Seems like a reasonable fit given his experience and the fact that he won't actually be calling plays.

The fact that there hasn't been a ton of news coming out on the DC front makes me think Cullen is the guy they want to talk to, but they have to wait until Monday to do it.

 

[Allweatherfan]

Im wondering if there is an OC candidate that we are also waiting for

Chiefs news: Joe Cullen could have job offers to leave Kansas City

The Chiefs defensive line coach is a favored candidate for multiple coordinator roles.

"As for Cullen, he won't be leading a team but he might find himself back as a coordinator for the first time since joining the Chiefs. Andy Reid first brought Cullen in back in 2022 to coach the defensive line after a year as defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. His work with George Karlaftis and Chris Jones, among others, has made him a popular coach among his players."


Seahawks have been linked to wanting Cullen, but the Commanders as well. Hopefully the Seahawks will continue to outbid the Commanders

A guy who worked with Spags would be a nice addition imo.

Yes it would. We would in theory be combining elements from 2 of the top defenses in the league in getting Cullen and Mike around the table (to say nothing for Frazier) to scheme up our defensive identity.

Is it correct that we retained Karl Scott?

Is it correct that we retained Karl Scott?

I think that was the most recent reporting, but I also saw reports that he was expected to join the Eagles. Not sure what the final word is.

Cullen can coach defensive trenches and he would be a great addition for the Hawks if it happens.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

No objection here.

 

[Hawknight]

I believe so, he was expected

Is it correct that we retained Karl Scott?

Not so fast — Karl Scott reportedly not joining Eagles staff after all - Yahoo Sports

After a report that Karl Scott was expected to join the Eagles coaching staff, it sounds like that's not happening after all.

Aside from the Chip Kelley talk we're hearing rumors of, if Cullen is the one we are waiting out for which I speculate is the case. Add the fact that we will have to pay Geno in about 8 days or less, that we will most likely run with Geno for this next season, unless the OC is hired immediately and the decision to can Geno is made. There is about 4 days after the Super Bowl if I am correct which doesn't give the OC much time to evaulate, unless MM goes ahead and make the decision and this was a behind the scenes discussion during the interview process.

I see a repeat to the end of Hass days.
