Howard Eskin does not believe Bill Belichick is a candidate to replace Nick Sirianni as Philadelphia Eagles head coach, if Sirianni is indeed fired.
"Are there good coaches available?" Eskin said on Tuesday's 94WIP Midday Show with Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio. "And Belicheat is not one of them. And I can tell you this for a fact, Jeff Lurie is not a fan of Belicheat. I can tell you that. I know that."
"I'm just trying to tell you, he's not the guy. He's not the guy they like. Howie is not going to make this decision. It's going to be a decision among everybody...I am positive that the owner is not a big fan, he's not a big fan. He's not the guy."
This is a bit of a surprise, as Lurie, 72, is from Boston and grew up a New England Patriots fan.
Eskin was asked on a scale of one through 10—with 10 being he is definitely gone—where is he on the Nick Sirianni being fired scale.
"I'm a three, three meaning I think there is a better chance that he comes back, than he doesn't come back," Eskin said. "I think there is going to be a lot of changes in the coaching staff, there's no question about that...You can't make a rash, emotional decision."
Here are 13 potential head coaching replacements for Nick Sirianni, if he is fired.
