Eagles hire Donahoe as senior football advisor
The Philadelphia Eagles announced Thursday the hiring of Tom Donahoe as senior football advisor.
Donahoe, who previously headed personnel departments in Buffalo and Pittsburgh, replaces Phil Savage, who left the Eagles to run the Senior Bowl in his native Mobile, Ala.
The Eagles also announced a number of additions to the staff, including Ed Marynowitz as assistant director of pro scouting, Jake Hallum as senior scout and John Middlekauff as west coast area scout.
"We're very excited about the additions to our staff," Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said in a statement. "Obviously, Tom Donahoe and Jake Hallum bring with them a tremendous wealth of experience and they are eager to get started."
Later, Roseman said he had no plans to fill Ryan Grigson's old position as director of player personnel. Anthony Patch was recently promoted as director of college scouting and he has taken on most of Grigson's responsibilities with the Eagles.
Donahoe served as director of football operations in Pittsburgh from 1991-99 and as general manager and team president in Buffalo from 2001-05. He worked closely with former Eagles executive Tom Modrak in both Pittsburgh and Buffalo.
