The Philadelphia Eagles are still looking for a new offensive coordinator after either firing or demoting Kevin Patullo. Here are some updates on the search.
Brian Daboll still in the mix?
Earlier this week, The Athletic reported that Daboll is expected to be the new Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator if he doesn’t land the Buffalo Bills head coaching job.
However, the latest buzz from NFL insider Jeremy Fowler suggests that Daboll to Philly hasn’t been ruled out:
I’m not totally convinced former Giants head coach Brian Daboll is off the table, though there’s not much buzz there at the moment.
There’s currently an article on Music City Miracles titled: “How long can Titans wait for Brian Daboll to make a decision?” And it’s a fair question. The longer Daboll keeps them waiting, the greater the chance the Titans miss out on their top backup options at offensive coordinator. Maybe the Titans grow impatient and go with someone else but Daboll doesn’t get the Bills job, leaving him available for the Eagles?
We’ll see.
Eagles granted permission to interview Declan Doyle
On Thursday, we learned that the Eagles requested permission to interview Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. On Friday, we learned that the Eagles were granted that permission.
More from Fowler:
Chicago offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is a name to watch. The Bears did not block Philly’s request to interview Doyle, which means he’s free to make the lateral move. Some see him as head coach material, and this job can be a springboard if the new playcaller improves [Jalen] Hurts’ performance.
While it would be a lateral move in title, Doyle is obviously not the Bears’ play-caller. So, this would effectively be a promotion, which is probably why the Bears didn’t block the request.
Doyle’s lack of experience stands out but maybe he’s picked up some wisdom from working with Sean Payton and Ben Johnson. With the Eagles seemingly striking out on their top candidates, it could be good to take a big swing at OC as opposed to aiming for mere competence at best (see: Matt Nagy). The 2025 Eagles certainly could’ve benefited from mere competence but the 2026 Eagles might need more upside given the potential moving parts on offense.
The Bobby Slowik interview happened
On Friday morning, NFL insider Adam Schefter noted that the Eagles interviewed Miami Dolphins senior passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik for Philly’s OC opening.
The news here is that the interview actually took place. It was previously reported that the Eagles requested permission for the interview.
