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.
