Carson Wentz I still think has the tools to be a great QB, but certainly not in this current environment. I do not like Press Taylor as the QB coach, I think he doesn't provide much by way of constructive criticism, but I'm not at all the practices so I can not definitively say that it's just the impression I'm given. I think Wentz needs a strong offensive mind that can coach him effectively. I think DeFilippo did that for him. The largest concern I have with Wentz is the in between the ears part. He played incredible before the ACL injury and had to watch his backup win Super Bowl and SB MVP. How much of the erratic play is because of him pressing because he's trying to live up to that? I'm no psychologist so I couldn't tell you. I do think that Orlovsky would be the wrong guy to be coaching up Wentz because I'm not sure if he'd provide enough feedback to help Wentz become more sound mechanically or about reading the defenses, but I might be wrong. The guy I'd like to see coach Wentz is Graham Harrell, I think very highly of him and think he's got a good offensive mind as well (not ready to be a HC though).
Doug I think needs to go, I'm not entirely sure the team responds to him anymore and the offense definitely looks stale. I think the change of scenery would do him well. I think the biggest wildcard is Howie Roseman. I've heard a bunch of widespread things about him from Howie telling Doug who plays or not. If any part of that is true (I'm not one to believe it) I can see where Doug would lose some passion for coaching. I want Howie not making any draft or FA choices this offseason because I do not expect him to get fired (no matter how much I want it).
I agree that the Eagles should be considered an attractive spot to be a HC and I would love to see Ryan Day become the next coach (not sure if Riley would move, so why bother getting too excited). The number 1 thing is Howie needs to away from the equation for the new coach, let them pick the staff, provide input on the guys they want etc.
