If it was the Giants that were looking at him, you have a point, they would certainly not grant him the interview.

But for a team that doesn't play in the division it's not that bad for them.

McDermott's given a lot to the Eagles. He was an assistant head coach for one year, but for some reason he was demoted. He's been with them for ten years and is still a position coach. I would be pissed if they refused me the opportunity to take a bigger command of a team's defense when I've given so much to them over the years.

lol he called plays for them last year when johnson's hip flared up and he had to sit in the booth

he's not leaving philly until he's been a DC

You don't know anymore than he does

haha so now teams are hording coaches for depth?

Injury report-Jim Johnson is questionable for Sunday's game. If he cannot call blitzes, backup Sean McDermott will likely fill in the role.

[megadeth078]

It sucks that McCoy's gone. If Davidson goes down with an injury, there's no experienced backup.

yes teams horde coaches as eventual replacements what an earth shattering concept.

you said he'd be pissed that he wasn't given a chance to command more of the team's defense.

i just pointed out you were wrong. they had done exactly that.

Where are you guys finding out the unemployed candadites for DC?

But he's not a DC. So it's not really "his" defense to lead. When I said "bigger command of a defense" I meant actually being a legit coordinator instead of filling in as a playcaller for a little while.

Plus, I don't know they type of money he makes but I'm willing to guess it's not as much as a DC makes. I could be wrong, but if I'm not, he knows he's got opportunity to make more money in a different city as well.

From what I know, Andy Reid isn't the type to hold his guys back. Of course, he got burned letting Spagnuolo go, so who knows?

(I'm not as interested in McDermott as others, but I like him)

he's under contract for one more year and I don't see the eagles letting him walk though its still a possibility, just not a likely one.

Did I miss it or has anyone mentioned Jack yet??? As far as I know, he's unemployed, well liked by Fox and Richardson and most Panthers fans..... Just my .02

He's not unemployed.

Gantt comments on the coaching situation:

Regarding Herm Edwards...

I don't think Herm Edwards ends up here coaching defensive backs. I don't think Herm Edwards ends up coaching anywhere. I think Herm Edwards ends up in a TV studio on Sunday mornings and afternoons.

At this point, it's probably his best bet, because he'd likely be able to go straight from TV to a head coaching gig in a year or two, and he'd be really good on TV. Really good. If you're a producer, put him next to Keyshawn, roll tape and put your feet up.

And regarding the open spots, including DC...

Call it a hunch, but I think the Panthers are going to have their staff together before the Super Bowl kicks off next Sunday night.

The one thing John Fox might be best at is talking people into stuff, and getting four guys to come work for him is the next thing on his list.

There are enough established guys out there to pick from, and honestly, I think they could take any of the established guys -- Dave McGinnis (a sleeper pick, who'd do a great job), Jim Haslett or Romeo Crennel -- and be fine.

Closing up shop for the night

(he also notes that the last time he "closed up shop", all hell broke loose)
