Well, the Eagles tried to get an interview with Grantham and could not do it. They were also interested in Donatell but were likely denied permission to speak to him.
I am beginning to think Grantham may have been our man all along, and that Payton might have reached out to him even prior to the firing of Spags. I say that because I find it odd that the Eagles tried twice to interview Grantham but were unable to do so. Then we were able to get him to interview. Did Grantham know something ahead of time and make a possible interview with the Eagles seem inconvenient? I guess it is speculation on my part but I do wonder about it.
Either way, the Eagles were against the clock, not literally but just in terms of making sure they landed a coach. They interviewed Davis 10 days ago, and were waiting to speak with Grantham and Donatell. Since they could not, they had to move on or back to Davis, who is said to be a solid up and coming coach though I do not know a whole lot about him.
