There’s never been a fan base like that of the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>. There’s no other media market like the City of Brotherly Love. You aren’t talking us out of this. Yes, the Cleveland Browns<\/a> and Buffalo Bills<\/a> have endured more pain. Sure, the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> Nation is almost equally insane at times, but let’s be honest. Raiders<\/a> fans were more hostile when the team was in Oakland.<\/p>\n As far as the media covering this team. Think about something for a second. You can draw parallels to New York’s passion and aggressiveness, but it doesn’t have the same reputation. Much love to the Big Apple, to Gotham, but something is different in this town. If the Eagles<\/a> lose, you’d better request a few wellness checks.<\/p>\n Birds fans and the local media live and die with their football team. That may not be a literal jawn, but it’s pretty close to being spot-on. One day before the Sean Mannion hire – one day – there was calamity. One day after the announcement of the Josh Grizzard hire, things couldn’t be any more peaceful.<\/p>\n The Eagles media and fan base have fallen in love with Josh Grizzard.<\/p>\n We hate to say ‘We told you so’.

We asked you… Shouldn’t this team have earned our trust by now<\/a>?<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n All the complaining. All of the negativity. The hours dedicated to complaining about a hostile work environment… You do realize all of that worrying was done for no reason, right?<\/p>\n The Eagles took their time with their OC search, and it went past the three-week mark, but they found two young, bright minds to help drive innovation.<\/p>\n Sean Mannion will serve as offensive coordinator<\/a>. Josh Grizzard was also added. He’s the new pass game coordinator<\/a>. Both come highly esteemed.<\/p>\n
