Eagles hire Billy Davis as new defensive boss

[whitney777]

Eagles hired Browns LB coach Billy Davis as defensive coordinator.
After a long search for an aggressive proponent of the 3-4, the Eagles finally found their man. Prior to his two-year stint in Cleveland, Davis unsuccessfully coordinated the Cardinals' defense from 2009-2010 and held the same position in San Francisco from 2005-06 before getting ousted. He's been in the NFL as a defensive assistant since 1992, coaching the 3-4 scheme almost exclusively. In Philly, Davis will be charged with turning around a defense that ranked 30th in points allowed and tied for dead last in turnovers forced. It's not the splashy defensive hire many expected when offensive guru Chip Kelly landed the head-coaching gig.

Seems like he was mediocre in most of the places he was the DC, not sure if tis is the best hire or not, but who knows. With all the "talent" the eagles, on paper, have it really shouldn't matter who they hire but it sure seems like it does.
