Not going anywhere.

The Eagles need to revamp their entire offense in the wake of Chip Kelly. A lot of the existing pieces will not fit a traditional Pro-Style Offense, they were hodgepodged together to fit Kelly's wacko scheme. Getting rid of Desean Jackson, Jeremy Macklin and Lesean McCoy was beyond idiotic, they were big pieces that are not easily replaced plus unless you are getting a 1st round QB, he is going to have to grow into the role.

They'll likely stick with Bradford and build an offense around him, then draft a QB when they have a servicable offense in place.

Anyone that thinks this team is a new coach and year away from being competitive again is delusional.

It's not unlike the current situation in Tampa. They brought in Lovie and gave him final say in personnel decisions. Big mistake. They are at the least another year away now because he blew up a functional defense to bring in "His Guys" who turned out to be mostly retreaded free agents looking for a quick payday. Most of them are gone, and now there are glaring holes on the D line (one of the lowest pass rushing lines in the NFL) and secondary. To give him credit - when healthy, they have a solid Linebacking Corps.

I truly have no earthly idea what a GM in the NFL does anymore.

Hopefully this experiment is over and HC's go back to doing what they are paid to do - coach the players they are given by designing schemes around the strengths and talents of the team.

His job security there has more to do with the current nightmare the franchise is in the middle of, and less to do with his perennial failures.

The franchise is in complete flux. The owner wants out of the stadium and STL, LA prefers the Raiders. The NFL regulations would make it nearly impossible to move the team, and the lease with Edward Jones Dome precludes him from playing outside of it until it expires in 2025.

They've got a ton of problems, the least of which is the product they put on the field.

Ridiculous. Taylor's first year as a starter without Lesean McCoy and Sammy Watkins for a majority of the season in a very difficult division, with a top loaded schedule:

4 games with the Pats and Jets (sweeping the Jets accounting for 2 of the 6 NYJ losses) and 4 additional games against playoff bound Texans, Chiefs, Redskins, Bengals.

Absolute and complete foolishness.

It has nothing to do with Taylor and neither McCoy nor Watkins were gone "a majority of the season". The problem is he took a top 5 defense and turned it into a bottom 10 defense with his best players openly saying they're not being used correctly. And you're giving him credit for going 1-5 against playoff teams? It's nice that he won his Super Bowl games against the Jets, but when you're purely a defensive coach and you regress as badly as they did on D, that's a big red flag.

Before you count the Jets wins as big, their schedule was ridiculously easy this year. 10 wins, 2 against playoff teams. They only played 3 playoff teams, the Patriots and the winners off the two weakest division (Texans, Redskins). The Bills only win over a playoff team was the Texans. The AFC East had the easiest schedules in the AFC and could still only qualify one team.
