If I'm Moore, I am asking for three year job security at the very least if he's hired. He has to understand the situation he would come in to: a team in transition with poor prospects of finding a franchise QB in the upcoming year, cash problems and an aging roster, and he should be made aware that the team won't have adequate cap room until 2027.

If I’m Loomis I’m offering a 5 year contract and letting the new coach know they have no expectations for the first 2 years. After that then we need to start seeing growth as the HC is molding the team into his own vision.

If someone told me that they didn't have any expectations for the first 2 years, I'd have to pass, no matter what they offered. That tells me that they aren't that interested in winning.

Moore's taking Loomis to a Vietnamese place to see if he notices any quirks.

A french-vietnamese place would check both boxes

So, you want Loomis to lie to you , because there won't be playoff expectations for two years... Which is perfectly valid reality to live in being honest with that. You tell him he gets build his team exactly how he wants to do it and he'll get years to do it on a lengthy deal.

If you wanna purge the old, aging salary as much as we can and guarantee you a top QB prospect. We can and probably should do that.

It's like already 7pm in Philly and they are just getting there. I guess it's going to be a long night.

I bet they just have a get to know you kind of dinner and then hit the ground running in the morning.

Thinking the same thing. Coach contracts are guaranteed. Make it five years. If he gets fired in the second year, enjoy the 3 years of HC pay while being an OC somewhere else. That’s what DA is doing.

 

[BELOWSEALEVEL]

Moore needs the word of the brass that if there's a QB he wants in the 2025 draft, , we will do everything to accommodate his request. Basically it's his show and Loomis needs to listen.

 

[St. Geezy]

Interesting nugget here regarding former Saint Doug Nussmeier…

Oh man, with it being a late night, what if he takes him to a Chinese takeout place and witnesses how he places his orders?!?!

There, of course, will be expectations -- of some kind -- from jump. Professionalism, culture-building, consistency, discipline, accountability ... the intangible stuff that leads to tangible results.

Agreed with you when you specified there wouldn't be "playoff" expectations. That doesn't mean the new head coach can go trading the entire 2025 draft away to spend the draft weekend golfing. Doesn't mean consecutive 2-15 seasons (with a loss of locker room and some off-field scandals) isn't a flaming hot seat.
