Sean McDermott proud to be one of three current NFL head coaches from Philadelphia area
Sean McDermott sat there frozen. He didn’t want to believe the words that were coming from then-Eagles’ coach Andy Reid. After what on paper looked like a productive defensive season for the Eagles, finishing 12th overall in defense after the 2010 season, Reid told McDermott he was fired as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator. “How crazy this is going to sound, it was the best thing for my career,” said McDermott, a 1993 La Salle College High School graduate. “Sometimes you have to take some knocks, get some scars to learn and grow.

Especially when it involves taking someone far too young and far too good, like Isaiah Turner.October 27, 2020
