Doug Pederson opens up on the process of reorganizing the Eagles coaching staff

Doug Pederson opens up about the Eagles new coaching hires

It took more time than fans and analysts would have liked, but Doug Pederson and the Philadelphia Eagles retooled their coaching staff and the head guy in charge believes he did a solid job.

Shortly before departing for Indianapolis and the NFL Scouting Combine, Pederson sat down with Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro for a discussion on coaching changes, Nigel Bradham’s departure and the most pressing needs for his team going forward.

Pederson was honest in admitting that he was patient with his hires, but he believes the due diligence will pay off in the results.

“I wanted to spend (time) and do my due diligence with this next round of hires and felt like I did a really good job. Obviously, we’ll see once we get back out on the football field, but I’m excited for the guys.”

Pederson harped on and highlighted the additions of Marquand Manuel (Db coach), Matt Burke (DL coach), Jeremiah Washburn (director of player personnel/senior defensive assistant) Andrew Breiner (pass game analyst), Rich Scangarello (senior offensive assistant) and Press Taylor’s promotion to the passing game coordinator.

He admitted that offensively, it’ll be a collaborative offense from a game-planning standpoint, with Taylor having more of his “fingerprints” on a weekly basis.

All in all, the moves were solid and the coaching additions should benefit Carson Wentz and the Eagles offense the most.

Ex-Broncos OC Rich Scangarello expected to join Eagles’ coaching staff

The Eagles are expected to hire former Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello.

Three weeks after being fired by the Broncos, Rich Scangarello appears set to land with a new NFL team.

Scangarello, who served as Denver’s offensive coordinator in 2019, is expected to join the Eagles’ offensive staff, according to a report from NFL Network (via Eagles Wire). Scangarello’s title in Philadelphia is not yet known.

Scangarello, 47, coached under Kyle Shanahan with the Falcons (quality control, 2015) and 49ers (quarterbacks, 2017-2018) before being hired by the Broncos last year. Denver’s offense finished in the bottom five of the NFL in points, yards, third-down percentage and red-zone percentage in 2019.

After moving on from Scangarello, the Broncos hired former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur to be their new offensive coordinator. Denver also hired New York’s former offensive coordinator — Mike Shula — to serve as the team’s new quarterbacks coach.

The Broncos are not scheduled to play the Eagles in 2020 but they will play them in 2021. View the team’s 2020 opponents here.

Eagles will not hire an offensive coordinator to replace Mike Groh

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to announce some changes to the coaching staff, but the one announcement you won’t hear is the hiring of a new offensive coordinator.

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to announce some changes to the coaching staff, but the one announcement you won’t hear is the hiring of a new offensive coordinator.

The Eagles have reportedly named Press Taylor as the team’s pass game coordinator, while Jeff Stoutland will continue to coach the offensive line and be the run game coordinator.

After naming Taylor to his new position, the Eagles also brought in Rich Scangarello, the Broncos former offensive coordinator.

According to Tim McManus of ESPN.com, the Eagles will employ a system of coaches, but there won’t a formal offensive coordinator.

Likely impressed with the model the 49ers employed on the way to the Super Bowl. The 49ers have a passing game coordinator (Mike LaFleur) and running game coordinator (Mike McDaniel) who works alongside play-caller Kyle Shanahan in unison.

The results were a perfect mixture of smash-mouth, zone running plays, mixed in with play-action and a timely passing game.

The Philadelphia Eagles are making moves on this Wednesday afternoon, promoting Press Taylor to the passing game coordinator while adding to new offensive assistants to the staff who bring years of innovative experience.

The Eagles have reportedly hired former Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello and Andrew Breiner as well.

Here are three things to know about Scangarello and his deep offensive background:

***

1. Scangarello has a background with Kyle Shanahan, which should excite some Eagles fans looking for further offensive innovation. Scangarello excels in the run game with pre-snap motion and misdirection that Shanahan’s 49ers team performs so well.

Former Broncos OC Rich Scangarello to join Eagles staff as Press Taylor is named passing game coordinator

Eagles add Rich Scangarello to the offensive coaching staff

The Philadelphia Eagles just promoted Press Taylor to the role of passing game coordinator and according to Tim McManus and Tom Pelissero, the Birds are set to add multiple offensive coaches to the staff.

Former Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello and former Mississippi State pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Andrew Breiner are also set to join the Eagles staff.

Scangarello was the Broncos player caller in 2019 and was the quarterback’s coach for the 49ers for the two previous seasons. Breiner was the head coach at Fordham for two seasons before moving to Mississippi State.

Broncos hire Mike Shula as new quarterbacks coach

The Broncos have hired Mike Shula to be their new quarterbacks coach.

The Denver Broncos have hired former New York Giants offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Mike Shula to be their new quarterbacks coach, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Denver had an opening at the position after moving on from T.C. McCartney, who coached the team’s quarterbacks in 2019.

This marks the second change to the offensive coaching staff the Broncos have made this offseason. Earlier this month, Denver fired offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello and replaced him with former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur. The Broncos then fired McCartney, clearing the way for Shula to follow Shurmur to Denver.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio clearly wanted to make improving the team’s offense a priority this offseason.

Shula, 54, is the son of former coach Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history. Don Shula won the Associated Press’ Coach of the Year award four times during his 35 years as a coach.

Mike Shula has been coaching in the NFL since 1988. Before a two-year run with the Giants from 2018-2019, Shula coached the Carolina Panthers’ quarterbacks (2011-2012) and then was their offensive coordinator (2013-2017). He has served as a QBs coach or offensive coordinator for five NFL teams.

Playing under Shula last season, New York quarterback Daniel Jones completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 3,027 yards with 24 touchdowns against 12 interceptions in 12 starts. Shula will now get to work with Denver’s young quarterback, Drew Lock, who won four of the five games he started last season.

Broncos interview Mike Shula for quarterbacks coach opening

The Broncos are interviewing Mike Shula for their open quarterbacks coach position.

When the Broncos fired offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, they had a replacement candidate in mind: former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur. When they team fired quarterbacks coach T.C. McCartney, they probably had a replacement in mind for him, too, likely from Shurmur’s former staff.

Former New York offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Mike Shula is in Denver interviewing for the team’s open QBs coach position, according to multiple media reports. Ryan O’Halloran of The Denver Post was the first to report the news Thursday.

Shula, 54, was likely the Broncos’ top choice for the job after they brought in Shurmur. Shula, the son of legendary NFL coach Don Shula, coached under Shurmur with the Giants over the last two seasons.

Before landing in New York, Shula served as the Panthers’ quarterbacks coach (2011-2012) and offensive coordinator (2013-2017). Under Shula, Carolina quarterback Cam Newton had a career year in 2015, claiming league MVP honors after scoring 45 total touchdowns.

More recently, Shula worked with Giants quarterback Daniel Jones in 2019. Jones completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 3,027 yards with 24 touchdowns against 12 interceptions in 13 games last season. He threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns in three different games.

Shula is clearly the favorite to become Denver’s next QBs coach.

Ex-Broncos OC Rich Scangarello to interview for Browns’ opening

Former Broncos offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello will interview for the Browns’ open offensive coordinator position.

After being fired by the Broncos last week, offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello might land on his feet quickly.

Scangarello will interview with the Browns for their open offensive coordinator position, according to a report from Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Scangarello will be interviewing to potentially join the staff of new head coach Kevin Stefanski, who was hired last week.

Scangarello comes from the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree and spent just one year as Denver’s offensive coordinator before being fired. Broncos coach Vic Fangio replaced Scangarello with Pat Shurmur, who served as the Giants’ head coach from 2018-2019.

After firing quarterbacks coach T.C. McCartney, Denver might target former Giants offensive coordinator/QBs coach Mike Shula. New York has hired former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett to be their new offensive coordinator, which means Shula won’t return for the 2020 season.

Shula coached under Shurmur with the Giants over the last two years. He is the son of Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history.

Watch Dalton Risner find out who his new offensive coordinator is

Broncos guard Dalton Risner found out from a reporter who his new offensive coordinator will be next season.

Before the Broncos officially hired offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur on Tuesday afternoon, KMGH-TV’s Troy Renck spoke with offensive lineman Dalton Risner about the team’s offensive coaching changes.

Risner didn’t even know Shurmur was going to be the new hire.

“Who?” Risner asked when Renck mentioned having a new offensive coordinator. “What? Wait, who’s Pat Shurmur? No way! I had no idea! Isn’t that crazy?” Risner said with a big smile.

Risner apparently isn’t very familiar with Shurmur but he had good things to say about Rich Sangarello, who was fired on Sunday.

“I’m just on Twitter yesterday and I see that my offensive coordinator was fired and I liked the guy,” Risner said. “So that was a huge bummer. You know, I loved Rich Scangarello and I thought he did a hell of a job and thought he did a lot of great things.

“You just told me who my new offensive coordinator was, I had no idea. I’m getting a quick taste of what it’s like to be in the big leagues.”

Risner was selected by Denver in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft. He started all 16 games last season and earned PFWA and PFF All-Rookie Team honors after allowing 2.5 sacks in his first year as a pro.
