Call me crazy, but with the players they have on defense I think he'd be a good fit. It seemed to me this season that they had the talents on D but also had a terrible scheme.

There's a lot of talent on the team except at QB and coaching.

I wonder if the Eagles job will be the hardest sell because of Vick, choosing to go there would pretty much be coaching suicide given that Vick is a coach killer.

Are they also looking for a GM? Perhaps it would be a good fit for Pioli.

With an impressive senior bowl/combine one of their stock's will rise meteorically in a desperate attempt to take on #1 overall, but they'll never live up to their potential.

Worst class in years and years. If I had to get a QB it most definitely wouldn't be with a 1st or 2nd in the draft. I like Ryan Nassib out of Syracuse but he shouldn't be picked any higher than the 3rd round. If I were desperate for a QB I would trade some picks for Kirk Cousins. Dude is going to be really good. Not a superstar but a very solid NFL QB.

I'd like to quickly remind everyone about the 2008 class where we got Ryan. He was originally looked at like a mid-to-late 1st round pick with Brohm ranked ahead of him in some circles and Flacco still a relative unknown.

Its January. Way too early to tell.

I think he can be cut without a horrible cap hit.

Lovie Smith interviewing at Philly. Hope they take him, so Nolan can be assumed to stay here.

Good. Mike Zimmer deserves to be a HC. I think the Browns would be a good fit for hi.

[mdrake34]

In a surprise move, Browns hired Panthers OC Rob Chudzinski as their new HC.

Also, it's worth noting that MM was the 8th NFL HC fired since the end of the season, so next year 1/4 of the league's teams will have a new HC. That's nuts.

[mdrake34]

Chargers hire Mike McCoy, Bronco's OC, as new HC.

Chip Kelly changed his mind, signed with the Eagles

Chicago hires Trestman


At least we won't have to worry about the bears for a few years

Eagles might be stuck with Vick for another year, lolz.
