Give this situation time guys. They are trying..from what we ve heard ..to do more than just hire Marty Hurney, which everyone is going to look at his record or the old boy network. Just be patient. Things are brewing & take time. Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) January 19, 2021
NFC East Notes: Wentz, Smith, Cowboys January 19th, 2021 at 7:29pm CST by Sam Robinson
Carson Wentz‘s status has fluctuated considerably over the past month and change, with the veteran quarterback having gone from starter to backup and then trade candidate to a player around whom the Eagles again want to build. The fifth-year passer’s issues with the since-fired Doug Pederson began well before the December benching, with the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane noting the quarterback would randomly audible out of Pederson play calls down the stretch this season. This helped lead to Pederson benching Wentz on his own. During training camp, however, Eagles staffers saw warning signs of a potential decline, per McLane, who adds that some within the organization were concerned about passing-game coordinator
With McDaniels gaining so much momentum in recent days, it s surprising to see that the Eagles are continuing to expand their search. But at this point unless they 100% already know who they want and even then there s little harm in being patient the Eagles have the luxury of taking their time in this process. Five of the seven head coaching vacancies have been filled, with only Philly and Houston remaining.
With the number of candidates the team has brought in, it seems unlikely that the Texans will steal their guy away from them. And even if they do, there has to be a Candidate 1A. Otherwise, why wouldn t the Eagles have made a move already?
