Eagles' Offseason Search for New OC Takes Center Stage
The Philadelphia Eagles are in full-blown mode as they search for a new offensive coordinator, following the departure of Kevin Patullo. The team's struggles on offense last season have left fans and analysts alike wondering what changes are needed to shake things up.
In a series of moves that are being closely watched by NFL teams, several coordinators are interviewing with the Eagles. Zac Robinson, the current OC for the Atlanta Falcons, is reportedly in the mix. Meanwhile, Charlie Weis Jr., who has been linked to various coaching jobs, including one at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin, could be on the verge of joining the Eagles' staff.
The team's interest in Robinson and Weis Jr. has led some to speculate that the Eagles are looking for a fresh approach to their offense, potentially ditching the current scheme developed by Nick Sirianni. Another name being mentioned is Mike McDaniel, who comes from the Shanahan tree and is known for his innovative approaches to play-calling.
However, not everyone is seen as a top contender. Brian Daboll's tenure as head coach of the Giants was marked by controversy, including public outbursts on the sidelines. His past successes as OC for the Bills are being questioned in light of his handling of Josh Allen and subsequent departure from the team.
As the search continues, several other coordinators are also worth noting. Christian Parker, who has been with the Eagles for two seasons, is interviewing with the Cowboys for the defensive coordinator job. Meanwhile, Kliff Kingsbury and Kevin Stefanski, both of whom have been linked to coaching jobs around the league, could potentially get a real look for the Eagles' OC position.
One thing is clear: the Eagles are in desperate need of an upgrade at the quarterback position. With Jake Elliott's struggles on kicking duties also affecting the team's special teams unit, it remains to be seen what changes will ultimately take place this offseason.

. It's crazy how one person's departure can send shockwaves through a team's entire roster. I mean, on one hand, it's cool that Zac Robinson is in the mix - he seems like a solid guy who might bring some fresh ideas to the table 
. But at the same time, I'm not entirely sold on Charlie Weis Jr. - his track record doesn't exactly scream "winning coach" 
.
. Jake Elliott just can't seem to get it together, and with the team's offense struggling like they are, something needs to change ASAP 
. I'm not holding out much hope for this offseason - we'll see what happens when the dust settles... 
I'm low-key hoping they go with Mike McDaniel, he's got some crazy innovative ideas and could shake things up. But Robinson is a solid choice too, his stint at Falcons might just give them the boost they need. 
. I think they need someone with a fresh perspective and maybe even some new ideas to shake things up 
. Zac Robinson seems like a great option, he's young and hungry and could bring some excitement to the team 
. But I'm not sure about Brian Daboll, that controversy around him kinda clouds my judgement 
. And can't forget the quarterback situation is a mess, needs someone to come in and sort it out 
The Eagles need someone who can gel with their existing QBs and offense, not just bring some new ideas. 
. That's a 12.1 yard gap... yeah, they need an upgrade. 
. It shows Zac Robinson and Charlie Weis Jr. are definitely in the mix, but what about Mike McDaniel? His innovative approaches to play-calling could be just what the doctor ordered for the Eagles' offense 
According to ESPN, his field goal percentage last season was only 83.2%, which is way below the NFL average of 87.6%. Yeah, the special teams unit needs some TLC too! 
it's interesting that weis jr is also getting consideration - he's got some big shoes to fill after what lane kiffin accomplished at ole miss 
On the other hand, Mike McDaniel is like the ULTIMATE QB whisperer and Kliff Kingsbury's innovative approaches would be AWESOME for Philly's offense! What do you guys think?!
but at the same time i'm not sure about Brian Daboll, his past is kinda sketchy 
still gotta see what the rest of the offseason brings tho 
. But Mike McDaniel would bring such a fresh perspective from the Shanahan tree 
. On the other hand, Charlie Weis Jr.'s past experience at Ole Miss is pretty impressive 
. I'm not sold on Brian Daboll though - all those controversy surrounding Josh Allen kinda raises red flags 
️
he's innovative, he's got experience, and he's shown he can make it work elsewhere
Zac Robinson is cool and all but let's see what he can do in Philly before making any drastic changes 
... on the other hand, i think zac robinson could be the real deal, he was decent at atlanta and might bring some fresh ideas to philly's offense 
... and ugh, brian daboll is just a mess, dont even get me started
