Also heard Scot Pioli is looking for work. Ireland left because some of his big buck FAs (Wallace, Revis) didn't bring the desired results.

Revis went to Tampa, not Miami.

Which...of course, makes him available.

I just heard Howie Roseman on ESPN NFL Insiders. He said they wanted Chip Kelley because Kelley was willing ( and WANTED ) to keep the good players on the Eagles and adjust his system to them. Kelley didn't want to gut the team and get all "his" guys in there

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latest news on Kelly is that he "wasn't confident" his college offensive system would work in the NFL. Seems to me then he was trying to be cautious in his approach to coaching in the NFL. Obviously he made the right decision.

Backup quarterback, my ass. When the season started? This is Brady- Bledsoe redux. FYI Foles had the best qbr of any starting qb in the freaking league- yes, better than Manning, Brady, & Rodgers, You want to call a guy who threw 27 TD passes to only 2 interceptions a backup? Get out of here with that weak shit.

If not a backup - which he was at the start of the year, then perhaps just an 'unknown commodity' - like we had in Hoyer.

The Eagles did it. They were 4-12 in 2012 and they had 3 pro bowlers. Then they hired Kelley and went 10-6 with a backup QB and won their division.

So your saying there's a chance???????

can we get that now though? Basically a coach that agrees to come here under the implicit understanding he has one year to win 8 games or more, and he has to do it with the current roster whether they fit what he likes to do or not.

Last I heard he was an "adviser" to the dearly departed Greg Schiano.

And 2 of them had 1st round bye's in this years playoffs. Maybe Randy Lerner should have kept Butch Davis. Wasn't he doing that?
