Eagles Promote Patch, Add Rick Mueller To Front Office

PrintThe Eagles have filled out their front office staff in the wake of Ryan Grigson's departure to the Colts and have done with a mix of internal promotions and outside hires.
33 year old Anthony Patch has been promoted to Director of College Scouting. He's spent the last 10 years in the teams' college scouting department and was most recently Ryan Grigson's assistant. So he would seem to be a natural candidate to be promoted.
The team did go outside the organization to fill their Player Personnel Exec job with Rick Mueller, who has 15 years of NFL experience. He's worked in pro personnel and college scouting for both the Saints and Jaguars organizations. He's helped put together six playoff teams, three of which have advanced to the conference title game. He left the Saints in 2008 to become an executive in the UFL.
"We are very pleased to promote Anthony and add Rick to our scouting staff," said Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman. "Anthony has been one of our top talent evaluators during his tenure as a college scout, has great relationships throughout football and is an extremely hard worker. Rick brings a wealth of NFL experience while giving us a new and fresh set of eyes to evaluate incoming talent. They will both play a role in helping us prepare for this offseason of free agency and the draft."

When I first read the title...
I thought of Patch Adams…
I think everyone should be bilateral coordinated.
I really like the Mueller hiring.
I don’t know how much say he had with the Saints organization, but I do know they’ve done a great job picking out talent there in recent years. Just the other day I actually pointed out on a recent post how good their 2006 draft was with Reggie Bush, Jahri Evans, Marques Colston, and Roman Harper.
It’s an especially good move because it’s an outside set of eyes to help bring a different perspective.

Im really glad they brought somebody from the outside in. Brings something new to the table and hopefully gives a different perspective to guys making the final choice.

Well to be fair, he was worked in pro personnel for the Saints.

Oh ok
I stand corrected. I thought he worked more in the college scouting side of it.
I was under that impression because of the tweets made be Dave Spadaro about the players that Mueller was a part of drafting. (Posted below by immy)
The Eagles own release said he was a vice president of player personnel from 2006-08 and director of player personnel from 2000-2006 for the Saints. Usually those guys deal more with the pro side. Although I suppose he probably had his hand in both.
He was director of college scouting for the Jags

So presumably he was one of the main people behind the Drew Brees signing? If so, I trust him completely when it comes to QBs.
I'll give you a cookie if you know what my pic is from.

Again, he worked in pro personnel for the Saints. Did some of both for the Jags.

Andy will probably still have final say...
Draft day preview..
Mueller: Andy this Kuechly kid is still on the board, lets go for him !
Andy: Yeah but I really like this DE/LB from “insert school you’ve never heard of”—he has a really high motor and is 30 lbs lighter than what either position calls for.
Mueller: Leaves war room shaking his head, dejected.
Not really many good examples of the Eagles drafting guys like that.
Maybe tweeners, but hardly guys from schools you’ve never heard of.

Y'all are missing the biggest point
He’s a “hard worker” !!!! Yay ! Like Sean and Juan ! I here I was worried that we were going to add a lazy sloth….I am going to sleep well tonight I tell ya’ !
I bet his girlfriend has a “good personality” too

Great.
A “high motor man!”
God Damn you, Andy Reid.
The fat queen has failed us again. Reid must go.
High Motor Man?
Not a high motor man. A hard worker.
We’ve got it made, EB. We’re going to the Super Bowl next year because the Eagles finally broke the silence.
