Eagles dismiss defensive coordinator Castillo after six games | News | NFL.com

Wow! Didn't see it coming this early

Bring him in as our secondary coach or something, our DB's need some proper coaching

La raza, not representing.

That's what happens when you decide to turn your offensive line coach into the defensive coordinator. That experiment lasted a couple of years too long.

Just WOW!

12th ranged D, 12th in PPG allowed, 4th in league in 3rd down conversions stopped.... and they let the DC go?

Just maybe it has something to do with Vics 9 fumbles, 8 interceptions, having a QB rating of 77.7 and a completion % of 58.9?

Week 6 and Vick has turned the ball over 14 times.

Yea.. its the Defense.

LOL!!!

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

Rankings are all fine and dandy but Castillo lost control of his players a long time ago. If you can't stop teams when it counts the most, those rankings are meaningless. They also had the same rankings the past handful of seasons prior to Castillo. Numbers aren't everything.

When you keep teams to an average of less than 21 points per game, its is an important defensive stat. I agree placement may be moot, but less than 1 TD per qtr is something we would give a left acorn for. Their defense may be having issues, their offense is the problem.. namely Vicks ball handling and declining QB skills.

I am curious as to what a new DC mid season will do for them the rest of the season.

Reid needs to control his locker room.

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

Wow... I could honestly see Reid getting fired if there isn't an immediate improvement in the form of consistent wins. This stinks of someone trying to cover their backside rather than address the problem... such as the 100+ million dollar QB who has been responsible with around twice as many turnovers as touchdowns on an offense with all-pro talent.

How about bench Vick ?

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

I have a friend who is a big Eagles fan, it's in his family. He is "normal" and an okay dude but his relatives and in-laws are all those classic, thick-necked, flat-headed, goon diehard Eagles fans with big Cro Magnon foreheads yelling at the TV all the time.

So I kinda keep up with the Eagles team, to be able to talk smack with my friend, and I did stop by an Eagles forum a couple of times to lurk over the past couple years and they seemed to really hate this guy.

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

I was thinking the same thing. I dunno what Castillo has to do with Ron Mexico's muy caliente turnover fiesta.

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

He's not the problem.

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

I was one of the ones saying before the season started I think it was last season, that this Eagles team would fail miserably.

#1 Signing anyone and every FA to whatever money they want.

#2 Making your OL Coach the D-Coordinator.......Seriously?

#3 Michael Vick having a good 2nd season on another team would be a miracle.

We see where it went.

They sure could use him right now.

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

Gotta love that Philly has hemorrhaged points since getting rid of Castillo. I can't be sad for them since the Saints killed them :).

Re: Eagles Defense coordinator Castillo Fired
 

PhilEagles, first team of season to start firing coaching staff and this is just November. Wow, very early. I agree with dizzzle.
PhilEagles should just keep who they have now and wait until the season is over. Who wants to go in and take on the position at this point. Sort of meaningless. Vick is still there and many other problems
I really do not have anything against PhilEagles. I just don't like Vick and thought he should have found another line of work after, you know.

That Cowboys loss Sunday probably punched Reid's ticket to the unemployment line. The Eagles are a mess, don't seem to be playing with any heart on either side of the ball. That house is due for a major cleaning.
