Eagles Continue To Struggle: Possible New Coaches

Philly fans are definitely angry with the Eagles woes

Philadelphia. The city of brotherly love has become the city of unhappy Eagles fans. The Eagles now sit at 3-8, and are in last place in the NFC East division. It truly is a troubling situation in Philadelphia to say the least. Head coach Andy Reid has been on the hot seat for as long as I can remember, and without some sort of miracle he is as good as gone. The Eagles have been looking to improve after last year's so called "Dream Team" underachieved to an 8-8 record. The Eagles haven't done anything except lose this season. The only success this team has had was beating the Browns to open the year, and somehow beating the Ravens in a very close game, and pulling out a win over the Giants at home.


Now the Eagles are without Michael Vick, who suffered a concussion, and they lost LeSean McCoy to the same injury. Many people have been pinning the losses on quarterback Michael Vick, so the fans finally got a taste of what Nick Foles could do as the starter for this team, and that is absolutely nothing. Foles has committed six turnovers in only three games so far this year. He can't save this team. This week the Eagles lost DeSean Jackson for the rest of the year with broken ribs and released an under performing Jason Babin. This team is in need of some sort of a miracle. The Eagles are going to be looking for a new coach, and here are possible fits for this team:

Tony Dungy

Bill Cowher

Jon Gruden

Chip Kelly

Let's start out by saying Jon Gruden is crap. Don't hire him. Don't. You think Reid is bad, this guy won't do a thing. Chip Kelly is a great coach at the university of Oregon, coaching the Ducks to a National Championship Game appearance two years ago against Cam Newton and Auburn. He lost the game, but he burst onto the scene as a good coach. He is great in college football, but I can see him being a Nick Saban type. Saban has won three National Championships, two with Alabama, and one with LSU. That being said, Saban was a career 15-17 in his head coaching stint in the NFL. He isn't fit for the NFL, and neither is Kelly.

Every Eagles fan right about now

That leaves us with two men who could possibly turn this team around. Bill Cowher, and Tony Dungy. Dungy is 139-69 as a head coach in the NFL. He turned around an awful Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, and with Peyton Manning he took the Colts to the Super Bowl in 2006 and won the game over the Chicago Bears. He will bring in the culture change that the Eagles need, and maybe he can work a little magic. This man is known to be able  to do so. The only thing is, I feel that it is highly unlikely for him to leave broadcasting to coach this team. I don't blame him.

Bill Cowher would bring everything that Dungy would bring, but he would do something that Andy Reid just doesn't seem to want to do. RUN THE BALL! LeSean McCoy is an amazing back. When the Eagles give him the ball, they win. So why wouldn't you give him the ball? Sounds easy to me. Plus Cowher would make this team play defense, which they also don't do. Cowher and Dungy would bring in a new attitude, but I think Cowher is a possibility for this team, and if they land him, it could be huge in Philadelphia.

Why do they not give him the ball at least 25 times a game? Unreal.
