By now, New York Giants fans know that Shurmur spent significant time cutting his teeth with the hated Philadelphia Eagles. Actually, Shurmur had two stints with the Birds. The first one started in 1999 and lasted through the 2008 NFL season. He coached the Eagles tight ends, offensive line and quarterbacks during that period.
Shurmur then returned as offensive coordinator when Chip Kelly took over the reins in Philadelphia in 2013. That run ended in 2015. It may be a toss-up if Eagles fans hate Kelly or the Giants more. But those feelings emanate for different reasons.
