A little off topic but the one thing I have never been able to figure out is how to post a tweet on here... What is the secret to this wizardly?

If you are on twitter on your phone in the bottom right corner of the tweet there is a box arrow symbol, click that and it will give you some options like copy and all that. I tap copy link and then come here and in the reply box tap the screen and hit paste. Works for me.

Does firing your current coach early in the season have any affect of the hiring process at the end of season. By that I mean, is it advantageous to fire your coach earlier so you can get a head start? We fired the first coach and it was pretty early, should we have a coach by now or are there too many outside circumstances at play?

In theory, it could help you get a little ahead of the game, but it does not seem to have helped us in our current situation.

I just feel like we should have dominated this coaching search, really, no excuse. They had so much more time than other teams. I don’t know, maybe I’m looking at it wrong.

I mean you can’t interview current coaches during the season so unless we decided to bypass the current pool of assistants and wanted to hire someone who was on the sidelines like Reich or Caldwell (couldn’t interview Payton until after the season since he’s under contract), it doesn’t really do much. All it does is give you a head start on building your candidate list.

I don't know that anybody else interviewed Andy Reid when he got the Eagles job. He wasn't even a coordinator at the time. Hell, I'm not sure anybody besides them interviewed Sirianni last year either.

If there's one thing the Eagles have shown they know how to do, it's hiring head coaches.

the eagles aren’t interviewing Steve Wilks either

I heard this was coming. Good find!

Thanks!!! It was a good listen. Some highlights:

- Albright believes Payton may be returning to Fox and will wait till next year to see if one of the LA teams or Dallas opens up.

- He also believes the final two is between Wilks and Steichen with Steichen having the edge because Tepper wants a young, offensive minded coach to pair with a rookie QB.

- Speaking of rookie QB, Albright has been hearing that the Panthers will do anything it takes to get Stroud but the Bears may be the surprise team to take a QB. 

- Julian Council asked why Wilks didn't get more looks around the league and Albright said that it was due to the lack of openings and that the teams already had guys in mind they wanted to interview and stated that many owners are following the trend and want an offensive minded coach because the league is centered on offense but also thinks that being a minority coach could also be a reason.

- Also talked about the DC position, in particular, about Fangio coming here. He believes that Fangio will look at other options and only will consider Carolina if only the other options will not work out. Also stated that he doesn't know who Steichen would hire but imagines it will be his own staff and that him and Jonathan Gannon (rumored to be the front runner in Houston) will be a bidding war for some of the guys from the Eagles' staff.

I am sure I missed some stuff and most stuff is things we already know but some points were interesting...

      ARTICLE: Rams paid a big price in trade with Panthers to move up 13 spots for Braden Fiske

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      Article:  The Rams must love rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske, because they paid the Panthers a fortune to move up in the second round and draft him. To move up from No. 52 to No. 39 and draft Fiske, the Rams gave up the 155th overall pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ second-round pick in next year’s draft. That’s a rare price to pay, for a move up of just 13 spots in the second round. In fact, according to Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics, the Rams overpaid by the most any team has overpaid to move up on Day Two of the draft in at least the last six years. Ultimately, the Rams used two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick on Fiske. That’s a lot to spend. For the Panthers, it’s a great deal that nets them a second-round pick next year in addition to Jonathon Brooks, the running back the Panthers drafted after making another trade that packaged the two picks they got from the Rams. The Panthers didn’t have a 2025 second-round pick, having shipped it to Chicago in last year’s Bryce Young trade, but now they have a second-round pick after making a good trade on Friday. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-paid-a-big-price-in-trade-with-panthers-to-move-up-13-spots-for-braden-fiske

      Panthers Select Chau Smith-Wade DB - Round 5, Pick 157

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think I’d like this guy outside, he doesn’t fit that in the NFL.  I think he needs to stick to nickel and ST to help the defense, he’d probably contribute. I think he’d be a liability outside. I like him okay though, looking forward to seeing him.  Actually that is probably how I feel about all the picks, I like them okay and am looking forward to seeing them. I feel like they were taken for a good reason; though I may not see it yet. One shouldn’t expect to go straight down the line hit every one, butI think we’ll hit on a couple of guys in this group. 4 would be great.

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette WR - Pick 32, Round 1

      i know, but to a degree to can still apply, imo. yes, the guy is a unicorn. crazy circumstances and situations i think kept him away from opportunity to prove themselves for a longer period of time. and in that he and cam are similar. cam took a couple years before he was put in a situation to show what he could do given then opportunity. same wit XL. different circumstances, for sure, but really they were drafted based on one one year of production where they looked dominant. does that mean he's going to be the cam newton of WRS? probably not.  one of the arguments against cam was that he had only one year of "real" production at a high level and those arguments were furthered by the lack of people who had transitioned into a legit starter after so little starting experience.  they were/are both unicorns.
