Blaming only the defense is BS when Marty is having Vick and young throw the ball 40 times a game with the most predictable play calling. I could sit at home and call run or pass.

But obviously castillo is a huge problem because he refuses to play our dbs man to man. Our linebackers are out of position 75% of the time and our d line is constantly gashed by the run

I have moved to the Ohio area and had to suffer the last 10 years with terrible franchises (Detriot and Cleveland). Andy Reid has made the Eagles into contenders except for 2 years. This team only needs a few upgrades to be at the top of the Heap again. I do think OC and DC should be replaced. Marty has shown he cannot run the ball when needed and Juan I never understood. As we say in Philly, wait until next year

Keeping Mudd and Wasburn is the only thing this coaching staff has going for it. Imagine if we had real coordinators and other position coaches instead of yes men.

Just watching the quick glimpses the cameras give he is looking bad. The constant throat clearing he does during news conferences seems to go on endlessly, whether he speaks or not. For his health and the sake of the Eagles health he needs to step aside.

It makes sense because his play calls, coaching staff additions, and the way he underachieves has gotten worse since 2009.

2009: They were a Superbowl contender after the 2008 NFC Championship game and brought in big names like Jason Peters. They lose the NFC East title after losing to Dallas in Week 17 and get pummeled in the Wild Card game against the same team.

2010: They were supposed to be a good playoff team, but Reid failed to adjust to the defenses that were harassing Mike Vick. The Birds go 1-and-out. That’s not a good playoff team.

2011: They were a Superbowl contender with all these “Dream Team” acquisitions and now they are in worse shape than ever before!!!

This guy deserves to be back???

Reid should also be gone for, among other things, making the decision to put Juan there. The fat man had a good run in Philly but he’s out of bullets. The only thing that could keep him from being fired is the fact that he has 2 years left on his contract and Lurie might feel like he owes him one more year to turn it around.

theres no way castillo can be brought back in any capacity. the fans want his blood for ruining our defense.

even at 4-8, that idiot castillo still refused to play nnamdi man to man. he must go.

You mean completely firing…?
This has to be the sloppiest professional website I’ve ever read. The content is fabulous, but there are mistakes(stupid mistakes) in almost every post. Why is PFT so against proofreading. It really is odd.

The illness was caused by whoever thought that promoting an OL coach to defensive coordinator was a good idea.

You can’t just plug Castillo back in at OL coach, his blocking schemes are vastly different from Mudd’s and they don’t have the right personnel on the current roster to make the change.

Also, you’re all ignoring the human element to these changes. These are people, not chess pieces, and they can’t just be moved around with no regard for what impacts it would create in the locker room and coach’s offices. There’s really no moves to be made that could make this team immediately better, but they should seriously consider what happens now in preparation for next season.

Will that losing team be willing to trade a 1st round pick for Reid’s rights?

Do you understand what “fired” means? It means he can go where he pleases without a trade.

Yes, I do know what fired means. All I’m saying is that if Lurie wants to do what Oakland did with Tampa in the Gruden trade, he would want a #1 back for Andy, which I doubt any team looking for a head coach would do.

Im certainly not defending the defense, but they’ve done an average job this year. The biggest problem for the Eagles defense all year has been the Vick and Young interceptions. You can’t average 2 Int’s a game and three TO’s and win even half of your games.
The eagles need to figure out how to fix the interceptions or bite the hige bullet of cutting Vick.

Mudd has been very good. Ask Lesean McCoy. The front four has pretty much done their job. Kudos to Washburn. Bobby April has had a very good year. Castillo was the bad idea. I agree with the writer. Juan should be replaced with someone who can call a defense in the fourth quarter. If Andy refuses it means he is sick of the fans in Philly.

He just took advantage of a huge opportunity. Reid should never have offered the coordinator position to him. Castillo doesn’t deserve to be the scapegoat. How many coaches can you fire until you realize maybe the problem is with the coach?

If they plan on drafting their next franchise QB, then who better to coach them? They just have to let Juan go. However, at this point Mudd may want to head back into retirement on his own.
