In a move that screams “we couldn’t find any self-respecting exec with experience to be Chip’s underling, so we hired the young guy we already had,” the Eagles have found their new “GM” from in-house.

Ed Marynowitz, whose role was assistant director of player personnel, is now Chip Kelly’s Vice President of Player Personnel. Before his tenure with the Eagles, Marynowitz was Nick Saban’s director of recruiting and payroll at Alabama.

So what do we know about this dude? Marynowitz is a young guy. He’s around Kyle’s age, which has Kyle acting like a big, self-conscious bitch:

I am older than the Eagles’ new VP or personnel. I feel so inadequate right now.

Or.

He played Quarterback at La Salle University in the early 2000s and is a native of Media– home of the late, great Harry Kalas, and a hip, liberal vibe. Reuben Frank points out Marynowitz’s name is pronounced “MAN-oh-witz,” but don’t expect to hear it from any call-ins on 97.5 or WIP that way. And it’s likely his actual powers will be limited to “giving Chip Kelly advice” or “nodding his head in agreement.”

Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm.
