Veteran defensive coach Billy Davis, who’s had stints coaching with the Panthers, Browns, Packers, Falcons, Giants, 49ers, Cards and Browns, will be the Eagles’ next defensive coordinator, Reuben Frank of CSN Philadelphia reports citing a league source. Davis most recently coached on Pat Shurmur’s staff with the Browns the last two years. Shurmur is also joining Chip Kelly’s new staff with the Eagles. The Eagles have not commented on or confirmed any coaching moves since Kelly was named head coach. Davis’s father, Bill Davis, was a front-office executive with the Eagles briefly in 1988 and 1989, but resigned after losing a power struggle with head coach Buddy Ryan. Source: The Redzone
why was both our offensive and defensive cordinator now from the browns because they were sooo good there :icon_sad:
he has been a d.c. with arizona and san fran. can't say he's been real impressive at either stop though.
Its pretty obvious these two teams are gonna keep gunning for each other and going back and forth the way things bar already gone this offseason
In his defense without knowing too much about the guy as an individual, he coached a pretty crapty (ahem, I meant injured and young) group outside of DQwell Jackson that contributed to a solid defense. I don't know if it was him, but the team got surprising contributions out of Robertson, Johnson and Fort.
the heck...? The goal in the NFL is to get better right? Did Jeffery Lurie do something to piss off Chip so that he can hire the Browns and make them the Eagles?
