Eagles Offseason Targets: Willie Young

The Philadelphia Eagles organization has been uptunded in the wake of Chip Kelly’s firing, however, hopes of newfound stability have flickered in recent days, as it has been announced that Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator –and former Eagles quarterback and quarterback’s coach– Doug Pederson will soon be hired as the franchise’s 23rd head coach. Pederson’s introduction poses an impetus for what is sure to be a massive turnover in scheme and philosophy on both sides of the ball. Moreover, Pederson’s relative inexperience as an NFL coach in general dictates that he, or more likely the front office, should assemble a seasoned cast of veteran coaches to ease his transition into his first head coaching gig, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
