OT: Graham Harrell interviewing for Eagles OC job

Advertisement
I am not familiar with Harrell's offense. Is it balanced or more pass heavy? If pass heavy, what does it favor attacking?

Eagles are my pro team. But huge for Eagles.

Wonder what happens to USC if or maybe when he takes that job.
Graham would work wonders with Carson Wentz.

You know I’m a birds fan too.

It’s weird IMO , Peterson calls the plays. Maybe he’s giving them, I personally like him calling the plays , we just miss Reich helping out in the qb room.
 
Yes.... if Miami fires Manny after next season, we'll get scraps from the bottom of the barrel when it comes to available coaches.

Saban will retire - Alabama job open
Helton will be fired - USC Job open
Herman will be fired - Texas job open
Frost will be fired - Nebraska job open
Muschamp will be fired - South Carolina job open


Miami will be like the 5th or 6th most attractive job open. Whereas, if we had fired Manny this year, we would have been THE hottest job.

Thanks, David Epstein.

Never mind, here are basic stats.

I'm really only interested because some posters here thought he was a big deal and many thought he saved Helton's job.

I wouldn't say balance. He runs the ball more than Leach but it's not creative with the run like OU. The second the games gets uncomfortable for USC they are relying on the pass. The QB had a games where he threw around 57 times and 47 times.

I don’t think Frost gets fired. I think he has one of the longest leashes in the nation. He’s home grown, prior success, and it’s hard to win there now. He’s starting to trickle in Florida kids too.

He has the longest leash. There was a pretty good article earlier in the year that basically said if he can't bring the program back it can't be done. And Osborne is in his corner. That cannot be overstated.

I don't think it can be done. Nebraska won with some critical "partial qualifiers", largely from California, back in the day. Not the whole team, but some real difference makers. If they can't get those athletes they can't contend at any kind of higher level. Maybe Frost's offense sells them, but that is the key. And his offense can't click without difference makers. Chicken and egg situation.

Dougie P is an Andy Reid disciple. They are both pass heavy coaches who pass to set up the run, which I'd perfect for Miles Sanders and a receiver like DeSean Jackson when healthy and great for the two TEs Ertz andre Godert, and Doug loves screens.

Graham is an air raid guy which would make it interesting to see a spread coast air raid type system between those two.

Me and you can talk anytime about then birds. BIG Iggles fan.
Frank Reich made that SB winning offense him.

But, Harrell is a very young offensive mind and Dougie P IMO is at least half as smart as his mentor, Andy Reid. They are both pass happy to open up the run and by the 4th quarter, he 12 personnel to wear you down. I like Graham Harrell. And I think his offensive philosophy can mesh with Doug's.

Actually, Philly born and raised. Met JB as an iggle in 1991. DIE HARD TO THE DEATH.
I would LOVE graham Harrell working with Dougie P, I think Carson Wentz could thrive in an air raid variant scheme with Miles Sanders, DJax and the 2 tight ends.

Reich was the reason Wentz was on an MVP like season before getting hurt in LA.

But, Andy Reid and Doug loves former QBs with soread/air raid concepts.
