New Philadelphia Eagles UPDATE: It appears that the Eagles are moving forward with one of the previously rumored candidates at DC. Philadelphia area broadcaster Howard Eskin is reporting that Eagles are expected to name 49ers secondary coach Ed Donatell as their next DC, per the Bay Area News Group. They'll have to wait until after the Super Bowl to make this happen -- and Eskin has whiffed in the past -- but the move makes some sense, as Donatell has experience as an NFL DC previously, and has made Pro Bowlers -- as opposed to pro bowlers -- out of multiple Niner defensive backs in recent campaigns.
