Process Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) I don't know much about this guy, but I do know the eagles defense was hot garbage all this season edit: this could actually be a sign they are promoting Babich, as this would be a necessary step Edited January 27 by Process 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWK Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Probably a fake interview like Thad Lewis unless Bobby Babich leaves to call plays, which he should do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBillFan Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 This feels like the wrong way round to me. Promote Babich and look elsewhere for the OC. Not seemingly take the DC hunt seriously yet play lip service to OC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Desai was scapegoated in Philly, but doesn’t have an extensive body of work. He has however worked under some interesting guys including John Fox, Vic Fangio, Mike Pettine etc. The one thing I will say is he is an interesting guy you can freely add to the staff if he doesn’t become the DC. Others have mentioned, what is most significant here is that they are doing DC interviews. I hope that means they promote Babich. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 As said above, this screams “we’re promoting Bobby B” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I really have zero issues with the team doing the bare minimum and promoting Babs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year of bone headed blunders and bad management at head coach? Find a capable dc and oc Sean. Wth are you doing ? He’s obsessed with promoting internally 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Interesting coaching history. Has 2 seasons as a ST Coordinator on the college level. Has coached OLBers, Safeties and...running backs. Seems like a guy that may have a lot of knowledge. Jack of all trades master of none. But still could add value to the staff in some capacity. As some have said, strong sign that a Babich promotion is incoming...but bigger news here is that Sean is seemingly willing to hire a DC. Have to wonder if he will still call plays or if he steps back to just the HC role. Should be pretty interesting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I will be shocked if Babich & Brady don't get the jobs within the week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also made a move to fire the last guy he promoted internally when it was clear it wasn’t working I agree, there is merit especially when you have an organization that has been stable and is winning. It's great for continuity and motivation for the other guys on the staff to see that hard work pays off. On the other hand, there is something to be said for getting fresh eyes, ideas and concepts into an organization. Let's a team evolve and become less and less predictable. There should be a fair mix of both IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to satisfying the Rooney Rule in order to promote Babich, this is probably some due diligence in the event Desai doesn't get another DC job. He could come here to rebuild his value a bit like Joe Brady did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnus00 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The fact that they're even interviewing means McDermott is likely giving up the DC gig. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 2 hours ago, MWK said: He’s obsessed with promoting internally Yes, he is, and it's part of his philosophy. It's his continuous improvement, life-long learner, growth-mindset philosophy. It makes a lot of sense. Under his approach, he believes everyone will get better at their job every year. When you bring in someone from the outside, you have get him to speed on all the institutional knowledge the team has. When you promote guys, you don't have to do that - they're already up to speed. And who are the guys getting promoted? They're guys who do their jobs with that philosophy. McDermott believes the institutional knowledge continues to accumulate and grow so long as you have a lot of people who learn it and live it. McDermott believes that when you have a healthy system like that, the team actually does get better every year, even though the personnel changes. I've never really thought about it, but I think that's what Reid has going KC. It's the thing that makes KC always seem like they're a step ahead of everyone. Belichick did it, too. Next man up, from within if possible. So, yeah, he is obsessed with it. It's core principle in his organization. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a team environment… not all growth can come from self growth … outside ideas and influence are essential in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
