The Philadelphia Eagles hosted former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard for a second interview regarding their vacant OC position on Wednesday, according to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The Eagles’ interest in Grizzard was first reported on January 19. Though he does have play-calling experience, Gizzard doesn’t exactly boast the most impressive resume.
The Bucs hired Grizzard to assist Liam Coen in replacing Dave Canales as Tampa’s offensive coordinator. Then Grizzard replaced Coen as OC in 2025.
Grizzard’s sole season as a play-caller resulted in the Bucs ranking 19th in points and 20th in yards. He was fired after just one year on the job.
In fairness, Tampa dealt with a lot of injury issues in 2025. But it’s hard to ignore how the Bucs fell off a cliff and finished 8-9 after their 6-2 start.
There was a point last season when Baker Mayfield was generating MVP buzz, so, that much probably contributes to the Eagles having interest in him. But one would think they’re looking for either a more proven candidate or a higher upside swing.
Grizzard is now one of three known candidates to meet with the Eagles for a second offensive coordinator interview. The other two are Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter and Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion.
The Eagles also previously interviewed former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, and Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson at least once.
It seems like the team is narrowing their list and getting closer to making a hire.
