00:00 Kevin, no offense to the previous offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, who was let go,

00:07 who was promoted last year from quarterbacks coach Dosey, and of course,

00:11 Sean Desai, who was reassigned in season. Those two guys will have jobs, I wouldn't worry about

00:15 that. But the bottom line is they upgraded in a major way to proven coordinators. Vic Fangio,

00:21 one of the best in NFL history. But there's a saying around the National Football League,

00:25 guys, if you don't have the talent, it doesn't matter who it is. So Howie Roseman,

00:29 the general manager of the Eagles, has a lot of work to do on their back seven to help Fangio out.

00:34 He'll still have a very good front. But the bottom line is they got the best guy available,

00:37 who they tried to not only hire guys last year, but he had agreed to terms with the Dolphins,

00:42 so he didn't change his mind. They actually put Fangio on their list after Doug Peterson

00:48 left and Jim Schwartz decided that he was going to stay out of coaching for a little bit. But

00:53 Vic was not ready to coach again until obviously this past season. So yeah, they get him. That's

00:59 a big move for them. But the other one was Kellen Moore. And I know it's funny, in social media,

01:05 I look at this stuff and I kind of laugh. Cowboys fans had it with Kellen Moore because trick plays,

01:10 and there's some of the plays, the play calls they didn't like. You talk to any coach,

01:14 he's one of the most respected play callers in the National Football League. Super aggressive.

01:18 For fantasy next season, I'm all in on everybody that they have. I'm telling you,

01:22 Jalen Hurts will bounce back. Now, the only thing is, Kevin, with Kellen Moore,

01:26 he doesn't have a history of calling a lot of run plays with his quarterbacks. And that's

01:31 something I know the Eagles want to get back to doing. But he's a super aggressive play caller.

01:35 You're going to see a lot of three receiver sets, which we call 11 personnel, one back,

01:40 one 10 in, and three receivers. That's what he's known for. So you're right. You're absolutely

01:44 right about this. The Eagles have upgraded in a significant way with their coordinators. But

01:48 again, personnel and defense need to be upgraded if they want to get back to being a Super Bowl,

01:53 serious Super Bowl contender.
