| Don't think I'd buy it yet. Not sure why the AJC would break it first, and a tweet saying "reports suggest" isn't exactly rock solid info. Reply • Back to Top |
He would be an EXCELLENT hire!  Reply • Back to Top |
| Yea good hire. He needs to cut his teeth more at a place outside Bama before we line up his return as HC. Reply • Back to Top |
| Wow if true. Seems like a bit of a stretch for the Eagles, but I am interested to see how Kirby does on his own. Reply • Back to Top |
the eagles going the full college coach route  Reply • Back to Top |
| Jeez NFL DC? Nice gig if he gets it. Reply • Back to Top |
| If it were between Smart and Grantham as reports suggested, I'd take Smart every time if I were Kelly. Reply • Back to Top |
Jox just said the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting it, too. Congrats to Kirby if true.  Reply • Back to Top |
| Why not?? Quinn just got DC for Seahawks Reply • Back to Top |

I think he was hoping to make a jump from DC to HC but Nick Saban's shadow is pretty big for a young DC to make that jump. Also, there's less risk in taking an NFL gig because he can fail and return to the college game relatively easily. Reply • Back to Top |

Well, all their players come from college. Why not the coaches too?  Reply • Back to Top |
| Why not bring in Saban's understudy? No one questions Saban's football smarts. Reply • Back to Top |

| So sure the new coaches would be great for rookies but the old school vets are gonna have trouble trusting some college head coach hotshot not named jim harbough Reply • Back to Top |
| If this is in fact true, Jeremy Pruit looks like an idiot... he could've been handed the reins to something awesome... instead, he'll be on his own in Tallahassee trying to copy something and failing miserably. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
