The Bears also had Arians and Bevell on their short list. If you are going to get a CFL coach, might as well get one from the Montreal Alouettes (best team name in that league???)
I especially like #2 as Spuds comments enthusiastically "Our Number 2 play, Alex Henery, with the game on the line!" Nothing like that preseason drama.
Does this mean Juan Castillo has a better shot retaining his position? We all know "How Andy feels about Juan" and it looks like he'll still be carrying a lot of influence throughout the organization. I suppose only time will tell...
Even amidst the turd sandwich that is the 2011 season, I think we all can appreciate this.

Cue the JasonB/JimmyK analysis and reaction.
Why this is good: Akers knows how to drill home kick after kick. Why this is bad: Akers HAS to drill home kick after kick due to the Eagles' Red Zone woes.
He brings a very refreshing perspective. It's well worth the read for Eagles fans...or anyone else for that matter.
Except for you Arizona...you're not allowed to sit at the cool kids table.
