What is everyone's reaction going to be when they make Shurmur HC

[ReidsArmy]

I think that is just as likely to happen as bringing a new guy in.

[bobbyuk]

Shurmur will be the fall back option. Eckel is campaigning so hard to bring in Adam Gase and hire him by next Tuesday, he ignores the fact that at least one minority candidate has to be interviewed. Thats why I was hoping the Bengals could get a 1st round bye--so they could interview Hue Jackson.

[J_Cuz31]

they should be doing everything they can to convince David Shaw to come in for an interview. I know he probably will go to Indy to coach Luck if he chooses to leave Stanford but maybe, just maybe, with enough money, the Eagles can steer him in another direction. As fas as Im concerned Shaw is head and shoulders the number one option for any NFL team in need of a Head Coach.

Based on what? Especially since Payton could very well be an option.

[1960]

They are going to hire someone with NFL head coaching experience. And they will overpay to get someone who has won it all.

Not sure how the language is written on that, but couldn't they just interview Deuce?

His program kept right on rolling after Luck left. Stanfords rigorous acceptance requirements mean he doesnt get the same amount of top talent like other schools do, and yet they still rank amongst the top in the nation. His predecessor and mentor went to SF and had success. He was an offensive coach for the Raiders when rich gannons late career surge happened. He has won three conference titles and he is very young.

Everything points to this guy being a very good football coach for a very long time and he actually held several NFL jobs before joining Hrbaughs staff.

Oh, he also runs a traditional pro offense.

so what your saying is

I think that is just as likely to happen as bringing a new guy in.

there is a 50% chance we hire from within and a 50% chance we hire outside the company,.....Wow thats insightful

think he will be lucky to keep his job...

[schuylkilli_igg]

No way, gotta get rid of the whole garbage can

I think that is just as likely to happen as bringing a new guy in.

or else it will all continue to stink. I dont think Lurie wants anyone connected to this current coaching staff anywhere near the field after Sundays game.

[bobbyuk]

I think Shaw's already told teams he's not leaving Stanford.

[bobbyuk]

Yep. Previously they interviewed Ted Williams who's been with the Eagles for 20 years.

[The Ref]

Yep. Previously they interviewed Ted Williams who's been with the Eagles for 20 years.

Lurie has only hired three coaches in his 22 years of ownership. One of his hires was black. Interviewing an assistant within the organization to circumvent the Rooney Rule is not a habit here. No doubt in my mind that Hue Jackson will be offered an interview. They would do well to hire him.

[BigSlizz]

I'd be OK with it. It'll be either him or Ginger.

[desertcogo]

Please Not Shurmur

I don't have a favorite for the HC position yet but I know I don't want Shurmur.

[Diggle]

Its more likely to be Ginger with Shurmur staying on as assistant head coach/OC.
