Eagles Seek New Offensive Coordinator: 12 Candidates to Succeed Kevin Patullo
As Nick Sirianni seeks a new offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, the organization is considering several candidates to fill this crucial role. This marks the fifth time Sirianni has had to search for an offensive coordinator since he took over as head coach in 2021. Previous coordinators have either moved to head-coaching positions or parted ways due to various reasons.
Eagles’ Attractive Offensive Coordinator Position
The Eagles present an appealing opportunity for potential candidates. With top-tier talent on the roster and a reputation for propelling coaches into significant roles, the chance to coordinate Philadelphia’s offense comes with high expectations. However, it also brings pressure and the need to work closely with a talented quarterback, Jalen Hurts, alongside an offensive-minded head coach.
Key Candidates to Succeed Kevin Patullo
Here are twelve names speculated to be in line to take over the offensive coordinator position:
Established Play-Callers
- Mike McDaniel – Former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, known for his creative offense that ranked near the top in scoring during his tenure.
- Brian Daboll – Previously coached the New York Giants, he has a strong connection to Sirianni, having worked together in Kansas City and with Hurts at Alabama.
- Kevin Stefanski – Former Cleveland Browns head coach, has experience with play-action and zone running games that may align well with the Eagles’ style.
- Kliff Kingsbury – Former Washington Commanders offensive coordinator, known for his innovative offensive schemes and previous head coaching experience.
- Todd Monken – Former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator, his offenses excelled in creating explosive plays during his time there.
Up-and-Coming Candidates
- Nate Scheelhaase – Currently the pass game coordinator with the Los Angeles Rams at just 35, he’s gaining recognition and considered a future play-caller.
- Jerrod Johnson – Houston Texans quarterbacks coach with ties to Sirianni, though he lacks extensive play-calling experience.
- Davis Webb – Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator, has shown potential for head-coaching roles.
- Josh McCown – Former Eagles quarterback and current Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach, admired within the organization.
- Tommy Rees – Former offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns, has previous experience with Sirianni from their time in San Diego.
Familiar Faces
- Frank Reich – Once the Eagles’ offensive coordinator during their Super Bowl run, he is very respected and has a strong relationship with Sirianni.
- Doug Nussmeier – Current offensive coordinator with the New Orleans Saints, although he hasn’t called plays recently, his ties to Hurts could benefit the Eagles.
The Eagles will likely weigh experience, coaching style, and personal connections heavily during this selection process. As Sirianni finalizes his choice, the new offensive coordinator will have the opportunity to shape the future of an exciting Eagles offense.
