While the names Chip Kelly, Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher continue to spark conversation on 97.5 The Fanatic and in the blogosphere in Philadelphia, it simply is not Jeffrey Lurie’s MO to tab proven, pedigree Head Coaches to lead his football team.

While those names certainly bring intrigue and a track record of success, it is worth nothing that the names such as Gruden and Cowher come with the ominous distinction that no Super Bowl winning coach has ever gone on to win a second Lombardi Trophy in a new town.

For that reason, the finances and more, it appears that Lurie will likely to scour the coaching market for up and coming position coaches or coordinators to replace Andy Reid at season’s end. After all, that was his methodology when hiring former 49ers Defensive Coordinator Ray Rhodes upon dismissing Rich Kotite in 1995 and again in 1999 when Reid was brought to the city of Brotherly Love following his tenure as Packers quarterbacks coach.
