Wolverines Fan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/9666/john-defilippo I thought he deserved another season. He turned Fournette into an every down tailback. Foles didn't play well but was hurt most of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it seems odd that he wore out pretty quickly in the Vikings. Which I don't know how to interpret that well. But then he's worn out his welcome pretty early in Jacksonville too. I wonder if he might be just kind of a difficult dude or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story by Marcus Hayes If nothing else, the story paints an interesting picture of Philly’s perceived offensive messiah. By the end of his second season, DeFilippo’s talent had been well-documented, but his act had worn thin. Yes, he was a workaholic taskmaster. Yes, he’d helped Pederson and Reich transform Carson Wentz from an FCS star into an MVP favorite in less than two seasons. Yes, he’d helped resurrect Nick Foles, who went from injured training-camp backup to Super Bowl MVP, and he’d transformed Nate Sudfeld from practice-squad nobody into a viable playoff backup. But Flip didn’t exactly fit in with Pederson’s “emotionally intelligent” team model. He was a self-promoting ladder-climber as focused on becoming an NFL head coach as coaching quarterbacks. This didn’t make DeFilippo unique in the NFL, or even in the building — the defensive coordinator’s no shrinking violet — but the departure of John DeFilippo from Philadelphia was not universally bemoaned at the NovaCare Complex.
