Gase is a nerd, can't wait to pound Miami next year. Zombo

@logicisforsquares said:Yeah I don't really understand why they were interviewing him to begin with. Part of the Rooney Rule I would say....though they did interview other minority candidates. None of whom were Asian.....or Middle Eastern.

I have admittedly little basis, but I like seeing McDermott in the search. He seems to be lobbying for the Philly job, however. He is from the Philly area... But McDermott indicated to 97.5 The Fan in Philadelphia that he'd love to coach the Eagles, who have not yet requested permission to interview him. He spent 12 years with the Eagles, including as defensive coordinator in 2009-10. "I love the Philadelphia area, and quite honestly, it's been tough to watch the last several years having grown up in the area and worked there for 12 years," McDermott told host Anthony Gargano. "Let's just say that at the present time, with any and all jobs, I'm going to defer to my agent. It's a process, and I'm humbled and honored to be in that conversation, whether it's with the Eagles or the other teams that are interested. I would just love to see the Eagles recapture that magic, and that's probably the best I can say at this point." Very little video of McD interviews. Here's the only one I found on the Panther team site: http://www.panthers.com/media-vault/videos/Sean-McDermott-Norman-a-shutdown-corner/f9173d1b-ef21-4ed5-9c53-0eef2127c2e9 EDIT: For those interested the segment after McD's is a Mike Shula interview.
