I'm an Eagles fan and I'd be depressed for the Eagles if he left, and wouldn't be surprised if they made him the highest paid non-coordinator in the NFL to keep him if it came to it. He's the best OL coach in the world, hands down, He takes diamonds in the rough and schools them up within weeks.

His players say his meetings are the toughest they've ever had, he'll just randomly shout out questions at them in the middle of other stuff and make sure they know their assignments and adjustments. They're SUPER well prepared. They all have great technique and get the absolute maximum out of their talent.

He'd be cranking out first line draft picks on the OL at Cuse within 3 years. He's also been the run game coordinator for the Eagles and their run game has been excellent.

As to whether he can succeed as a head coach and run an offense? I have no idea. It's not like he can be the OL coach himself if he's the head coach, although he could make sure those guys get coached up and help out with it.

Other than a stint as interim head coach at Miami, he hasn't been an offensive coordinator since 1992. He's a Northeast guy, born on Staten Island, went to Southern Connecticut, and his first few stops in coaching were Southern Connecticut, Syracuse, and Cornell.

On the other hand he's 61, and I'd be somewhat surprised if he was actually in the mix. I would be pretty surprised if he were able to navigate the NIL landscape. He hasn't even had to think about anything other than evaluating talent and teaching technique in a long, long time. I highly doubt he'd leave in the middle of the season, too, so you're talking about waiting a while.
