Why Spagnuolo chose Saints over the Eagles

Eagles, Falcons, Colts, Bucs and Vikings.

So...Philadelphia, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Tampa, or Minneapolis...or New Orleans?

When you consider that the Saints are a powerhouse right now...and then you throw in the climate, po-boys, gumbo, Gulf of Mexico, oysters both raw and fried,...to name just a very few...

no-brainer

Also, NO gives him the best opportunity to shine as a DC and to secure another HC job at some point in the future.

PHI would've also been an interesting choice given that Reid has been skating on thin ice for a few seasons now, and if he was to be fired, they might promote from inside the organization - and then Spags might have gotten his second go-around as a HC.

Still, NO was his best choice at fame & glory.

Here's an interesting take on the subject - though not sure how accurate.

I'd read that elswhere too. Could be some truth to it. Too many chiefs, not enough indians?

I'm really surprised if Reid can stand to have another sup-par season and keep his job, but then again it's the Eagles.
