I typed the following sentence in an article published about an hour ago from me writing this post you’re reading now:
With so much news about who the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator WON’T be, you’d think we’re going to figure it out by process of elimination at some point.
Sure enough, yet another candidate has been eliminated from the running.
The Eagles will NOT be hiring Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle as their new play-caller. He has withdrawn his name from Philly’s search, according to a report from NFL insider Dianna Russini.
The Eagles’ interest in Doyle — the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL — was first reported last week. He was an intriguing option due to working with Sean Payton and Ben Johnson. But his lack of experience stands out; he’s never called plays before.
In any case, the Eagles will continue to look for a new OC. Their remaining known options:
- Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard
- Former New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka
- Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter
- Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy
- Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson
- Former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith
Plus maybe Brian Daboll? Maybe some new names will enter the mix?
