[Clark] The Eagles discussed the possibility of Bill Belichick after their collapse last season but they believed in Nick Sirianni and keeping the model they had, according to ESPN.

1. No more senior citizens in positions of power please

2. Bullet dodged

3. BB coach/Howie GM/owner that spends might’ve been great wait a minute

4. It also says that they were worried they could have him for two seasons max and they liked Nick still so they didn’t want to upend the entire franchise for two seasons with a coach that has never developed a successor.

   Also says that they still think he’s a top tier coach.

5. Has anyone here watched DYNASTY on Apple TV?

   I’m glad Belichick isn’t coaching our team. People say Belichick is a robot like Saban and thus would get along well with robot Jalen Hurts, but the documentary exposed Belichick’s shady pass. Spying on the Jets for example. Hurts has too much integrity for that. Hurts is interested in working hard within the rules

6. I didn’t think BB was the guy, but I’m not convinced Nick is either.

   Frankly, I would imagine the Kellen hire is a nice way of saying “Nick has 7 games to keep his job” this year.

7. BB as just a coach would’ve been a significant upgrade. BB in the same role he had with the Patriots would’ve killed our future.

8. I rather go after Mike Tomlin

9. 1) Firing Sirianni last year would have been a mistake, if this FO goes off and fires two different head coaches in a span of about 5 years despite both bringing at the minimum a SB appearance to the city no legitimate head coaching solution will want to play here.

   2) I’d rather give Sirianni another shot considering, you know, he’s already gotten us to a SB appearance. Not only that but you’re shattering the work environment of the franchise for likely two to maybe three years of Bill.

   3) Bill likely wanted continued control over the drafting process and between Bill and Howie, my money is on Howie being more equipped to build a team for continued success.

10. In Feb my wife was on a flight with BB with heading into Philly and we joked how wild it would be if he was here interviewing for the job.

11. Oh hell NO!

12. This is obvious right?

    The most successful football coach of all time is on the market. Seems worthy of at least an internal conversation.

    And it ended there

13. TB absolutely did not make BB, but it’s pretty obvious at this point his ability to do anything offense related atrophied through the years by having Tom.

    Furthermore, I doubt BB is willing to move on from the amount of control he had in the organization… especially one like Philly where Roseman himself isn’t exactly known for being hands off.

    Still one of the best defensive minds in the game, which is super rare after 25 years as head coach, but he won’t get another job unless he’s willing to embrace an offensive philosophy way different then the one he’s been stuck too for years.

14. Should have hired him as DC

15. I think BB didn’t go elsewhere because of the possibility. Philly, or Dallas, are his best options to get the win record
