Speaker 1: to Eagles three sixty Eagles and Sider Dave SPIDERO Chris McPherson,
Speaker 1: and we know that the Eagles are meeting with coaching
Speaker 1: candidates Jeffrey Lourie Howie Rose McDonald Smolinsky. We are not
Speaker 1: part of it. We are watching, we are wondering, We
Speaker 1: are asking the same questions that you are. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: we've compiled some information on the candidates to break them down,
Speaker 1: give you an apples to apples comparison of all of
Speaker 1: the men. So let's start with dol Schremer, right, who
Speaker 1: coached the Eagles in the final game of the regular
Speaker 1: season against the New York Giants and the Eagles win
Speaker 1: that game. Schrmer's been there, He's done that. Chris, he
Speaker 1: seems on the surface and what we know of him
Speaker 1: to be a very strong candidate, very very strong candid.
Speaker 1: I think he offers the best of both worlds in
Speaker 1: the terms that he has head coaching experience from his
Speaker 1: time with the Cleveland Browns. He came up through the
Speaker 1: Eagles organizations, had two different stints as an assistant coach,
Speaker 1: and he's also learned the last couple of seasons from
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly, and I think he can combine some of
Speaker 1: the elements he's learned in the past and also some
Speaker 1: of what's worked when it comes to Chip Kelly. So
Speaker 1: if you're looking for stability, I think he's the closest
Speaker 1: who could provide it to kind of carry over what's
Speaker 1: happened the last couple of years, take the good from that,
Speaker 1: but kind of changed it and put his own little
Speaker 1: spin on it, mold it into his own. So from
Speaker 1: that standpoint, that's why I like Pat Schermer as a
Speaker 1: potential higher here for the Philadephia. You know the thing
Speaker 1: that Pat Schermer has done. He's come from the West
Speaker 1: Coast tree, the Andy Reid coaching tree, and he understands
Speaker 1: that offensive scheme, and he also learned a new way
Speaker 1: of doing things. And obviously what Chip did for the
Speaker 1: first couple of seasons here ten wins in both two
Speaker 1: thousand and thirteen and two and fourteen. You take some
Speaker 1: of that good with some of the things that happened
Speaker 1: last year. And Pat Shermer is candidate number one, and
Speaker 1: he's been there. Of the candidates, he's got two years
Speaker 1: of coaching experience, knows the Philadelphia market, knows the Philadelphia media,
Speaker 1: and knows this existing organization and the roster as well.
Speaker 1: So that is Pat Schremer the candidate internally who's got
Speaker 1: some head coaching experience. Another internal candidate running backs coach coach,
Speaker 1: deduced Staley has worked his way up the coaching ranks.
Speaker 1: Obviously a great player in Philadelphia, and Duce Staley knows
Speaker 1: the way it works with a player and the mindset
Speaker 1: of a player. And that's the advantage that Staley has
Speaker 1: obviously playing in Philadelphia, being a great running back here.
Speaker 1: Still a little young in his progression as a coach,
Speaker 1: but a valuable experience for Deuce. Interviewing for head coaching
Speaker 1: job Chris, and whether he gets his job or not,
Speaker 1: positions himself for some upward mobility, no question. I just
Speaker 1: love to hear dues coming from all the fans will
Speaker 1: come to Staley here at the Novercare Complex or at
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field if he were to get the job.
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned, Dave, he has the playing experience
Speaker 1: and he's done well developing the guys on the roster,
Speaker 1: especially at the running back position. Over the last couple
Speaker 1: of seasons, we've seen the successful Lashawn McCoy has had
Speaker 1: during his tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles. So from that
Speaker 1: same point, he has the playing experience, he knows how
Speaker 1: to relate to players, he knows how to develop them,
Speaker 1: and look back in nineteen nine nine, Andy Reid was
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks coach, didn't have any coordinator experience. Well, Duce
Speaker 1: Daley is in that same position. He is a young,
Speaker 1: up and coming candidate. Is a time now we'll see,
Speaker 1: but definitely, like you said, if he's positioned himself nicely
Speaker 1: for the future here one way or the other. Candidate
Speaker 1: number three with us here and these are in no
Speaker 1: particular order, Doug Peterson. Now, the Eagles went out to
Speaker 1: Kansas City and interviewed Peterson after the Chiefs defeat of
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans on Saturday in that Wild Card game.
Speaker 1: Peterson the offensive coordinator underhead coach Andy Reid. In Kansas City.
Speaker 1: We know Peterson as the quarterback who helped pave the
Speaker 1: way for Donovan McNabb, the lane duck QB if you will.
Speaker 1: Peterson came to the Eagles in nineteen ninety nine with
Speaker 1: read to teach the Eagles the West Coast offense. It
Speaker 1: took a beating, but he did his job and then
Speaker 1: joined a coaching staff here has worked his way up.
Speaker 1: Chris very highly regarded around the league, has called some
Speaker 1: plays or least shared some of the duties with Andy
Speaker 1: Reid out in Kansas City. Calling the plays nosy West
Speaker 1: coach offense, doesn't have a ton of coaching experience. But
Speaker 1: for anyone who's mad, I mean we have. We see
Speaker 1: a rising star in Doug Peterson, a dynamic personality, no
Speaker 1: question about it. And again, like you said, Dave looked
Speaker 1: like with Staley, has the playing experience, has been the
Speaker 1: leader of teams, has been the quarterback here in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: so he understands the market. And it's not just the
Speaker 1: West Coast principles. He's learned some different elements of different
Speaker 1: spread offenses the pistol during his time in Kansas City
Speaker 1: has adapted those and look, you look at this Chiefs offense.
Speaker 1: Alex Smith has developed into a nice quarterback. He doesn't
Speaker 1: turn the ball over very much. This is a run
Speaker 1: game that has continued to be productive even though they
Speaker 1: lost Jamal Charles midway through this season. And if you
Speaker 1: look at the numbers prior to his arrival in Kansas
Speaker 1: City and what the Chiefs have done in the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, Peterson has has put his stamp on
Speaker 1: this chief success and that's why they're playing in the
Speaker 1: Divisional round of the postseason. And so the Eagles confirming
Speaker 1: that they interviewed Peterson on Sunday. Now, obviously Peters and
Speaker 1: cannot come to terms with any team until after the
Speaker 1: Chiefs are finished in the playoffs. The Chiefs play at
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots on Saturday in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The
Speaker 1: next candidate, Ben McAdoo, offensive coordinator from the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: An innovative offensive mind. A former quarterbacks coaching green Fay
Speaker 1: worked very well with Aaron Rodgers there, has done some
Speaker 1: great things for Eli Manning the last couple of seasons
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants. The Eagles interviewed him last week.
Speaker 1: An intriguing name from the team up north. Chris, we
Speaker 1: don't know a whole lot about McAdoo other than what
Speaker 1: he looks a lot like him. He sounds a lot
Speaker 1: like him. So seems like it's a mini Andy Reid here.
Speaker 1: Possibly you look at the progression. Obviously Andy wasn't a coordinator,
Speaker 1: but still very similar in terms of his development in
Speaker 1: terms of the coaching ladder. But he's worked with some
Speaker 1: dynamic quarterbacks. You mentioned Rogers, you mentioned Manning, but look
Speaker 1: at the numbers and the success that they had working
Speaker 1: with macadoo, and that's something that you need in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You look at eight teams they're still in postseason contention,
Speaker 1: and they all have outstanding quarterbacks. The Eagles need to
Speaker 1: find out who their quarterback is going to be in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. With Sam Bradford said, to become a free
Speaker 1: agent and you want a guy who can be able
Speaker 1: to mold and develop that playmaker at that position. So certainly,
Speaker 1: when you look at the most important position in the game,
Speaker 1: if you can have someone like a Ben McAdoo who
Speaker 1: knows how to cultivate great quarterback play, that's definitely an
Speaker 1: asset to have. Yeah, in his late thirties, has already
Speaker 1: been with four teams in the league coaching in the
Speaker 1: NFL since two thousand and four. So despite the relatively
Speaker 1: young age by NFL head coaching standards, Ben McAdoo has
Speaker 1: a lot of experience understanding the league and someday will
Speaker 1: be a head coach. Could be in twenty sixteen with
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles now the Eagles. On Monday confirming their
Speaker 1: interview and intriguing one with former New York Giants head
Speaker 1: coach Tom Coughlin. Cofflin for twelve years, the head coach
Speaker 1: of the New York Giants two Super Bowl victories. He's
Speaker 1: won three in his nineteen years in the NFL working
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville. Working with the Giants started way back in
Speaker 1: the mid eighties with the Philadelphia Eagles as a wide
Speaker 1: receivers coach, and I mean at age sixty nine, it
Speaker 1: will be seventy when the season starts. Tom Coughlin brings
Speaker 1: instant credibility, instant respect, a lot of energy. If you
Speaker 1: want to restore order to an organization and set some
Speaker 1: discipline in place, Tom Cofflin could be the guy certainly
Speaker 1: brings a lot of attention to Philadelphia should this happen.
Speaker 1: Trist Tom Cofflin a name that kind of came into
Speaker 1: unto the forefront late last week, catching a lot of
Speaker 1: people by surprise. It makes a lot of sense when
Speaker 1: you understand the entire coaching field out there. Nobody has
Speaker 1: the resume of Tom Cofflin, no question about you. Look
Speaker 1: at the spectrum here of the coaching candidates, and you
Speaker 1: have the young and up and comers like Douce Daley,
Speaker 1: like Ben McAdoo. You have coach like Patch Shermer, who
Speaker 1: has been a head coach in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: and then you have the experience the veteran leadership the
Speaker 1: sea with a resume. Tom Coughlin, who is the winning
Speaker 1: his head coach in Jacksville Jaguar's history, was the first
Speaker 1: ever head coach of that franchise, and in the last
Speaker 1: twelve seasons, we've seen what he's done with the New
Speaker 1: York Giants, taking them to two Super Bowls. So he
Speaker 1: can thrive in a tough media market. He'll be able
Speaker 1: to handle Philadelphia. Like you said, Dave, he has had
Speaker 1: success here. He's been a coach here in Philadelphis who
Speaker 1: understands being here. I just think, like you said, if
Speaker 1: you're trying to instantly change the culture. You've talked about
Speaker 1: emotional intelligence, something that Jeffrey Leurier said during his press
Speaker 1: conference a week ago. That's something that Tom Coughlin will
Speaker 1: bring to the table with his ability to relate to
Speaker 1: his players. You've seen all the moving tributes from them
Speaker 1: from the time that he announced his resignation. No question
Speaker 1: that he left a lasting impact on that franchise. The
Speaker 1: question is with Coughlin, a how long would he want
Speaker 1: to be the head coach at age seventy when the
Speaker 1: two and sixteen season begins, and then what happened to
Speaker 1: the Giants in recent seasons. They won the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: in two eleven, but this has been a team that
Speaker 1: has really struggled in the last several seasons. They really
Speaker 1: did not put much of a great product on the
Speaker 1: field in two and fifteen. A lack of personnel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that had a lot to do with it. Injuries, no
Speaker 1: question about it. The defensive side of the ball for
Speaker 1: the Giants could not keep pace with the prolific offense.
Speaker 1: So Tom Coughlin the latest candidate the Eagles have interviewed six.
Speaker 1: There is nothing scheduled as far as we know in
Speaker 1: the future. The NFL owners meetings this week in Houston.
Speaker 1: So we're either hitting the pause button, Chris, or maybe
Speaker 1: the Eagles have something going that they want to get
Speaker 1: done very quickly. There's a wait and see approach. Everyone's
Speaker 1: verying tree to find out what's going to happen here.
Speaker 1: Is there something beyond Monday's interview with Coughlin, or is
Speaker 1: it maybe there'll be one of these six guys Adam
Speaker 1: Gase in Miami. Five candidates so far that the Eagles
Speaker 1: have interviewed. Who remained candidates for this job in twenty
Speaker 1: and sixteen So that is our look at the coaching
Speaker 1: candidates to date for the Eagles vacant head coaching job.
Speaker 1: This is Eagles three sixty. When we return, we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about one of the Eagles young rising stars
Speaker 1: and wide receiver, Jordan Matthews. Capping off a fine sophomore campaign.
Speaker 1: He visits the studio to talk about twenty fifteen and beyond.
Speaker 1: He wants a taste of the NFL playoffs, experience the
Speaker 1: power of physical therapy and Novocare rehabilitation. We know the
Speaker 1: importance of an active lifestyle. If you're currently injured, let
Speaker 1: us bring that active lifestyle back to you. Novacare is

Speaker 1: a Metro ticket? Talk to me, please, I don't even
Speaker 1: know these real tickets. If you know, just a touch
Speaker 1: it this leather legit. I mean, how do we really know?
Speaker 1: It looks good? Right? No, I'm paying myself. I gotta
Speaker 1: make a prop. Does the baby need a Metro ticket?
Speaker 1: I'll give her one on me. These tickets. They're not

Speaker 1: wants to buy tickets from a guy on the street.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. It has been a highly productive two
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL for the man to my left.
Speaker 1: We welcome you into our Extinity studio at the Novercare Complex.
Speaker 1: I'm Eagles insider Dave Spidero along with wide receiver Jordan Matthews,
Speaker 1: who is now Jordan. You're an NFL veteran? Now true?
Speaker 1: How does it feel? How's the body feel after season?
Speaker 1: I always wanted to understand that from a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: you run so much, you get hit so much. How
Speaker 1: do you feel the day after season? Surprisingly, actually I
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. I mean I dealt with some energies
Speaker 1: kind of in between the season, but e finishing off,
Speaker 1: I actually feel pretty pretty good. I'm excited about all
Speaker 1: season training. I'm gonna take a couple couple of weeks
Speaker 1: off just really get the body completely back. But then
Speaker 1: I think i'll be abready hit training completely healthy one dcent,
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that. Do you just literally lay
Speaker 1: around for a couple of weeks and just stay away
Speaker 1: from everything? Um, you know, you definitely want to go
Speaker 1: see get to see some people, maybe hang out with
Speaker 1: some family members or some friends that you never get
Speaker 1: to spend time around. Uh, you know, travel a little bit,
Speaker 1: but the main thing is you definitely want to rest.
Speaker 1: I think sometimes I'm so round bunks because I'd like
Speaker 1: to do a lot of things that I look up
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, I've i even rested. I've been
Speaker 1: flying everywhere. I've been doing things most of the day.
Speaker 1: So just actually trying to find a week or two
Speaker 1: just to actually sit back, chill, maybe go find somewhere
Speaker 1: to vacation app actually just kind of kick back and
Speaker 1: actually relaxed. Jordan, how would you kind of describe your
Speaker 1: first two seasons from an individual standpoint and other teams first,
Speaker 1: but from an individual standpoint, Um, I would say for me,
Speaker 1: I think, um, just stuff to build on is definitely motivation.
Speaker 1: I think I've left some meat on the bone. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, personally, I know that, you know, I could
Speaker 1: play better, and I think that, you know, when when
Speaker 1: people come to me with some of the numbers, may
Speaker 1: show me kind of what I've been able to accomplish,
Speaker 1: you know, with helping some of my teammates over the
Speaker 1: first two seasons. It actually just makes me that much
Speaker 1: hunger because I'm just like, man, like, this is what
Speaker 1: I've been able to do, and I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: not even close to my best then, you know, I
Speaker 1: feel like this guy's limit. Um. You know, I think
Speaker 1: a lot of my family members that called me, they
Speaker 1: were wondering if I would up said that didn't get
Speaker 1: to be a thousand yard mark. But I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's actually very fitting. I think, um,
Speaker 1: it's the perfect you know things to show that hey,
Speaker 1: you're not there yet, you can't You're still come up
Speaker 1: a little bit short. So that might be that extra
Speaker 1: value and that may be the extra rep that you do,
Speaker 1: you know, as far as work, and that may be
Speaker 1: the extra you know. A couple of minute she put
Speaker 1: on the judgment see and just really becoming the complete
Speaker 1: wide receiver I can be so, like I said, for me,
Speaker 1: I like the sky's modmit. I'm really excited about myself
Speaker 1: and this team moving forward. Does the game continue to
Speaker 1: slow down for you? I know it does to one degree,
Speaker 1: but does it continue as you go along? Yes? Definitely? Um.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I remember my first year. My
Speaker 1: stance would sometimes to be so tense. Can I be
Speaker 1: worried about so many things? I mean half the time
Speaker 1: I can actually see the check that Kelsey and Sam
Speaker 1: were gonna make before they even make it, So I'm
Speaker 1: already like, okay, well this cover is coming. Already know
Speaker 1: I'm getting the bar here, so I need to be ready.
Speaker 1: I need to give a good a good move, I
Speaker 1: think us. So it's crazy because sometimes you gotta wait
Speaker 1: to like the end of the season or midway through
Speaker 1: season and see some of these things started coming into fruition.
Speaker 1: But I mean even in the Dallas game, you know,
Speaker 1: we were able to hull up before that last call,
Speaker 1: and Sam was just like, hey do this, do this.
Speaker 1: If this guy gets this leverage, hit him with this move.
Speaker 1: He just does, and I'm like, okay, Well, once he
Speaker 1: lined up, I was an old game over. Already know
Speaker 1: it's coming. Just your rookie year, you just thinking about
Speaker 1: so many things. You rush things, you try too hard,
Speaker 1: be pressed. Now I really feel like I let the
Speaker 1: game come to me. Don't get me down by making mistake.
Speaker 1: I don't do all on it. I already know that
Speaker 1: that opportunity is going to come back. So it was
Speaker 1: just it's really excited for me moving into year three.
Speaker 1: We have obviously a lot of change coming for the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. You are going to be impacted greatly by it,
Speaker 1: not only quarterback coach. We don't know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about everything kind of heading into
Speaker 1: this thing? You know, at the same time, it's hard
Speaker 1: to sometimes say like all the time you're excited, because
Speaker 1: then that might be some people maybe possibly losing jobs.
Speaker 1: That could be term a hole for other people. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm in a position where, you know, as a second
Speaker 1: round pick, you know, I've had a pretty good first
Speaker 1: two years that you know, maybe have a little bit
Speaker 1: more stability. But definitely I'm interested to see what's going
Speaker 1: to happen as far as the coach, as far as
Speaker 1: Sam you know, moving forward, Like I said, I've talked
Speaker 1: about one Sam back. You know, I'm definitely interested to
Speaker 1: see he's going to be our new coach. I hadn't
Speaker 1: definite but respect for coach Killing what he was able
Speaker 1: to do for this program and to do for me.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, I think the
Speaker 1: thing that I'm the most you know, if I would
Speaker 1: be excited about anything, is just I feel like that
Speaker 1: competitive spirit is going to get litt you can get
Speaker 1: inside of everybody. Nobody can look at this off season like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can rest, I know my coach is gonna be
Speaker 1: I can relax. It's a fresh leave for everybody, so
Speaker 1: people have to have their hard head on. I know
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a job interview and they come back.
Speaker 1: Jordan last one. I know you're super competitive. It's all
Speaker 1: about the team and you haven't experienced the thrill of
Speaker 1: the playoffs yet. I've gotta be that taste is there
Speaker 1: in you right, It definitely is like it's still weirs met.
Speaker 1: The season's over. You know, if you're a rookie year,
Speaker 1: there's nothing you've done so much. You finish college, you
Speaker 1: went straight to training, you went straight to combine, you
Speaker 1: went straight to senior ball, you come to commnicamp and
Speaker 1: you never stop, so by the time the season is
Speaker 1: you feel like you've been through the playoffs. At the time,
Speaker 1: especially if you have a productive rookie season, you're just like, man,
Speaker 1: you know, like if I get to breathe. But when
Speaker 1: it's over, as a veteran second year player, you're like, no,
Speaker 1: we gotta keep playing ball. We gotta win games. I mean,
Speaker 1: that Redskins game really hurt. You really hurt. And then
Speaker 1: also being in my second year, you start to actually
Speaker 1: understand more of what the Philly Devin eats mean to
Speaker 1: the city. You're not stuck in your own bubble like
Speaker 1: I'm really You're starting to figure out. Man, this team,
Speaker 1: you know, means a lot of this city. These people
Speaker 1: love the Eagles, So we got to start putting a
Speaker 1: brand of football out there on the field that this
Speaker 1: city can be proud of. Because if we do that,
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we're gonna stoppable. When we
Speaker 1: bring people to the Link, I mean, that place would
Speaker 1: be rocking. It was rocking versus Redskins game. We should
Speaker 1: have gotten done. We weren't able to. I tell you what,
Speaker 1: going forward, I feel like the playoffs that has to
Speaker 1: be something that's got to be a normality. That's the
Speaker 1: second home, you know us. But it's going to start
Speaker 1: with the guys you know on the field making plays,
Speaker 1: you know, being focused, understand like this has to be
Speaker 1: you know this is they need have to be. The
Speaker 1: ghost is the standard, the standards making the playoffs, but
Speaker 1: I mean tide has carry into the offseason training too.
Speaker 1: If they were all like you, we'd be there. Man,
Speaker 1: have a great to get there. Jordan Matthews, thanks so

Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. Dave Spennarow Chris McPherson here on this
Speaker 1: Monday from the Novacare Complex, our ex Affinity studio. You
Speaker 1: know Chris, we have been talking about the quarterback. We've
Speaker 1: been talking about it for years and years here really
Speaker 1: since Donovan McNabb. Eagles haven't won a playoff game since
Speaker 1: McNabb was the quarterback in two thousand and eight. So
Speaker 1: you want stability at the position. We see in the
Speaker 1: playoffs this weekend that generally the best quarterback wins the game.
Speaker 1: The slop that Brian Horyer was for the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: And it brings you back to the Sam Bradford question.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Bradford and all this coaching talk and
Speaker 1: how this impacts Bradford and his future in Philadelphia. No
Speaker 1: question that everyone's wondering what's gonna happen at the quarterback
Speaker 1: position for the Eagles. Now. When it comes to Sam Bradford,
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that was enticing for
Speaker 1: him to possibly stay in Philadelphia beyond twenty fifteen was
Speaker 1: the potential of stability. Now, Pat Shermer and Douce Staley
Speaker 1: might offer the best chance of that, but even still,
Speaker 1: if either one of those guys gets a head coaching job,
Speaker 1: they're going to add some tweaks and play around with
Speaker 1: the offense and bring something new to the table in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, So how different will it be from what
Speaker 1: Bradford learned in twenty fifteen, learning the Eagle's offense and
Speaker 1: the scheme for the first time. Now he's going to
Speaker 1: hit the open market and he'll be one of the
Speaker 1: highest prize commodities. So the Eagles have to debate whether
Speaker 1: or not they want to attach themselves to him for
Speaker 1: the long term because it's gonna be costly. Bradford proved
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season that he can
Speaker 1: be a very good quarterback. He developed as the course
Speaker 1: of the season went on, and most importantly, he answered
Speaker 1: a question of whether or not he could stay healthy.
Speaker 1: Now he did play, he missed two games due to injury,
Speaker 1: but still he came out relatively healthy from the twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen campaign. And I think that's the biggest question for
Speaker 1: the Eals moving forward, is the price tech factor, what's
Speaker 1: the new scheme gonna be, Whomever is a head coach
Speaker 1: and is Bradford the right guy, whether it's short term
Speaker 1: or long term, Because all you said day, if you
Speaker 1: want to find the guy who's going to go long
Speaker 1: term here beyond twenty sixteen, do we know if Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford's gonna be that guy. We don't at this point.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of factors that's going to
Speaker 1: weigh into determining what the deals do at the position. Well,
Speaker 1: the Eagles could franchise him, which would cost in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood of nineteen to twenty million dollars. Certainly the new
Speaker 1: head coach will have a huge stay in Sam Bradford's
Speaker 1: future with Philadelphia. And then there's the idea of the draft.
Speaker 1: The Eagles have the thirteenth pick in the first round.
Speaker 1: There are some candidates in the draft, young quarterbacks who
Speaker 1: you look at late first round, middle first round into
Speaker 1: the second around me even the third round or any
Speaker 1: of those candidates franchise type quarterbacks. And that's what the
Speaker 1: Eagles want ultimately here to get a long term coach
Speaker 1: and a long term quarterback and get some of the
Speaker 1: stability that has been missing with this franchise since the
Speaker 1: days of Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb. Now on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, Jordan Hicks, rookie linebacker, had
Speaker 1: a fantastic first half of two thousand and fifteen before
Speaker 1: tearing his pectrol muscle in the Dallas game. He went
Speaker 1: to the sidelines lost for the season. But the good
Speaker 1: news is that Hicks, after that very very up and
Speaker 1: down rookie season, understands what's ahead and he sees bright
Speaker 1: things in his Eagles future. You know. Being able to
Speaker 1: make a big play, step up for the team, make
Speaker 1: a big play was huge, you know, huge for me,
Speaker 1: Huge for confidence, huge for you know, earning the respect
Speaker 1: of the league, of the team of you know, my
Speaker 1: position group. And then yeah, to to really have that
Speaker 1: defining moment where I get hurt and in that last drive,
Speaker 1: you know it really it really has been a maturing,
Speaker 1: a maturing process, you know, looking back and just kind
Speaker 1: of taking it all in and understanding, you know, what
Speaker 1: I've accomplished, what I need to work on moving forward.
Speaker 1: Certainly an impressive young man, Jordan Hicks, one of the
Speaker 1: big pieces of this Eagles defensive future. We are back
Speaker 1: with Eagles three sixty next Monday. Of course, unless the
Speaker 1: Eagles make a coaching move between now and then, and
Speaker 1: if they do, we will have you covered from the
Speaker 1: very instant it is announced through that live press conference
Speaker 1: of whoever the head coach. Maybe do you think it
Speaker 1: happens this week? I think the Eagles have a good
Speaker 1: sense of where they want to go with it. It's
Speaker 1: a matter now you mentioned the owner's meetings are taking
Speaker 1: place this week, so obviously would not be until later
Speaker 1: on in the week. But I feel like going through
Speaker 1: this search in twenty thirteen and interviewing the cans they
Speaker 1: have to this point, they must have a good sense
Speaker 1: of what they want. Is just making that final decision.
Speaker 1: So that's a that's a non answer from Chris McPherson.
Speaker 1: That is what we are trained to do. For Chris McPherson.
Speaker 1: I'm Dave Spiderow. We thank you for joining us on
Speaker 1: Eagles three sixty. Have yourselves a great Eagles Day.
