It's a question a lot of fans have been asking: Why weren't the Eagles interested in Hue Jackson?

Well, according to a report, the Eagles eventually did show some interest in one of the hotter names on the coaching market.

NFL Network's Mike Silver, in the wake of the news that Jackson would be heading to Cleveland to be the Browns' new head coach, tweeted this: "If you're an Eagles fan who wanted Hue: Your team at least put in a call, albeit very late in the process"

It's unclear how late the call came in and how much real interest the Eagles had in the Bengals' offensive coordinator and former Raiders head coach.

A likely reason the Eagles weren't very interested in Jackson was the matter of personnel control. The Eagles gave up a ton of control to their last head coach, Chip Kelly, with disastrous results.

According to FoxSports' Mike Garafolo, a reason the Browns were a contender for Jackson was because they offered a big say in personnel control. That is something the Eagles don't seem ready to give to any head coach they hire this time around.
