Philadelphia Eagles Take Another Look at Giants Interim Head Coach Mike Kafka for OC Job.
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to interview New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka for their open offensive coordinator position, according to a report from ESPN. A former quarterback himself, Kafka was drafted by the Eagles in the 4th round of the 2010 draft and went on to bounce around with seven different teams over six seasons before turning to a coaching career.
Kafka's coaching resume boasts experience as an assistant coach with both Kansas City Chiefs and Giants franchises. He held key positions such as quarterbacks coach, passing game coordinator, and offensive coordinator under the likes of Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, where he played a significant role in developing his talent.
However, it is worth noting that his overall track record has been somewhat mixed. In 2022, Kafka's Giants offense struggled to find its footing, finishing with just 15 points and 18 yards per game. Things didn't get much better in 2023 and 2025, as the Giants offense managed a meager 30 points and 29 yards per game respectively.
Despite his lackluster statistics, Kafka remains an intriguing candidate for Eagles' OC job, particularly given his experience working under a high-profile quarterback like Patrick Mahomes. With Daboll's coaching tenure ending early in 2025, it appears the Giants are giving him one last shot as head coach – and potentially grooming him to be their next long-term leader.

... i mean he was a decent QB back in the day but his coaching career has been kinda meh so far... 15 points and 18 yards per game under the Giants? that's rough 
... but hey at least he's got experience working with Mahomes, which is a plus 
... the thing is, he did get canned by Daboll early this year 
... so idk man, i'm not sold on him being their next OC just yet 
It just goes to show that they're not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to coaching hires. I mean, you've got a guy who's been around the block a few times, played the game at the highest level, and now he's being considered for one of the most important jobs in the league? It's like the old saying goes - "You can't teach this stuff, but you can hire people to do it!" 
15 points and 18 yards per game in 2022? That's gotta be a concern. And last season was only slightly better 
. He does have experience working under Patrick Mahomes, but that doesn't necessarily translate to being a great OC himself 
. Maybe they should consider someone with more proven success? 
He has some crazy experience under Patrick Mahomes but his stats with the Giants aren't exactly inspiring 
On the other hand, he might bring some new perspective to Philly's offense and who knows, maybe he can turn it around 
It's not like the Eagles don't need a shake-up in their OC position anyway 
but at the same time, his stats with the giants haven't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard 
giants offense in 2022: 15.1 ppg, 18.3 ypg ( lowest in the nfl)
what's been driving kafka's offense? 55% passing attempts, 45% running attempts... but hey, at least the yards per game are up from last year 
i think kafka would be a sick fit for the eagles! 
he's got that quarterback experience under patrick mahomes, which is like, super valuable.
