This actually sounds terrible to me. His offenses were mediocre in Cleveland.
Yeah I'm not sure why this is considered a good hire. Seemed like were were going outside the box and then this? Meh. Don't one anyone that had anything to do with the old system.

I'm okay with it. Kelly's calling the plays anyway.
He needs someone experienced to diagnose things from the booth
^^^^ This. Shurmer's just a guy who's been around with experience. He'll be used as a consultant and helper with diagnosing. Chip will be calling all the plays here.
Agreed. if you want an NFL veteran as OC - Shurmur is the best fit atm. If you want an OC who will become help start a new coaching tree, Phillip Montgomery from Baylor is a top candidate. Amazing mentors, tremendous playcalling experience, major developer of talentl; and RGIII's coach. If we want a candidate who will help us battle the strongest QB in our division, the guy who coached him would be a huge asset.
While cynics whine about what the Eagles haven't done. Real Eagle fans focus on what we should do.

Also via footballscoop.com, Bob Bicknell and Bill McGovern are expected to join the Eagles' staff.
Bicknell was the WRs coach for Buffalo last season but has also coached OL and TEs. Seems like a good guy to be teaching the WRs how to block, really important in Kelly's offense.
McGovern was the defensive coordinator/LBs coach for Boston College although this past season he was just the LBs coach. Probably the LBs coach.
It's okay to get these college guys as position coaches, but I'd really like to see them hire someone like Romeo Crennel to oversee the defense.
WHAT????? Say it isn't so!!! We won't have WR Coach Culley anymore???? Things going to go to hell now...
