Forgot about Ron Rivera — definitely someone who fell off the radar and who was a very trendy head coaching pick a few years back. Good one.

What about Ron Rivera? He seemed like an up an coming coach who somehow got lost in the shuffle of NFL coaching duties.

I agree though, I’d take one of the Ryan’s in a heartbeat.

I think Gru-Dawg knows what he’s doing, generally speaking. He certainly meets my competence bar, but I’m mostly excited about his temperament. Again, I can’t recommend the America’s Game about the 02 Bucs enough — he has some great things to say about Philly in there.

As far as building the roster, I’m sure he’d demand control, and it’s very unlikely he’d be up to the task. But that’s mostly because very few coaches are able to do both the head coach and GM jobs well.

My initial reaction to you choosing Jon Gruden to top your wish list about made me heave my monitor out of my office window, but you make a valid point about him being a a great character fit for Philly. I could see him being just another one Eagles fan in the stands, and I would definitely buy him a beer if I were sitting next to him at a game.
Hypothetical: If you got your wish, and he won us a Super Bowl. Then key players leave in search of their post championship payday, do you think that he could build his own team, and maintain that high level of success?

Ryans for president!!!!!
