The Eagles are getting the search for a new offensive coordinator underway, and after revealing a bit of the process in their end-of-season press conference, they will hold their first interview on Friday with Falcons OC Zac Robinson.
Robinson is a former NFL quarterback, who was drafted by the Patriots in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State. He bounced around for a few years, spending time with the Seahawks, Lions, and Bengals, before getting a job with Rams staff in 2019 as an assistant QB coach. Robinson was credited with the early development of Jared Goff, and then went on to serve as an assistant WR coach in 2020 when Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods were both just shy of a 1,000-yard season. From 2019 to 2023, he served in different roles, including pass-game coordinator, before leaving for Atlanta in 2024.
He spent two years as the Falcons offensive coordinator, and in his first year in the role, his offense ranked sixth in yards per game (369.8), fifth in passing yards per game (239.3) and 10th in rushing yards per game (130.5). Quarterback Kirk Cousins set several franchise records, and Robinson helped transition rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. into the mix.
BGN’s Dave Mangel’s offered a brief note about Robinson in his article about potential candidates:
“Grabbing a branch off the Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan coaching tree will always appeal to teams, but it’s no sure thing. His predecessor in that role was Zac Robinson, who spent two years as Falcons OC with seemingly no plan B after running the same half dozen plays out of the pistol formation with two different QBs.“
Robinson appears to be the first of what should be many interviews the Eagles will conduct over the coming weeks to fill their OC job.
