An initial look at Eagles defensive coordinator candidate Jim Schwartz

by Jimmy Kempski

The Eagles' head coaching search is over, as the Eagles hired Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson to run the show, in case you've been living in a cave. And so begins the search for Pederson's staff. An obvious crucial hires will be the selection of a defensive coordinator. One name that has emerged early on is Jim Schwartz, who served as the Titans' defensive coordinator from 2001-2008, the Lions' head coach from 2009-2013, and then the Bills in 2014.

Eagles probably better off without Tom Coughlin

by Jimmy Kempski

Think Bill Davis' defense was bad in 2015? It could have been a lot worse in 2016 had the Philadelphia Eagles hired Tom Coughlin.

by Jimmy Kempski
