Super surprising that Lurie fired him. Looks like Chip the GM got the coach fired, given how quickly Lurie restructured the front office.
Problem is that the quality of coaching replacements look pretty mediocre. If the eagles want to be the most wanted coaching job, they have to have Bradford back next year. Another problem is that the most wanted coaches will go to the teams with the best QB talent, so the colts and titans jobs will be the most wanted positions, assuming they fire their coaches. We will probably most coaches 3rd choices.
Regardless of who is the coach, we just have to acquire talent in the draft and free agency. Maxwell looks good when he covers no2 wrs with Thomas behind him, but pretty average when he has to cover top wrs and Jenkins behind him. I think the wrs had a similar problem, Aghalor would probably get more separation vs no 2 corners, but unfortunately he takes on the top cb.
This means Shurmer and Davis are gone, unless Shurmer takes on an interim role next year.
This sucks imo because we lost a pretty ordinary GM, but the cost was losing a good coach. If chip gets another job in the NFL, he will be a better coach at his next stop purely because he had would have learned from his mistakes and do things differently.
