Eagles game may have just gotten interesting

There's been massive speculation that the USC Trojans would go hard after Eagles coach Chip Kelly if they fired head coach Steve Sarkisian, something that's been rumored for a while 

Sarkisian was officially canned today.

With that now done and Kelly off to a slow start in Philly, the possibility of a Nick Saban / Bobby Petrino style exit raises its head.

Could be some intrigue going on when we play the Eagles.

Their offense will own our D. The two times we played them, once in pre season, once in regular season, we have looked awful

we're not the same defense we were last season. they gobbled up our secondary but that's the spot we've most improved.

my only real concern about our defense at this point (aside from 59's health) is gap discipline by the interior DL and obviously a consistent pass rush off the edges. neither of these things particularly stymie us going against the eagles roster.

preseason....everyone looks bad not gameplanning for it. 

Chip Kelly isn't new anymore.  Ron is good.  A year of film is now on his O.   Ron got the D

Outside of the Saints game, the most the Eagles have scored this season is 24 points. That's not "owning".

I'd be highly surprised if that happened mid season- Philly fans would literally riot 

You gotta figure Southern Cal will offer him the world with a cherry on top.

Heck, even if he says he'd never leave Philly, it could definitely turn into a distraction.

Chip Kelly is currently making 6.5 Million per year. If he were to ditch his contract which has 2 more seasons after this then he would have to have some really good incentives. Nick Saban is the highest paid coach with 7.3 Million per season and I honestly do not see a situation where he would leave unless USC pays him above 8 million. Plus the sour taste of Lane Kiffin still lingers which makes USC a hot mess right now.

I could see them offering 7.5 a year for 5 years or more plus perks.

Plus his approach is better suited to the college level and he'd arguably have more control there.

that and their QBs are all interception machines....

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
