Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie said former general manager Howie Roseman will again head the team’s front office, with the title of executive vice president of football operations. Former senior advisor Tom Donahoe will run the personnel department, under Roseman, even after the Eagles hire a coach to replace Chip Kelly, fired Tuesday evening.
Lurie said he isn’t necessarily looking for a certain type of coach -- college or NFL – and that he wanted his search committee to get a head start on vetting candidates. He said he did not give Kelly the option of giving up personnel control and staying – their meeting Tuesday was for Lurie to convey to Kelly that he was being dismissed.
