  • TIME TO GIVE DUCE A SHOT...

    GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE...HE'S THE ONLY, IF NOT ONE OF THE ONLY COACHES THAT STICK HERE.
    HE HAS THE RESPECT OF HIS PLAYERS, AND I THINK THEY WOULD DROP ON A HAND GRENADE FOR HIM.

    EITHER OC OR HC. PICK ONE I'M IN.

    Could not agree more, Duce has earned it and he has the respect of everyone in the locker room. But Head Coach only, I think if they hire a new head coach Duce will leave.

      it's not fair to him to have this dumpster fire thrown in his lap.

        Joe Banner's theory is that the Eagles would not have fired Pederson if a) they did not already have a replacement in mind and b) were certain that they could land said replacement. Duce fits that.

        I'd be happy with Duce as I think he is a leader - much like with Doug that first staff of coordinators/assistants would be key.

          Duce makes so much sense that it's clear it won't happen.

            I just don't see what the point would be in firing Doug only to hire one of his assistants as HC. Nothing would change.

              Unless the problem with Doug was just that he would no longer be their puppet - which seems to be the case based on the timing and explanation of his firing.

                Definitely. But assuming the reports are true, and Press Taylor was the hill Pederson died on, it would be very weird if they promoted another assistant to an even higher position.

                  It would be different if they hired a playcalling OC and Duce took a Harbaugh/Tomlin type role as HC. But I don't see it happening.

                    I have no idea if Duce would be a good HC. He has, like a lot of position coaches, been a bit invisible. Like him, but hard it form a position on him as HC.

                      Looks like some people have formed a position.

                          I don’t either. Under this arrangement they’d be limited in who they could hire as OC. Even if it worked out, the OC could be hired away as an HC soon.

                            Sure if they won another Superbowl. I'd be okay with that.

                              False equivalence. Duce worked for Doug. He is NOT Doug. There is goodness in providing at least some degree of continuity, with a new spin that Duce would bring to the mindset.
