The Eagles are 4-10-1 on the season and heading towards a likely top-5 pick, but the head coach believes he’ll be around to develop that player.
During his appearance on the 94.1 WIP Monday morning, the Eagles head coach made it clear that he’s confident and “fully expects” to return next season.
“I feel fully confident to be the head coach of the Eagles in 2021,” he said during his radio appearance on 94.1 WIP Monday morning. “The thing I’m most proud of, this football team, we have been in the postseason three of the last five years since I’ve been here, and that’s pretty good. We have won a championship here. We have gone through a season where a lot of our veteran guys are not playing due to injury. We are playing with a lot of young players.
“There is always going to be evaluation in the offseason, and my job is evaluated as well. But I fully expect to be the coach next season, and I welcome the opportunity to get things right, get things fixed and take this team into next season.”
The Eagles were the first team in the NFC East to be eliminated from postseason contention with their 37-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, after entering the 2020 season as an NFC favorite.
The franchise will now have a decision to make at quarterback after Carson Wentz’s disastrous season and Howie Roseman has decisions to make regarding an aging roster and a lowered salary cap.
