Eagles name Juan Castillo defensive coordinator and Howard Mudd offensive line coach.

[BountyHunter]

Wow ... and that's an upgrade?

[Mr. Scot]

He was a linebacker in college and with the USFL, but he hasn't coached defensive anything since 1994.

They'd interviewed two defensive back coaches, plus Green Bay ILB Coach Winston Moss was openly lobbying for a shot at the job earlier today.

What... :confused:

Wow, it's what happens when you wait to the last second to hire a coach, plus I mean if I was a coach why would you want to go their? Reid is starting to get on the hot seat and from the firing of our now new DC if you aren't a yes man, you might get the can.

[c0r]

lol

[Paintballr]

I mean if you were a defensive player, would this hire pump you up?

[GritsRgreat]

I like Howard Mudd, goood coach. Hate the Eagles.

[Mr. Scot]

I'll give them this. They got a good replacement for Castillo at OL Coach (Howard Mudd). He is getting up there, though.

With that said, I'd have to say I don't get this. There were good candidates available. Heck, Winston Moss just said today he really wanted to interview. And there's names like Ray Horton, Todd Bowles and others out there too.

Reid did a little bit of position switching on his staff once before, moving former Special Teams Coach Rory Segrest to DL Coach a few years back. How did that go? Segret was fired a few weeks back.

Would love to see what the Eagle fanbase have to say about this but i'm banned from their message board.

O-Line coach to D Coordinator... intriguing.

*blink*

[bleys]

NFLN just said something along the lines of, Castillo hasn't coached defense since HS.. (or maybe that was play calling)

I wasn't paying full attention...

[Mr. Scot]

Howard, not Harry.
