Doug chose to be fired in Philly instead of replacing his underwhelming OC Press Taylor. He’s gonna die on this hill here too. This is Doug’s all or nothing gamble.

Our GM isn’t going anywhere either. Shad doesn’t understand football operations, he doesn’t want to understand. Trent and Doug are a package deal and only way 1 goes is if the other goes. Likely next year if Doug just doubles down on keeping the same offense/OC and the jags finish with anything less than 9 wins.

On the other hand, maybe a new DC/defensive staff can breathe some life into this defense and the ineptitude of the offense won’t be so debilitating?

Press Taylor was never the OC in Philly and Doug wasn't fired for refusing to fire him. I wish you people would forget that stupid false narrative, it clouds your judgement and understanding of the circumstances here.

You’re right, he was never the OC. He was promoted every year until, in early 2021 Doug said he wanted Press as his OC following Groh’s firing, and Philly’s owner basically said no, we need external candidates as the offense has not performed well enough to promote from within. At this point Doug essentially said Press is OC or I’m not HC and they agreed to part ways. 

The circumstance is that Doug wants complete control, for better or worse. He likely stays so close to Press because of their working relationship and he is seeking that same level of working relationship he had with Reich during the Eagles SB. for better or worse he believes Press is the only OC he can be successful with, and has held that stance on 2 different teams now.
