The front office hire needs to be a Polian type

[Diggle]

Football guy / oversees entire football operations / only reports to Lurie / in charge of Howie / oversees director of player of personal or GM

If Lurie had any connection on the ground, he would know that he needs someone manage his investment better. Need a Colangelo type to come in bc Lurie has zero idea how to run a proper football organization.

I can't believe that Lurie entrusts his investment in the Eagles to Howie.

[Diggle]

Honestly, I don't think he does anymore. That's why he wont address the structure of the FO.

You may be right.

But there is one thing I am pretty sure of.

I think Lurie dislikes Kelly on a personal level and that played a big role in why Kelly got shitcanned.

So I heard last season in Chips end of year meeting he busted out a binder with problems within the football organization with Howie being a predominant theme. While Chip might be gone and Howie still here, it doesnt mean those words didn't affect his impression of Howie.

But if he brings in strictly a personnel guy who reports to Howie, we know he is a true chump. He stepped in shit hiring Andy Reid.

That's never gonna happen as long as Roseman is in the building.

But, Joffrey had shown the capacity to let his rabbit ears perk up and make the move that calms the natives so anything is possible.

When it was said that the Eagles consulted with Bill...

Polian about their HC search, it was sort of true. It turns out that Jaws was the one that consulted Polian.


At least that was the buzz at the time.

[Diggle]

We can only hope

[Diggle]

Yeah heard that too. I'm probably just stoned but I think this is possible

[slag]

Having a guy who wore dress socks in gym class is bad enough.

When he doesn't even know what he doesn't know, it's disaster.

[art vandelay]

so the jaws thing wasn't just damage control? the thing seemed really contrived to me. put a fan favorite on a local news station to reveal a binder(?!) with the "tiers" of coaches(don't know if that's tampering, but it's going waaay too public with an internal search) to make it seem like they got "their" guy.

[Diggle]

Its clear Lurie doesnt know football. Thats why I suggest he bring in a president to run the team. Someone who can resolve differences within the organization and lead the football side of things.

100% Correct! Polian, Parcells.... Parcells is done, but would Polian take a job? He's in the HOF now right? Would that preclude him from taking a football job?

[slag]

Right ... but the problem may be that he doesn't know it.

[Drama Queen]

Lurie blows. He hired a HC

Before he hired a GM.

There goes that notion.
