Brad Childress Snags Cleveland Browns Vacant OC Position

Photo

While the Eagles' current offensive coordinator appears to be staying put, his predecessor has found a new city to call home. Earlier this afternoon, the Cleveland Browns (a.k.a. Philadelphia: Midwest Branch) announced that they had hired Brad Childress as their new offensive coordinator. The move obviously stems from the relationship Childress has with Cleveland's current head coach, Pat Shurmur, who was the Eagles quarterbacks coach under Childress from 2002-2005.

While this move isn't big news to most Eagles fans, it does mean that one more offensive coordinator option is off the market. However, the Raiders have already announced their decision to hire Denver's Dennis Allen as their new head coach. The Colts have also found their new man in Chuck Pagano. This means that Marty Mornhinweg, who is essentially out of options at this point, will likely stay put in Philadelphia for another year, sparing the Eagles from going through yet another frustrating search for a new assistant coach.

He’s going to Denver to chop wood their defense.

Thanks for that article the other day, Jason. I had completely forgotten that story.

I would like to thank my hands for being so great, for allowing me to type this post.

Definition of Insanity

Hoooraaayy!!! 2013 Eagles will be amazing. Let’s see…keep same HC, DC, AND OC then expect different results?? No quite. 8-8 or 9-7 and miss playoffs again… Sigh. Poor Andrew is afraid of true change and that ladies and gentlemen will be his undoing. We’ve done nothing different pre-draft and FA; and I doubt nothing will help except true change from the TOP ie Roseman, Reid, Morty, and Andrew. For the record, I want Andrew gone. However, I believe he deserves one last “hoorah”. If he wants to continue to steer a sinking ship, then I’ll continue to clap for his head. With Philbin, Childress, Pagano, Fisher, Spagnuolo, etc…pretty much every good OC or DC signing everywhere BUT here…I just believe Andrew is ready to end it all and our 2012 season with him. Good riddance!!! Here’s to our 2013 E-A-G-L-E-S..Eagles!!!

You’re ignoring time — everybody will be more experienced in the system. You’re forgetting players — there will be some turnover and players will be more experienced. The equation isn’t as straight forward as you make it out to be.

Absoloutely. If any team was hurt by the lockout it was this team.

Continuity is good.

10-6 minimum.

I dunno. With Davis gone it could be ripe for an improvement. The division is wacky.

You know my last choice? Freakin Dallas. Not because they’re the Cowboys, but I wouldn’t want to coach for Jerry Jones. I wanna have strong input with a reasonable GM. An Andylike relationship.

i'm okay with both HC, OC, and DC,

And here is why:

Although Andy Reids recent record since the superbowl has deterioriated, I think he has been hit with strange circumstances. A sudden loss of his entire defensive tree and an offense that, while it had epic qualities, ran hot and cold. Sometimes cold at the wrong time. Freak concussions and injuries. A lost defense, but he was never a defensive guy. He had Jim Johnson for that.

And assistants under him. Spags was a guy in waiting. Rivera was a guy in waiting. Poached.

Andy is a good coach, and I don’t think there’ll be better available this year. Keeping the course with him at the helm is continuity and inprovement. Those turnovers were freaky.

Keeping Marty on the offense is acceptable. With Chili gone, there isn’t anyone out there I’m sure Reid wouldn’t clash with. The running game argument is gone and Philadelphia isn’t terrible offensively. They’re peaking.

Defensively, what is available with Spags gone? If I were him, i’d have taken that New Orleans team. Home field advantage in the playoffs and he just has to be good enough.

I feel Juan isn’t a superstar, but we’re not going to attract one with Washburn on the dline. Washburn is a superstar. We can deal with Juan more year, even if it includes more of those puns. The wide-9 system works. But think of it like a 3-4 conversion. It takes a serious shift in personel and often a year or two.

And Juan did show improvement. Against scrubs or not, he beat who he should’ve beat- which was something he wasn’t doing earlier. That is improvement.

So, stay the course. Fix the linebacker problem, add some depth, and hope the turnover bug is gone. It happens.

I agree with almost your entire post.. Love the optimism. Nice breath of fresh air compared to all the disappointment from other bloggers (which are well deserved).
The one disagreement I have with you is this

We can deal with Juan more year, even if it includes more of those puns.

These puns are killing me slowly. I can’t take it.

Uh, did Childress even call the plays when he was here?

Probably not.

No he did not, AR first gave the play calling duties to MM back in 2008, when the offense and the teams wasnt working.

Can ANYONE justify a Ronnie Brown Run/Pass Option

On 1st and goal? /Wonders how many years a philly jury would give me for manslaughter of the guy who CHOOSES to kick off in OT. Juan>Marty.

The 1st and goal playcall wasn’t terrible. The execution was. You don’t blame lambourgini for bad drivers.

1st and goal is the ideal place to mix up a playcall. 2nd and goal means you probably failed at running once, and 3rd and goal is super obvious.
