The idea is that it reveals what Philly might be thinking, not whether they are right in thinking it.

I wish Sirrianni luck. Philly is a tough town, I'm afraid he signed up for a rebuilding job.

I'm sure they will be different. But I am also sure Reich will give him some pointers and insight the other coaches wouldn't have. And just how to handle a talented but spirited employee. McDaniels was the only other OC and he has a rep for manipulation, half-truths, and mind games.

No question, but my curiosity was more about whether by hiring Sirianni the Eagles are more or less likely to keep Wentz. Dam suggested earlier that it increased the likelihood that they’ll keep Wentz, and I was just trying to understand why he thought this might be. The idea that Sirianni might have absorbed some of Reich's compatibility with Wentz didn't necessarily follow to me.

On a more practical level, if the Eagles want to move on from Wentz, this is probably the offseason to do it based upon the cap discussion we had in another thread. They’ll be locked into him for essentially two more years if they don’t get rid of him by early March this year, and for a team that is facing serious cap issues I can’t imagine they can afford to carry a $30M backup QB. So the issue is coming to a head immediately in Sirianni’s tenure, and since I doubt the Eagles will be contending next year it might be a better strategy to focus on developing Hurt at this point.

Either way, I'm just curious more than anything. I wouldn't hate it if we traded for Wentz so long as we didn't give up the farm to do so, but I won't lose any sleep if we don't since there appear to be several other options available.

My guess is the owner has a lot invested in Wentz and it was easier to get rid of pederson. He couldn’t get Reich so he got the closest thing he could. Kinda like if you know Mcvey you get a coaching interview. I bet they keep him.

The Gannon to Philly rumors started once Sirianni was named head coach. It is finally official. Sirianni is also hiring Kevin Patullo as Philly's passing game coordinator.

The Eagles have agreed to terms with Colts DBs coach Jonathan Gannon to be their new defensive coordinator, per me and Tom Pelissero. A coveted candidate lands in Philly for Nick Sirianni.

The Eagles also agreed to terms with Colts assistant Kevin Patullo as their offensive pass game coordinator, per source. Nick Sirianni bringing along some familiar faces to Philly.

Sirianni has added another Colt coach to his staff in Philly:

The Eagles are hiring Jason Michael as their tight ends coach, source said. Michael — the former Titans OC — coached TEs the past two seasons with the Colts. Another Nick Sirianni connection.

It’s also allowing Brady to bring in guys he would like as well.

Considering that two of these are lateral movements, I would guess that Reich and Sirianni had a discussion about this topic.

A little staff turnover is not a bad thing - it allows to get a few new voices in the room.

It also may allow Reich to bring in a few guys that weren't available when Reich was originally constructing his staff. He had reportedly wanted Milanovich on his staff but he wasn't available a few years ago.

I guess the Colts and Philly are swapping passing game coordinators. Sirianni hired ex-Colt coach Kevin Patullo as Philly's new passing game coordinator.

According to Al Breer, ex-Eagle passing game coordinator Press Taylor will help fill the void on the Colts coaching staff.

Sources: Ex-Eagles pass-game coordinator Press Taylor is expected to join Colts coach Frank Reich's staff. Indy lost Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo this month, and Taylor will help to fill the gaps.

Reich and Taylor worked together in Philly.
