The team improved on their previous win total by finishing with a record of 6–8. Offseason Joe Kuharich was hired as head coach of the Eagles after leaving the University of Notre Dame. He is still the only head coach with a lifetime losing record while coaching there, going 17–23 in four years. Owner Jerry Wolman gave Kuharich a fourteen-year, $1 million contract, and then traded future Hall of Famers Sonny Jurgensen and Tommy McDonald to the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles sent Lee Roy Caffey and their 1965 first round draft pick to the Packers. Earl Gros and Pro Bowler and Hall of Fame member Jim Ringo were acquired during Ringo's 1964 contract talks with Green Bay. NFL draft The 1964 NFL draft and the 1964 AFL draft were two different drafts held by their respective leagues. The NFL draft was held on December 2, 1963; its teams could draft any eligible player coming out of college. The AFL draft was held on November 30, 1963; it had territorial picks during the early rounds. These picks were players who lived in, or attended college, in certain areas, and was possibly the reason why the Eagles second round pick (sixteenth pick), was the AFL's first pick during the draft. Some players made arrangements with AFL leaders to sign if certain teams drafted them; some signed contracts as soon as their last college games were over (on the field or in the parking lot). The NFL Draft lasted twenty rounds with fourteen teams picking. The Eagles had the second pick in those rounds and picked eighteen players. The overall pick in the draft was Dave Parks, an end from Texas Tech. The Eagles choose future Hall of Fame member Bob Brown, an offensive tackle from Nebraska. There were ten Hall of Fame members chosen during this draft, four of whom were chosen in the first round. The Dallas Cowboys had two, selecting Bob Hayes in the seventh round and Roger Staubach in the tenth round; however, Staubach was required to serve a four-year military obligation in the United States Navy before he could play NFL football because he was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy. = Pro Bowler Players are identified as a Pro Bowler if they were selected for the Pro-Bowl at any time in their careers.= AFL All-StarPlayers are identified as an All-Star if they were selected for the All-Star team at any time in their careers.= Hall of Famer Rd PICKPLAYERPOS SCHOOLAFLRdPickSigned 1 2 Bob Brown HOFTackleNebraska Eagles 2 16 Jack ConcannonQuarterbackBoston CollegeBoston 1 1 Eagles 3 30 Trade to Detroit Lions 4 46Ray KubalaCenterTexas A&M Denver 7 49 Denver 5 58 Mickey BabbEndGeorgia Oakland 13 103 6 72 Al DensonEndFlorida A&M Denver 6 47 Denver 7 86 Pete GoimaracCenterWest Virginia San Diego 5 36 8 100 Traded To New York Giants 9 114 Larry SmithBackMississippi 10 128 Tom BorisBackPurdue 11 142 Bob Berry QuarterbackOregon Denver26 201 Acquired by Minnesota 12 156 John SapinskyTackleWilliam & Mary Oakland 7 55 13 170 Howard KindigCenterCal State-Los Angeles San Diego 14 112 San Diego 14 184 Ernie ArizziBackMaryland 15 198 Bob BurrowsTackleEast Texas State Kansas City 21 162 16 212 Will RadosevichTackleWyoming New York 22 171 17 226 Mike MorganEndLouisiana State Eagles 18 240 Izzy LangRunning backTennessee State Eagles 19 254 Dick BoweTackleRice Houston 25 198 20 268 Tommy LucasGuardMississippi San Diego 25 200 Personnel Staff / Coaches 1964 Philadelphia Eagles Principal / Majority Owner – Jerry Wolman General manager – Vince McNally Head coach - Joe Kuharich Offensive Coordinator / Receivers - Herman Ball Offensive Assistant - Mike Nixon Offensive Line – Dick Stanfel Defensive Coordinator - Dick Evans Defensive Backs / Secondary – Fred Bruney Roster 1964 Philadelphia Eagles  3 Jack Concannon y 10 King Hill 16 Norm Snead 22 Timmy Brown 34 Earl Gros 29 Izzy Lang y 33 Ollie Matson 37 Tom Woodeshick 32 Roger Gill y American football 81 Ron Goodwin American football 25 Red Mack 35 Ray Poage 44 Pete Retzlaff 85 Ralph Smith American football 64 Ed Blaine G 76 Bob Brown offensive lineman T y 67 Pete Case G 78 Dave Graham T American football 63 Lynn Hoyem G 54 Jim Ringo C 51 Jim Schrader C 70 Jim Skaggs T 74 Riley Gunnels DE 73 Ed Khayat DT 75 John Meyers American football DT 72 Floyd Peters DT 68 Bobby Richards DE 82 George Tarasovic DE 84 Don Thompson DE defensive end 55 Maxie Baughan OLB 43 Ralph Heck OLB 83 Don Hultz MLB 52 Dave Lloyd American football MLB 89 Mike Morgan linebacker, born 1942 OLB y 45 Don Burroughs FS 23 Claude Crabb CB/S 22 Irv Cross CB 49 Glenn Glass SS 24 Nate Ramsey CB 21 Joe Scarpati SS y 38 Sam Baker kicker K/P Terry Kosens S IR Chuck Lamson S IR Jerry Mazzanti DE Military no Mike McClellan no CB/S Military Regular season Schedule Week Date Opponent Result Record Venue Attendance Recap 1 September 13 New York Giants W 38–7 1–0 Franklin Field 60,671 Recap 2 September 20 San Francisco 49ers L 24–28 1–1 Franklin Field 57,353 Recap 3 September 27 Cleveland Browns L 28–20 1–2 Franklin Field 60,671 Recap 4 October 4 Pittsburgh Steelers W 21–7 2–2 Franklin Field 59,354 Recap 5 October 11 at Washington Redskins L 20–35 2–3 DC Stadium 49,219 Recap 6 October 18 at New York Giants W 23–17 3–3 Yankee Stadium 62,978 Recap 7 October 25 at Pittsburgh Steelers W 34–10 4–3 Pitt Stadium 38,393 Recap 8 November 1 Washington Redskins L 10–21 4–4 Franklin Field 60,671 Recap 9 November 8 at Los Angeles Rams L 10–20 4–5 Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 53,994 Recap 10 November 15 at Dallas Cowboys W 17–14 5–5 Cotton Bowl 55,972 Recap 11 November 22 St. Louis Cardinals L 13–38 5–6 Franklin Field 60,671 Recap 12 November 29 at Cleveland Browns L 24–38 5–7 Cleveland Municipal Stadium 79,289 Recap 13 December 6 Dallas Cowboys W 24–14 6–7 Franklin Field 60,671 Recap 14 December 13 at St. Louis Cardinals L 34–36 6–8 Busch Stadium I 24,636 Recap Note: Intra-conference opponents are in bold text.
