If his wife didn't like Green Bay how could she have been talked into moving to...

When Clements becomes the new Head Coach in Cleveland, Packers will have an opening for OC.

I wonder how Udonis Haslam and Joe Banner got to know each other? Banner was an Eagle guy who I think essentially lost a power struggle with the Reid-ians. Haslam, a former center for the Gators and the Heat had an ownership history with the Steelers.

Everyone's tenure at the Eagles has been star-crossed since the initial phase of Reid's tenure. They are competent, but have had huge holes on otherwise solid teams. That tradition continues today since, with a well performing Defense and an underperforming Offense, Reid seems to have been forced to fire Juan Castillo because Nmandi Asomugha doesn't like him.

EDIT: Further reading doesn't indicate that he left after a struggle. Was named President of the Eagles in 2001, after Reid had been coach for 2 years. Reid became VP of Football Operations in 2001 and it would seem Reid would have reported to him. I seem to recall a problem with this, but perhaps not as I can't find it.

My current attitude toward the entire offensive side of the ball is wait and see.

Possible, but I don't think it is too likely. Clements will be 60 in January. I know the NFL would never practice age discrimination, :roll: but head coaching has become a young man's game, especially for 1st time HCs. Old, proven HCs get re-cycled, but the new ones tend to be a lot younger.

The Philadelphia defense has not had a sack in 3 games.

For those still opining for Cullen Jenkins return, he hasn't had a sack this season.

Every owner wants "his" guy in there.

Not surprising given Cleveland's record. Men like Holmgren don't need a full-time gig anyway. They can work as much as they want serving as consultants anyway.

Has nothing to do with this thread but did you guys know Mike Sherman use to be Joe Philbin's English teacher in H.S. :shock:

Actually, Cullen Jenkins hasn't had even a partial credit for a sack since the Eagles 10th game last year, and hasn't had a full sack credited to him since the Eagles 5th game of last season. He had 5 sacks in their first five games of 2011, and has had just one-half sack since then.

Holmgren should never had pined for a GM's job. He didn't exactly shine in Seattle and Cleveland is still a mess. He should have stuck with coaching.

Forget advanced stats as they tell the same story:

Eagles O: 31st in points, 11th in yards
Eagels D: 13th in points, 12th in yards

Catillo's unit wasn't the biggest problem, it was the only thing holding the team together. He took the fall so Reid could have a chance to fix the offense.

It was his best destiny. It's like when they made James T. Kirk an Admiral: Bad move.

Is this whatcha call a 'brown out'? :wink:
