Not everyone has come away impressed with the coaching hires of Philadelphia Eagles head honcho Nick Sirianni.
The coach with the highest active winning percentage over any coach currently in the league opted to promote Kevin Patullo to the offensive coordinator and play-caller role this season.
Now, he's found his new quarterbacks coach.
Philadelphia agreed to terms with former Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler to be the team's quarterback coach and work directly with Super Bowl LIX Jalen Hurts as he looked to take the next step in his development.
But while some may be pleased with the "out of box" thinking, Sirianni made it clear he was only looking for people who would be best for the job.
"I'm always looking for a good person because I think we just saw there were many different reasons why we were able to win but a big one was teamwork, connection, selflessness. So you're always looking for that," Sirianni said. "And a job of a position coach is to help a player get better fundamentally.
"So that's the main thing you're looking for in a position coach but also you can get in a position coach, can they bring new thoughts, new schemes, new ideas to the table to help the development of your offense and to continue the forward thinking and the evolving of your offense?"
This issue with Loeffler isn't that he used to play with Tom Brady or anything like that. It's because the coach has had little recent experience with a top team in the NFL.
For a team competing for a Super Bowl, the Eagles should have gone with a veteran offensive mind and play-caller. The jury is still out on Loeffler, but it's clear that the fanbase is still riding high on their Super Bowl win before.
And it's why the Eagles need to hit the ground running next year - with the relationship between Hurts and the play-caller will need to be seamless.
