Is Louis Riddick a Philly guy?

He’s a Quakertown native who went to Pennridge, then unfortunately played his college football for the Pitt Panthers. Riddick held gigs as a Washington and Philly scout and worked his way up to Eagles Director of Pro Personnel before joining ESPN as an analyst.

Now he looks to be getting back into the front office side of things:

ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Louis Riddick is interviewing today for the Houston Texans’ general manager job, sources tell @mortreport and me. Riddick then is scheduled to interview Friday for the Lions’ GM job.

Hell yeah, why not? Riddick would be good for those jobs. He knows his stuff. He’s got the experience and will command respect as a former NFL player.

If it doesn’t work out with the Texans or Lions, I can think of another team that could probably use a new GM. It rhymes with “Beagles.”
