Starts with Chip and Tom Gambles relationship. WangNutsChip doesnt trust pencil neck dweeb Howie (not a football guy) and buddies up to Gamble. Howie feels the pinch and starts plotting.
Chip draws his line in the sand. Demands full control bc he doesnt trust Howie. Thinks he can get Gamble as GM and Howie out. Howie has too much power in the org to be fired. Gamble is collateral damage in Chips negotiating full control. Because no real personelle exec would come to Eagles with Howie still around, Chip was forced to go with Manowitz.
Then the offseason follies begin with...
Bradford (come on really...that 2nd rounder hurts)
Maxwell signing (not as bad as fans make out to be)
Shady for Kiko (gotta get better value there)
Then not going up on the money for Maclin (gotta forsee the increase in cap and the deals for WRs in the coming years - overpay year 1, super steal by year 3 when cap is 30 mil higher and 5 deals higher)
Panicked from not getting Maclin, signing Demarco.
Meanwhile, the locker room sours with some beloved players gone. Chip isnt a warm and fuzzy leader. Players resent the guy asking them to wear things like sleep moniters and practicing so much.
Season starts. Losing. Howie in Luries ear the whole time. Players bail on Chip. Lurie takes organizational pulse and decides to become more visible. Last straw 7-9 season. Chip gone.
Coach search begins. No valid coach wants to come to Eagles while dweeb Howie is in the building. Hire Pederson.
Personelle exec search continues. No one wants to work under Howie. Too viotile.
Now the braintrust of the Eagles are intern to VP Howie Roseman and a guy who 7 years ago was coaching high school football
