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....

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
