PHILADELPHIA - Those of us who’ve been around the block a time or two quickly got a nostalgic feeling when meeting the Eagles’ new inside linebackers coach Bobby King.The gruff 15-year assistant coach arrives in Philadelphia through a relationship he had with Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni dating back to when the two were together on Mike McCoy’s staff in San Diego from 2014 to 2016.
“You ask him anything and he's always studying the game,” King said of his new boss. “He appreciates the past. I think that's a lost art with people my age. I'm getting up there too. But guys, my age don't even know the history. It's embarrassing.”“He appreciates the history of the game, guys that laid the groundwork for us,” King said.
Dick Butkus, an eight-time All-Pro and two-time Defensive Player of the Year with the Chicago Bears from the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s in King’s No. 1 but the coach has evolved enough to understand that you can’t go searching for a player like that in 2024.
