#Eagles slated to interview Saints DC Dennis Allen tomorrow, per @JasonLaCanfora. Jeffrey Lurie is clearly taking advantage of opportunity to meet with array of coaches, and that only one of other team has a HC opening.
But don’t want to wait forever as staff needs to be hired.

Jeffrey Lurie made it clear that the Eagles wouldn’t rush to hire a head coach and another name has been added to the list of candidates.
Rush off a stint with one of the NFL’s fiercest defenses, Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will interview on Wednesday.
Through the first 12 games of the 2020 regular season, Allen has his defensive unit at or near the top of the NFL in most defensive statistics. The Saints were ranked No. 1 in total defense (288.5 yards per game), No. 2 in rush defense (76.1), No. 4 in pass defense (212.8), and No. 5 in scoring defense (20.1 points per game) through the first 12 weeks.
Per Nola.com, Saints’ linebacker Demario Davis called Allen one of the smartest coaches he’s ever worked with.
Now Allen has the chance to impress Jeffrey Lurie.
