1. Hell yeah

2. Hell yeah brother

3. Bears are on the rise and Eagles are not. Lateral move doesn’t make sense.

4. 

5. Fantastic

6. 

7. It’s nice not being the dumpster fire for a change.

9. Doyle deserves much better than that trap Philly job, glad he’ll be back.

10. Another year under Ben or a year with Sirianni and egg on your house. Smart decision.

11. Let’s goo

12. Saw an interesting post on here basically saying that OC’s are avoiding the Eagles because of the fans. Everybody saw them egg the old OC’s house and don’t want any part of it.

13. Smart. Bro wants to win a title before moving on.

14. 

15. Dumb question, but what does an OC do if the head coach is the play caller? Are they more focused on developing the players in practice during the week, or are they helping with subs on game day?

16. Smart to not want his house egged.

17. Feel like he’ll be ready to call plays for the bears in a season or two.

18. Now retain Al Harris and were alright

19. I would not want Hurts as my first QB when I’m calling plays.

20. Not sure why anyone would want that eagles job.

21. I would think so. The guy is in a great situation for a young offensive mind. Stick around a few years and watch how Ben grows into the job.

22. Interview practice?

23. Based on how the Eagles’ fans treated the last OC, it will be interesting to see who ends up taking the job.

24. The sun will come out tomorrow!

25. Good deal

26. Smort

27. this felt like in the draft, when a late round team interviews a top pick, just to get acquainted with them for the future. Doesn’t really feel like there would be any serious interest from the Eagles or Doyle right now

28. Without a doubt this is what was always going to happen. I hope he at least interviewed for the experience. But even if he was going to get to call plays sooner, with Philly, the Bears are a much more attractive position

29. Still 3 vacant jobs out there. Don’t see how it’s certain he returns

30. Might as well get one superbowl ring before you leave to get promoted, I get it.

31. Unfinished business

32. Eagles fans really don’t wanna accept the real reason no one wants to be their OC over in the sub

33. Smart move by him, the eagles OC job would be death, and if the Bears have another great season offensively he’ll have his pick of the litter and may even get some interviews for head coaching gigs.

34. If Declan is learning from Ben, I wonder if he had questions on why the offense is run a certain way, and Sirriani couldn’t answer – and Declan was like “whelp, this guy doesn’t know what he’s doing. I’m staying in Chicago.”

35. Consistency is great. I just want Caleb to have coaches that he can rely on throughout his tenure. Look at the consistency Patrick Mahomes has had in KC.

36. Nice! Now do Al Harris and I’m a happy camper

38. Hes going to have his pick of playcalling OC opportunities next year maybe even a HC job. No reason to jump on a sinking ship

39. Declan’s a young guy with a very bright future ahead. It’s a smart career move to learn everything you can from Ben now until he’s 100% prepared and the right opportunity comes around.

40. Let’s hope the whole staff stays at least 1 more year.

41. Thank you!! We need to retain Al Harris.

42. according to google that’s 7 people now that have withdrawn/decided to stay with their current team after meeting with the eagles?

    declan doyle, charlie weis jr, mike mcdaniel, brian daboll, zac robinson, bobby slowik and arthur smith

    dumpster fire over there in philly at the moment
