Howie Roseman To Head Personnel Department, Run By Tom Donahoe
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said on Wednesday -- less than 24 hours after firing Chip Kelly -- that Howie Roseman will resume overseeing the Eagles' personnel department in a "collaborative effort," just one year after he was forced to give up those powers.
Tom Donahoe, a former GM of the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers who joined the Eagles in 2012 a senior advisor, will handle the day-to-day personnel decisions.
"Howie Roseman will remain as executive vice president in charge of football operations," Lurie explained. "Tom Donahoe will run the day-to-day player personnel department, which is a crucial hire and a crucial position in terms of player personnel. Howie will be responsible for making sure our player personnel department is as good as it gets in the NFL and be accountable for that. And that's the pretty much the way it would go.
"Our new head coach, executive vice president of football operations, and our player personnel head -- they're all partners to collaborate. That's the structure."
