Cue the collective groans from Eagles fans. “No,” they say, “The whole point of firing Mike Groh and Carson Walch was to get fresh blood in the building! Someone needs to bring new ideas for Doug’s offense.”
On that note, I agree. The last post I wrote advocated for the firing of Groh, Walch, and Press Taylor. And an internal promotion was not the next step I had in mind at the time. Back when I was preparing my post after the wreckage of the Dolphins game, I had a whole slew of write-ups about outside candidates at the ready for the announcement later that week that coaches had been fired.
