen was benched, Kurt Coleman is back at free safety and Colt Anderson remains, switching to strong safety.  We’ll see how it goes.

Sunday at the Linc: Will Fans Cheer or Boo Andy Reid?

Sunday, December 23rd, 2012

by Brandyn Campbell

Regardless of the outcome of today’s game at Lincoln Financial Field between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins, it will be a significant day in the franchise’s history.  Why?  Because it will very likely mark the last game in Philadelphia for Andy Reid, the last time he will have an opportunity to interact with thousands of Eagles fans.

How will the good-bye go?  Will fans boo?  Will they applaud?  The curiosity of seeing the final reception for Reid from Birds fans may well override the storyline of the three-way tie in the NFC East that will, in part, take place on the field.  We already know, of course, that the Eagles are the only team in the division with no part of that race.

Players like LeSean McCoy, who will take to the field Sunday after recovering from a concussion, doesn’t want to think about the rapidly approaching steps leading to the end of Reid’s tenure in Philadelphia.

“I’m not thinking like that.  I don’t want to answer that type of question.  As far as I’m concerned, he’s our coach right now and hopefully in the future.”

For better or for worse, Shady is in Reid’s corner until the very end.

“If you sat here and tried to name five to eight coaches that’s better than Coach Reid, I would like to hear them, because Coach Reid’s a good coach.  He gets blamed for everything.  Sometimes if you break down the film or break down the plays and the mistakes, how do you fault the coach for that?  But I guess people have their own opinions and their minds are made up.  The thing about the team is we know how good of a coach he really is.  Whatever happens, happens.  I’m behind Coach Reid 110 percent.”

Yes, it is players who are the ones who actually play the game.  But from an outside perspective, the sloppy play and poor fundamentals point to a lack of discipline.  A lack of respect for the game.  And no one on a team is more important in setting a tone of discipline and respect than the head coach.

Does Reid deserve a warm send-off from Philadelphia fans at the Linc on Sunday?  I’d say so.  If nothing else, it’s because the nightmare of the past two seasons is nearing its conclusion.  Yes, Big Red brought a lot of success to the franchise over his fourteen years with the team and that should be acknowledged.  But he is also made a number of shocking miscues that have led directly to where the Eagles find themselves today.

The long march to the end of the season is thankfully almost over for this team, as is, in all likelihood, the end of the Reid era in Philadelphia.
