Fuck jerk does he produce?

I saw this with Todd Bowles fired by Jets bought into Tampa Bay great defense won a super bowl.

I know they wont bring him in mid season. But next season for sure. Let me focus on defense. After Raheem Morris left we havent had that. Be good to get that spark back.

You see it in the NBA guys get fired as coaches they are back on staffs.

Im just saying this guy knows he defense. It would be perfect to have him on this staff with Mcvay.

Sean Desai is already on the Rams staff if they're looking to change things up.

Saleh was supposedly either going to fire Hackett or take play calling away from him and then he got fired instead...

Shula is actually doing a good job with what he has to work with. IMO. Cannot see him getting fired mid season. Probably not after the season unless he screws it up royally. Mcv knows the personnel limitations on D. They are not playing consistently well enough to win games on their own. But they are playing well enough if the offense can start scoring 24+.

I agree with this completely. This young defense sans Donald was always going to take some time to figure out and settle in. It's a shame Tre White has been so bad, probably nobody saw that coming.

I think Tre’s injury has robbed him of quickness and speed, taking away some of his athleticism. They rolled the dice and probably crapped out on this move. The Curl move looks meh currently, and the Jonah Jackson move looks like a bust unless and until he can get on and stay in the field. D Will should get better and better. The rest of the moves were JAG moves. Witherspoon is average.

They seemed to have made some hits in the draft though. So that’s good. And some UDFAs could pan out as well.

Need more great players. Probably ain’t getting them until the next draft.

You're probably right about White. But even his body language was terrible.

Curl is a guy who I think has got to get better as the season progresses. The reports on his athleticism and smarts are not things that just disappear for a young guy.

Jonah Jackson, I guess we'll see.

Witherspoon was certainly serviceable last year. If that makes him average among starting corners in the league, I'll take that.

I don't see any scenario where Salah takes a job this season. He's under contract with the Jets. Basically on a well paid vacation. No way a team pays him the same money as an assistant. He won't go back to work for less money when he's getting paid more to spend time with his family. JMO

I think the way it usually works is if he gets another job, that salary is deducted off what the Jets have to pay him. And most fired head coaches would rather screw the team that fired them, than coach somewhere else as an assistant and not make a dime more.

You probably are right. Russell Wilson is still getting paid by the Broncos and took a low salary from the Steelers.

I thought it might be different with coaches and players. It might be the way the contract is structured and if there's a buyout in it.

Either way Saleh is getting a nice paycheck for being on vacation from football. Hard to see him jumping back into work for a different team.

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was seen on camera yelling and gesturing toward a group of fans at the end of Sunday's 20-16 home win over the Cleveland Browns as boos rained down for parts of a game in which the offense sputtered at times and the talent-rich Eagles struggled to separate from the now 1-5 Browns.

Sirianni, wearing a wry smile and offering a wink, said he was "just excited to get the win" in explaining his interaction with the fans and praised the crowd for being loud and inducing a couple of Cleveland false-start penalties.

But when asked about the jeering the Eagles received in their home stadium, Sirianni acknowledged they could do without the negativity.

"We thrive off the crowd when they cheer for us. That's all I'll say," Sirianni said. "We hear them when they boo. We don't necessarily like it. I don't think that's productive for anybody. But when they cheer for us and when we've got them rolling, we love it."

Sirianni has been a subject of criticism following last season's collapse, when an Eagles team that started 10-1 skidded to a 1-6 finish, leading to the firing of his offensive and defensive coordinators.

The on-field product this season has left something to be desired.

The offense has been a point of frustration given the level of talent -- the group boasts one of the best offensive lines in football and features A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley at the skill positions -- versus the results to this point.

Since scoring 34 points in the opener against the Green Bay Packers, the Eagles have averaged 18 points in the four games since. Brown, though, has appeared in only two games because of injury, and other top players such as Smith and tackle Lane Johnson also have missed time.

Although not overwhelming, there were some sections of the crowd that started "Fire Nick" chants during a couple of down moments in the game.

And Sirianni was by far the most demonstrative he has been on the sideline this year. He jawed with multiple Browns defensive backs, including corner Greg Newsome II, and grew animated with referees on multiple occasions.

Before Sunday, he had toned down his behavior, cognizant that going after the refs in particular can send the wrong message to his players. Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie noted of Sirianni this offseason that "it can be a little bit counterproductive if he overdoes his own passion," adding that it is about finding the "sweet spot" between bringing that passion while not overdoing it.

Sirianni revealed Sunday that the return of his fiery demeanor was at the behest of some of his players.

"I was having fun. And I kind of got some feedback from the guys, the sense of like, 'We need you back, Nick. We need your energy. We need your focus,'" he said. "I've gotten that from a couple players. When I'm operating and having fun, I think that breeds to the rest of the football team. If I want the guys to celebrate and be themselves after big plays, then I should probably do that myself, right?

"Now there's times for that and times not for that. I have to have wisdom and discernment of when to do that and when not to do that."

Quarterback Jalen Hurts said he was one of the players who encouraged Sirianni to be himself.

"It's a reassurance of, we trust who you are. We trust where you are as a coach, and we know we can build with you. It's about doing it together," Hurts said. "I'm excited for him and his growth and continue to see where he's going, and I think it will continue to help our football team."


Lose to the Giants next week and........
