I was doing some investigating on who we might consider. The Eagles' Jim Johnson is my guru, so I'm hoping for Sean McDermott. He might be able to bring along Otis Smith to be the Secondary coach. Perhaps Mike Caldwell could come along too. Their Special Teams Coordinator, Rory Segrest worked with Pete Jenkins at Auburn as a DL coach.

Another option for the DLine coach... I might have to pilfer from the Panthers.

Sam Mills III is the Defensive Quality Control coach and works with DL coach Sal Sunseri. The Defensive Coordinator, Mike Trgovac, was the DL coach in Philly in 1998, when McDermott started with the Eagles.
