The Philadelphia Eagles are hard at work trying to find their next head coach after firing Chip Kelly just two weeks ago. There have been reports that they will interview former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin on Monday, but there is another report that says they may have been looking towards the college world once again.
A few weeks ago, Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin stated that he has been “trying hard” to land an NFL job. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Eagles took him up on that offer as they pursued Sumlin for their opening, but he also said that Sumlin prefers to stay in the college ranks.

Sumlin has no experience at the NFL level and has had some good success in the collegiate ranks. He has racked up a 71-33 record in eight seasons with two different schools, so maybe him staying with the Aggies would be the best choice.
What do you think, Eagles fans? Would you like to see another coach leave their college to take over your team?
