Sean McDermott's Job is Not on the Line, Yet

There has been a ton of speculation about whether or not Sean McDermott is on the hot seat after the Eagles' secondary got torched in the second half of Sunday’s game.

Andy Reid defended McDermott, at least publicly.  [Philly Sports Daily]

“I’ll tell you what, I thought Sean had a heck of a game plan, man. Doggone, that’s a good football team right there.  For three quarters, we had it right there.  I thought he put together a good game plan. I thought the guys executed, they were fired up and flying around.”

Doggone, they may have been flying around, but they couldn’t have covered a bandwagon Phillies fan with an Ill shirt on Sunday (HEYYO!)

Tim McManus compares McDermott’s pass defense to his predecessor’s.  Everyone assumed that McDermott would be a genius because he studied under Jim Johnson.  That’s turning out to not be the case, folks.
