Eagles fired their OC Brian Johnson (1 Viewer)

I think some just see a name and say anything. To the people saying bring him in or interview him, have you actually payed any attention to the Eagles? Brian Johnson is absolutely terrible, one of the worst OC’s in the league, if not the worst.

Best example is the lack of any sort of offensive gameplan against the Bucs. Everyone knows Bowles likes to bring pressure and yet in obvious blitz situations Johnson was calling go routes and curls, no quick developing plays, crossing routes or just generally anything over the middle. He’d be an absolute disaster here.

I would have preferred Bonn Scott.

Compared to other teams’ coordinator or staff vacancies, Saints are in better position in FO/coaching stability and identifying talent than most. Titans, Chargers, Bears, and Falcons finished worst than the Saints and still climbing to be above .500 again. Saints aren’t that far from playoff return.

True but that's as much about the competition as anything else. Making the playoffs is no great accomplishment these days.

Actually they’re doing the same thing as us. Don’t want to fire the HC so make the OC the scapegoat

They went 11-6 and made the playoffs. There's a difference.

They lost 6 of their last 7 games. We were much better than them at the end of the season.

Made the playoffs on the strength of starting out 10-1. They were among the league’s very worst teams, record wise, in the second half of the season.

Sirianni should’ve gotten fired for a 1-5 L6 and a wildcard exit. He bought himself a year with their FO by putting blame on the OC which is weird because he’s the lead offensive mind in the building.

Refuses to run. I will pass!

That's a bit of an exaggeration. It's pretty clear to all that the offense mostly held the Saints back this season, and they were one game away from the playoffs and have some very good pieces to work with on offense. I don't see how anyone hoping to be an OC doesn't look at the Saints and get excited because the pieces to be good are already there. If DA gets a good OC, they are winning the division next year.

Because several times the players and the coaches poked at each other several times, and the GM doubled down on the players. That’s an awful situation to work in.
Also, for the time being we have a terrible OL, not the best to make you shine as an OC
