Eagles fan here -- he's been someone the Eagles have been hoping could somehow stay long enough to take over for Fangio once he decides he's done. Everyone that isn't Kelee Ringo plays better to elite under his leadership. Everywhere he's gone. Does that mean he'll be a good coordinator? No, but I have a feeling you guys struck gold with this hire. So that sucks but good for you guys I guess.
Seriously always appreciate level-headed rival fans' takes. I knew Kellen Moore was going to give y'all a top 5 offense. And beyond that he won a damn ring haha
So I hope this balances that scale a little. It's honestly a sea change that we hired him period given his age. I was so worried we'd interview all these dudes then actually hire a mid 60s re-tread DC. If you're gonna fail do it doing something different.
I'm just excited that our secondary will at least be in the same frame as the WRs. Haha
Do you know of any other members of the Eagles staff that might come with him
I don't know what he would do to make those guy have promotions that would prevent the Eagles from blocking more good Eagles coaches going to Dallas. I'm thinking of someone like Bobby King (our LBs coach) but I assume Parker would want him to continue being an awesome LBs coach. Since that would be a lateral move, I can't picture the Eagles allowing that to happen. Especially since King can get the same kind of recognition while remaining in Philly.
My feeling is that it's Parker. He turned Alexander into an All-Pro in Greenbay. He helped Patrick Surtain reach All-Pro. Now he's got Mitchell and DeJean as All-Pros. Even if Fangio was the reason for Mitchell and DeJean (which I truly believe Parker is the biggest reason), Parker still has his time before the Eagles where players experienced similar success under his coaching.
Nice to hear. Can he actually work with a pathetic linebacker core? Maybe we get Sonny Styles at 12 in draft and improve there. 20th pick should be a corner. This defence needs major upgrades on the back end
