The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly entered their offensive coordinator search with Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll as their top two candidates.
It’s now looking like the Eagles have struck out on both options.
McDaniel is reportedly going to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Daboll is reportedly between the Buffalo Bills head coach opening and the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator opening, according to a report from The Athletic:
With the Titans recently hiring San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as their head coach, Tennessee’s new offensive coordinator will clearly have full control of the offense. That same kind of control isn’t necessarily extended to the Eagles’ new OC.
And so the Birds will have to keep looking. As a reminder, here are the known candidates that realistically remain (it’s possible someone like Joe Brady still gets added to the mix, we’ll see):
- Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard
- Former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson
- Former New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka
- Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter
- Miami Dolphins senior passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik
- LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr.
Just because the Eagles didn’t land their top choices doesn’t mean they can’t hire a successful candidate. The Eagles won Super Bowls with neither Doug Pederson nor Nick Sirianni as their top choices at the beginning of those head coaching searches.
But with McDaniel and Daboll off the board, it’s hard to feel incredible about the Eagles’ remaining options.
