Barring an unforeseen change, Rory Segrest (former Eagles coach & current DL coach at Arkansas) will be the next DL coach for the Eagles.

quote:

Segrest worked for the Eagles for five seasons before being fired in 2011. He spent a few years as Philadelphia's special teams coordinator before being moved to defensive line coach. After leaving Philadelphia, Segrest returned to the college ranks and coached at Samford. In 2014, he was hired by Bret Bielema to be a part of the Arkansas staff. Segrest has since served as the defensive line and specialists coach for the Razorbacks.

This is certainly a surprising hire because Segrest did not fare well in his first run with the Eagles. Maybe he's learned from his mistakes and he'll be better around this time, but it's fair to be concerned.



Pretty sure Bert processed him

Absolutely being sent on his way, have you seen our special teams? That's enough to get anyone and everyone fired.

We can definitely upgrade that coaching position. I was hoping he'd be let go this offseason.

why laugh?

Bert has processed underperforming assistants before. And our dline/special teams have certainly underperformed.

Eagles fans are really upset on their message boards lol

Can't blame them. Wish it didn't happen so close to signing day though.

Did he say goodbye to the players first at least? Or did Bert bring all the players to his home?

I don't think Bielema "sent him packing", because it's the NFL, but the D-line kind of sucked this year. No real way around it. He underperformed hard this year.

Bert didn't take players to his home to try and convince him to stay. That's only done for assistants bert really wants to keep.

Not sure if rory said goodbye to the players

Sounds to me like the Eagles org is saying screw you Chip, we made a mistake.
