Noted above...

It's unlike Dov to push something like that and cite Cowherd. I'm not doubting it to be true, just seems odd.

That's one reason why I noted it. Kleiman is generally a decent source.

I'd like to think he has information outside of just Cowherd, but if so he didn't mention it.

Well, now wait a second.  Chip Kelly would like to say something here.

Fair point

They've also been known to have a turbulent relationship with some of those coaches after they're hired.

I wish we could get Cooter on our staff.

From what I've read, he's actually a decent coach.

Kelly may be the exception that proves the rule.  And even that could have worked out, right up until they gave him personnel control so he could take his science experiment to the next level......and blow up the lab while he was in it.

It's one a few times where I was joking and serious at the same time.

Also coulda swore two Broncos beat reporters just hours ago said it looked like Payton was out. What happened while I was napping.

I don't know that anybody else interviewed Andy Reid when he got the Eagles job. He wasn't even a coordinator at the time. Hell, I'm not sure anybody besides them interviewed Sirianni last year either.

If there's one thing the Eagles have shown they know how to do, it's hiring head coaches.

Wait, you're not actually comparing Steve Wilks (which is who Growl was alluding to) to Andy Reid?

[UNCrules2187]

Philly definitely has a different process when it comes to their HC searches. They interviewed and hired Reid before hiring a coach who had never been a coordinator was even a thing, and when they hired Pederson and Sirianni, they were the only ones to interview those two during those respective HC searches.

Best read I can get is that the owner wants him but others aren't so sure.

Having people to potentially stop the new owner from doing something dumb would have been nice to have here a few years ago.

No. Just giving an example of the situation he was talking about.

Every coaching search is different. There's no one model that everybody follows.
