Well, it's about time! We've all known for years he had to a better job getting his players in the right positions. At least he's finally admitting it. :)

What a joke! He has to go NOW!

I have the headline written for when they fire him:

"THE TIME IS YOURS."

Will give away to DN for free.

I could be convinced to part with any of those guys if the draft pick is high enough.

Specifically Jackson. Guys like him - Mike Wallace in Pitt - have been figured out. They just run deep routes and can be taken away. Is a decoy like that valuable? Sure. Are they worth tens of millions? Probably not. Damaris Johnson could fill that role.

Maclin increasingly looks like just a solid WR, nothing overly special.

I also found out that we can cut Vick with NO cap penalty if he's released within 3 days of the Super Bowl. That's automatic.

The real question is who is going to be hired as the next coach? I've heard a lot of candidates thrown around- now Saban is the flavor of the day

Saban's a weasel who didn't work out with the Dolphins and would bolt to the next college gig if he felt threatened.

Jack, I really believe that most of it comes down to preparation, gameplan, playcalling, and focus. They are the Singletary 49ers, with strong leadership they can bounce back in a few seasons. I am not seeing a total rebuild here. Yet.

I see talent out there on offense - a promising QB, a situational HR back (Brown, not an every down one unless he can get stop fumbling) and guys who will return from injury in 2013 (Peters, Jackson, Celek, McCoy).

On defense we may (sample is small) have a good DL when they run a real NFL defensive system under an actual NFL-caliber coach. I hope Ryans comes back fully healed next season, that achilles is a 2 year injury and he's at 3/4 speed.

We need to fix the secondary - led Namdi go, sign DRC if that can be done for a reasonable price, and address CB and S in the draft. Another OLB to bookend with Kendricks.

I agree with most of what you say, Porter. The turnovers, penalties and lack of determination are on the coach. For sure. There is some talent. Still, I part ways with a lot of these talented Reid guys. I'd let Celek go. I'd let Desean or Maclin (not both) go, too. Cole can go. And, of course, pay Nnamdi his $4M to NOT play.

I saw a half-empty stadium last night for a December Eagles home game- sad sight to see. They need a complete overhaul- NOW

Honestly, the personnel was put together like a fantasy football team. I know that sounds like a cliche, but I agree that NO thought was given to how these guys would fit together.

Not ready to trash Howie, an easy target for many, because I did see a very strong 2012 draft class.

And this is why it is an awful idea to have coaches at one place for so long. Sooner or later they (understandably) go into "win now" mode. Guys like Reid know the clock is ticking. Guys like Parcells in Miami know they're close to retirement. These guys can't be expected to build for a future they won't be a part of. So they fill the team with mercs and don't emphasize building through the draft. And it sets the team back years.

He's done a good job Bo, but he's 60 years old. The fact that he's been overlooked for so long should tell you something. I'm not saying he's not an option, I would just prefer someone younger.

Sure but I imagine the Colts wouldn't bump his salary high enough as a coordinator, then the Eagles could as their head coach. I think the scheme and approach he uses is simple and is flexible to the QB leading it. Your right Phil we do need to draft a QB, but I think we already have our back-up in Trent Edwards. The little I saw of him during the preseason there was nothing not to like about him being a solid veteran back-up. He's only thirty, that said he has had a problem throwing INTs in the past, but didn't throw a single one during the preseason.

I like Polian also and think that is exactly how the process should work if done correctly, but I gotta gut feeling that Howie Roseman isn't going anywhere and he'll have a strong voice in who the next coach is. This is the same pretzel logic that was used to hire a d-line coach before a coordinator.

I would sign DRC. Polian would have to be hired as Pres of Football Operations. Lurie's not gonna eat the 4 yr extension he gave Roseman. They have some pieces and hopefully an NFL caliber coach and coaching staff can provide some cohesion, but I don't see a quick turnaround here- hope I'm wrong. Maclin is soft, but I'd keep him. Jackson has little impact anymore. Celek is a soldier but he gets the sh!t beat out of him. They need 2 safeties, a corner and a real coach.

Mike such statements about the secondary and current TE, you've just warmed my heart, heck I am almost speechless, as these are the exact things I've said to you however long ago and you didn't entirely agree. You've seen the light! I agree with you in bringing DRC back, but only if the price isn't over the moon. I think he'll get some serious offers, considering his position. I think CB Dee Milliner, which I mentioned previously, you'd draft and plug in instantly at strong safety. You'll see here where Alabama uses him frequently and successfully against the run. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/futures/2012/futures-alabama-cb-dee-milliner
I can't help but think that Polian may balk at an Eagles offer, if he can't bring in his own guy as the next GM. He spent his last few years in Indy trying to groom his son for the job, and I sense this is something the Colts owner was never on board with, and part of the reason he was let go. It wasn't just the one bad season.

No, No I say such with love and jest, for sure you very well could have been right and I wrong, and I didn't meant for it to come out that way. You know I love talking football with you and respect the hell out of you knowledge.

I was dead wrong about DRC when we spoke about my disfavor of him, late in the preseason, and have now changed my tune. He is the first priority of the offseason, well other than the obivious.

Exactly how I feel in a new situation with a different coaching staff DRC will continue to mature as a player. I think there were enough signs of such during this season to believe that to be true. I think Andy did him a favor by chewing him out, and he obiviously responded better to it than Nnamdi, who I still think is one of the, if not the smartest guy in the entire league. That is why his horrible play these past two season is so befuddling.

Yeah right, my question is why hasn't he acted like a football player these past two seasons. I love it when he talks about the undisciplined play of his fellow Raiders in that clip. The topper is when he reminds the viewer that he once was a safety, and familiar with different zone coverages and the responsibilities others in the secondary depending on coverage.
