From Schefty:

I know what you’re thinking. It’s something along the lines of “this guy stinks, why would anybody want him?” Surely spotting the Buccaneers a 17-point lead on Sunday doesn’t help his case for a head coaching gig.

It’s true that the Eagles didn’t beat any above-average quarterbacks this year, though they had road wins in Denver and Atlanta. They held San Francisco to 17 points and started stringing together stops in the playoff game, only for the offense to do diddly poo. Gannon did begin to evolve a bit over the course of the season. You saw less of that soft Cover 2 and more press man and single high safety. He’d mix in Genard Avery and throw that 3-3-5 stack-looking-thing at offenses on 3rd and long. I’ll give the guy the benefit of the doubt since the defensive personnel wasn’t exactly phenomenal. He had two stop-gap DBs, a below average linebacking corps, and a defensive line that lost Brandon Graham early on. I’m intrigued to see what Gannon can do with a few additions on that side of the ball. Get away from the soft stuff early in games, show a better plan from the jump, and be more competitive with better talent. That seems like the Posidelphia take on the matter.
