Next Eagles defensive coordinator?

A top defensive coordinator now available:

Sources say the #Giants and DC Don “Wink” Martindale are parting ways.

Wink Martindale is resigning as defensive coordinator of the Giants, per source. His relationship with Brian Daboll a big part of the divorce.

Martindale should have options elsewhere. The Giants two most recent opponents, the Rams and Eagles, spoke glowingly of his scheme.

I’m not even joking. Wink is an aggressive blitzer. He’s a veteran. Bringing him in would satisfy the Buddy Ryan portion of the Eagles fan base that hates two deep safeties and wants to get after the quarterback on every play. Send the house! Cover 0! Anyone but Matt Patricia. Patricia can take a hike or go back upstairs, and by upstairs I mean the top floor of the Comcast building, or the Space Needle if they’re playing in Seattle.
