So they hired Will Lawing (former Pats TE coach) as OC and Tim Lewis (yes that Tim Lewis from ‘05) as DC.

Lawing- most recently with Pats last year as TE coach and was an analyst at Alabama the year before with BOB.  He has one other year as a GA in college at Penn st in 2013 and then left for the Texans with O’Brien.   Lawing has never been a position coach in college and has never been a coordinator at any level.  Looks like a shaky hire on paper but I guess they at least have O’Brien to call plays and run an offense if needed.  Otherwise this screams Brian Pariani all over.

Not to be outdone by:

Lewis-  62 years old. Spent the last 8 years bouncing between USFL, UFL, and AFA (most recently the Arlington Renegades Co-DC.  His last big job was secondary coach of 49ers in 2015.  His largest roles were Steelers and Giants DC in early 2000’s.  After leaving the Giants he was a finalist for our head coaching position that ultimately went to Greg Robinson.  His last college experience was in ‘93-94 year at Pitt.   There is really no way even the Eagles fans can spin this one after thinking they would get some bigtime DC.   Now they are pretty much just saying they had no other options because of the timing so grabbed Lewis as 1 year stop gap.

Hope their position coaches can recruit because they appear to be taking an interesting approach.  Maybe O’Brien emptied the bank and they had nothing left…
