    Eagles should interview Bill O'Brien for Eagles head coach job...O'Brien was Tom Brady's offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl New England Patriots.

    I said Lurie should of hired O Brien way back when he took the Penn State job. Lurie was from up that way and he should have known about his ability to coach. Missed opportunity, but maybe not.

    But you know what, Rowdy, you're not O'Brien. You're just another uninformed loser that holds a grudge against a college that you didn't qualify for....Jay Grace, everyone looks forward to your insightful comments....

    He'd never get a shot at another major college gig.

    You guys are a bit delusional. The tenure for an NFL coach is about 4-6 years.

    A reasonably successful coach in college has a tenure of DECADES and the lifestyle is much better.

    The guys strikes me as very happy to be in a situation where he gets to enjoy COACHING instead of explaining each loss to the press.

    Why should O'Brien leave? He has an 8 year contract, a nice place to live, less stress and time requirements than a NFL coach (so he can take care of his sick kid), and he's getting a fair amount of money. Plus, if he changes around the football team and athletic department, he'll be a hero for dragging us up out of the whole Sandusky mess. And then there's the NFL team that would want to pay for O'Brien's payout if he leaves (call it $8 million). The guy has an infectious upbeat, open attitude.
