The Eagles? head coaching search committee met for about six hours Tuesday evening with Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley at owner Jeff Lurie?s Main Line mansion with no deal announced when the meeting ended at about 10 p.m.
?
There was no comment from the Eagles following Bradley?s second meeting in four days with Lurie, president Don Smolenski and general manager Howie Roseman.
?
Bradley, considered the leading candidate to replace Andy Reid, is still scheduled to meet with the Jaguars about their head coaching opening in Jacksonville on Wednesday, and there was no word that their meeting had been cancelled.
Bradley was scheduled to spend the evening in Philadelphia, so there is a possibility of additional talks on Wednesday morning.
?
If that meeting occurs, it could be a sign that the Eagles and Bradley are not that close to a deal, but it could also simply be a sign that Bradley promised Jaguars officials he would meet with them before making a final decision.
?
If that meeting is canceled, it will be a strong sign that Bradley and the Eagles are likely to reach a contract agreement that would make Bradley the 20th head coach in franchise history.
?
With the Chargers hiring Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, it appears that Bradley?s options are down to the Eagles, the Jaguars and returning to Seattle.
?
The Jaguars are also believed to be interested in 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, a Ventnor native who can?t interview until the 49ers? season ends.
?
Bradley, who was an assistant coach on the Division II level just six years ago, led the Seahawks to the first No. 1 ranking in scoring defense this year in his fourth year as defensive coordinator.
?
Bradley left Seattle?s Boeing Airfield at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday aboard Lurie?s private jet, a Cessna Citation X. He landed at Northeast Philadelphia Airport at 2:25 p.m. and was transported to Lurie?s home for what the Eagles described as a continuation of his short -- approximately two-hour -- meeting in Atlanta on Saturday.
?
Although the Eagles have interviewed 11 candidates, information from various league sources indicates that the Eagles are honing in on Bradley and former NFL head coaches Lovie Smith, Brian Billick and Ken Whisenhunt, all of whom they interviewed in the past week.
?
Reid was fired on Dec. 31, one day after the team finished the season 4-12. The Eagles haven?t won a playoff game since 2008.
