Ex-Oregon DC was sought by NFC East teams to combat Chip Kelly
Former Oregon Ducks defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti said on Monday that he's been contacted by NFC East teams that want hire him as a consultant to help them solve the Philadelphia Eagles' offense, John Canzano of the Oregonian reports.
Not an NFC East team --- every one of the NFC East teams.
"I have been asked by everybody in the NFC East..." the retired Aliotti said on Monday. "The Giants asked me to come back when Chip got the first job. I didn't feel right doing that. Some teams have called when they're getting ready to play the Eagles and they call and have certain questions on the thing. Unless I know the guy and he's a good friend, I don't get involved with that."
Aliotti, who coached alongside Eagles head coach Chip Kelly saw the offense every day in practice. He turned down the requests, he said, but Aliotti said he's talked scheme with some of his coaching friends such as USC defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, who played under Aliotti.
"Sometimes it's about scheme, sometimes it's about how you handle what's going on with a situation," Aliotti said. "I have quite a few good friends... mostly it's X's and O's or how you handle a situation or a player."
