Eagles Offering 'complete Autonomy' Seems Like A Bad Idea

PHILADELPHIA - If nan leaks are correct, nan Eagles person gone from superpower to a tinpot, third-world mentality overnight.

I get it. 

Philadelphia underachieved offensively, and possibly erstwhile violative coordinator Kevin Patullo was promoted past his champion domiciled successful nan organization.

If that’s nan case, though, Occam’s Razor would opportunity correct that misstep and stay connected nan people of what made you 1 of nan winningest teams successful shot complete nan past 5 years.

Clearly, nan Eagles don’t judge this is conscionable a Patullo problem, and that’s surely nan correct perspective.

What isn’t nan correct way is promising nan world to coaches pinch mediocre occurrence connected their resumes, but nan benignant of style-point acumen that would wow nan College Football Playoff Committee and WIP callers.

The buzz astir nan convention is that OC candidates who couldn’t lucifer nan Eagles’ occurrence connected their champion time are fundamentally interviewing nan statement while demanding afloat autonomy connected a squad pinch 5 consecutive postseason berths, 2 NFC Championships, and a Lombardi Trophy successful nan Nick Sirianni era.

Overreaction?

Per Josina Anderson: “A convention root besides conscionable told maine first talks pinch #Eagles violative coordinator candidates/ "their camps" person gone well, adding that nan feedback has been connected wanting to person questions assuaged connected "complete autonomy" complete nan offense--similar to what Kellen Moore enjoyed erstwhile he was pinch Philly. Those concerns were met pinch responses insuring an elite campaigner should not expect "any interference," nan root said.

Really?

In hindsight, nan Moore autonomy was somewhat overblown. 

The now-New Orleans caput coach was only fixed 2 slots connected nan violative unit – then-quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier and value power coach Kyle Valero - and nary “interference” lasted until Week 5 erstwhile nan Eagles reverted to their halfway Sirianni violative philosophies erstwhile nan improvement to a Moore-like Dallas discourtesy was producing excessively galore turnovers. 

To his credit, Moore wasn’t astir to balk because he recognized that was nan measurement to triumph pinch nan Eagles, and nan attack fueled a Super Bowl LIX title and a head-coaching job.

The thought that Sirianni had been neutered quickly mislaid steam.

And possibly history repeats itself and these existent sentiments are quiet promises that will evaporate successful nan fog of war.

However, it judge feels for illustration Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman want to spell done pinch nan process this time, which could nutrient chopped fiefdoms pinch nan violative directive branching disconnected into aggregate directions that scope acold beyond Jalen Hurts’ modular of winning.

And if that’s nan case, possibly Sirianni’s rebranding should beryllium “tough, detailed, and separate.”
