Jim Schwartz officially announced as defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles

Quote:I was thinking of all those idiots who assumed Gus Bradley will be fired after Shad Khan said he is safe.

...but that has nothing to do with being a lame duck. Seriously, Google. A "lame duck" coach is one who is in the final year of his contract and hasn't had his contract extended. The hope that a coach will be fired has nothing to do with it. Unless and until Gus gets an extension, his picture might as well be listed on Wikipedia's page for "lame duck", and it is entirely possible that Schwartz didn't want to be associated with a coaching staff that's liable to be terminated en masse when Gus' contract expires at the end of the 2016 season.

Quote:What about Jason Garrett in Dallas, underneath Wade Phillips? His contract was written like that of a head coach, but I don't recall if he was actually paid head coach money from the start.

 

   Good recall.   Both were paid in the $ 3 million per season range starting with the 2008 season:

   For some reason,  Dallas was coming to mind for me as the most likely possibility to the question that was asked.   But the Dave Campo HC era was jumping out more so on this end.

    Gus Bradley can only hope that his outcome turns out as well in the end of the 2016 season as Chuck Pagano's outcome did at the end of the 2015 season.

Pagano only managed that outcome because Grigson spiked Irsay's coke with GHB, leaving Irsay highly suggestible.

Again, no one's answered the question - what's the big loss?

We lose someone who we know can run a successful defense.

We do?  His resume on defense is questionable.  Answer the question if you can.

Two years.  Neither sustainable.  Not saying he's "bad," I just see a hype that doesn't match the performance.

Oh please. Who would you rather hire?

Quote:Pagano only managed that outcome because Grigson spiked Irsay's coke with GHB, leaving Irsay highly suggestible.

So he got an additional dose to the one he put in there himself before extending Grigson?

Can't answer the question, I see.  Keep up, the topic is Schwartz.

Check the chart in the link.

 

Some good, some not so good.

Certainly no "can't miss."

Just trying to keep it objective, even if some can't.

More like he scored a two-fer.
