I would hire Chip in a second as head coach bit no way would I let him have control over personnel. He can have a say bit as soon as "let's trade for Sam Bradford and sign a oft injured RB who ran behind the best OLINE a lot of money" he needs to be stopped. Titans would be ideal scenario imo. Eagles I think was too much of a win now situation with an unsettled QB situation. Go to the Titans and build up for 3-4 years into the kind of team he can win with.

Gimme Chip over Lovie.
But he's likely destined for Tennessee or sit out a year and head back to College.

The Eagles offseason was truly a headscratcher. Given his contract I couldn't imagine anyone trading for Bradford. Much less trading an arguably better QB (arguably mind you, I don't think Foles is really better than Bradford and think they're actually pretty similar as far as NFL production goes) and picks. I mean a straight up swap would have been one thing. but giving up a 2 with him as well? And Bradford is an impending Free Agent as well. So it' s not like you had him for 2 years. That trade made no sense.
ALonso for McCoy trade on the surface makes sense. Sure it's a gamble trade but once upon a time Alonso was a heck of an RB, McCoy is a 27 year old running backs. Unless your name is Adrian Peterson, usually running backs don't age well. Where it doesn't make sense is to go out and spend money on a 27 year old running back. Would have made more sense to keep McCoy and sign Curtis Lofton or someone like that and used the money elsewhere. I get the idea of turning a RB to value, but to then waste cap on an old RB?
For the Eagles, I think the issue was that he blew the team up, and the experiment failed miserably. ANd I think he lost the lockerroom. It was the opposite issue seemingly than the Harbaugh/SF think where the coach had the lockerroom but the FO wanted a different thing.
Also his strategy is ****ing terrible. His clock management spiel is way too serious. When you have the lead in the 4th quarter you shouldn't be rushing to get to the line. I know it throws the defense off, but it's hardly the right strategic play. IN the first half it doesn't matter, but come the second half you have to be thinking about the game ending.
Also to addI think there's be a leak soon basically saying that the Eagles asked for him to step down from personnel decisions and that's what lead to the firing. Could be wrong, but it's a strong hunch I have.

Can't wait to see Chip in Tennessee. It'll be nice to finally have a good coach and a good QB again. We haven't had that since McNair and Fisher.
So, only a few spots up for grabs this weekend. Onyl one playoff spot fought between Houston and Indy where if Houston loses and Indy Wins indy will get in the playoffs with the right results.
For as far as battles in the NFC. Basically the top seeds are up for grabs, Cardinals can only get the top seed if Carolina loses and they win. Packers and Vikings face off for the NFC North title

Do you think the Adams will actually sell?
Oh Kirk just continues to own the league. He's gonna get paid this off season.
Ryan has played like a damn average high school QB this year. He needs to go take a long hard look in the mirror this offseason. Tired of the excuses.

Apparently Sean Payton to San Francisco could be picking up some traction. I don't buy it for a second. First I don't think Payton leaves New Orleans until Drew Brees does. Secondly there are much better coaching destinations that are/could be open. Philly, Indy, and Tennessee are hands down much better situations.
Cardinals are getting bounced in two weeks no matter who they play.
