Eagles to reportedly hire Shurmur

Posted January 21, 2013 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Pat Shurmur,  Tom Heckert,  Andy Reid
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns,  Philadelphia Eagles
Former Browns coach Pat Shurmur is joining Chip Kelly's staff with the Philadelphia Eagles, a person familiar with the hiring told The Associated Press Monday. Shurmur is expected to be Philadelphia's offensive coordinator, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Eagles haven't announced any coaching moves. Shurmur went 9-23 in two seasons in Cleveland. He was fired along with general manager Tom Heckert on Dec. 31. Shurmur began his NFL coaching career with the Eagles, serving as an assistant under Andy Reid for 10 seasons. He was the Eagles' tight ends coach from 1999-2001 and quarterbacks coach until 2008. Shurmur then was offensive coordinator for St. Louis for two seasons before going to the Browns.

Browns felt that Chip Kelly was too big of a gamble

Via 60 Max Power O  |  January 21, 2013
Cleveland Browns CEO Joe Banner didn’t feel comfortable enough to go ahead and offer Chip Kelly the head coaching position. Banner felt Kelly was a risk to change his mind and throw off the Browns search, as he had done to Tampa Bay a year earlier. Combined with the fact Kelly had never coached in the NFL, and his unconventional offense, there were too many question marks. ...

The Philadelphia Eagles wanted their man, and they apparently felt he could be theirs for the right money. Chip Kelly spurned them once, opting to stay back in Oregon, but the Eagles wouldn't take no for an answer and upped the ante last week, offering to make him on the highest paid coaches in the NFL, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Joe Banner says the Browns didn’t want to gamble with Chip Kelly

Via Pro Football Zone  |  January 22, 2013
Cleveland Browns CEO Joe Banner told Peter King of SI.com that they ended up moving on from Chip Kelly because they were ready to take a risk on him being a good NFL head coach. “We removed ourselves from the process. We really liked Chip,” Banner said. ”He’s intriguing, a very different thinker, and very smart. But you could see he was uncertain what he wanted to do. He...

Browns questions abound

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  January 21, 2013
Now that the Super Bowl is set and the Browns hires are pretty much all set, there’s nothing left but to wonder about a lot of things. No, not silly already decided things about keeping a certain owner out of the Hall of Fame. That’s been decided a long time ago and as far as I can tell nothing at all (at all) has changed despite death and patches. Other than the obvious though...

Cleveland Frowns Super Bowl Party at Map Room sponsored by Jim Beam, and Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Via Cleveland Frowns  |  January 22, 2013
This year, we’re bringing some symmetry to the Frowns social calendar with a Super Bowl party at Gillespies’ Map Room on East 9th Street just north of St. Clair. Of course, it probably won’t be as exciting as our annual NFL draft party because there’s only one Super Bowl for Browns fans. But it should still be a lot of fun: A place for you to meet and/or congregate with other...

Comparing Andy Reid and Charlie Manuel

Via Phillies Nation  |  January 22, 2013
Would Charlie be fired midseason? I’m not saying that it is likely, or even that it isn’t likely, but we have to prepare ourselves for a situation in which Charlie Manuel gets fired the same way we had to with Andy Reid. The man has brought us a run of NL East championships and a World Series since he was hired to be the manager of the Phillies in 2005. He might be the best...

Jets-Michael Vick Union Reportedly Unlikely

If Michael Vick winds up parting ways with the Philadelphia Eagles, he's bound to find work elsewhere -- but not in Florham Park. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Vick is not a fit for the New York Jets, who hired Marty Mornhinweg as the team's offensive coordinator this week.
