The Eagles will have a new offensive coordinator in 2026. They will maintain a high level of continuity on the sidelines with respect to special teams, however. 
Michael Clay has agreed to terms on a new deal with Philadelphia, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report. This ensures Clay will remain in the fold for at least a sixth campaign with the team. He most recently landed an extension early in the 2024 offseason.
There was interest around the league in Clay’s case, per the report. Indeed, the Buccaneers interviewed him for their own ST coordinator opening last week. Instead of departing upon seeing his contract expire next month, Clay has elected once again to stay in Philadelphia. The 34-year-old has spent much of his coaching career with the Eagles.
A former undrafted free agent, Clay quickly turned his attention to coaching after the end of his playing days. He started out with the Eagles in 2014 and held a number of roles during his first stint with the team. Clay then spent five years in San Francisco, most of which was spent as an assistant special teams coach. He returned to Philadelphia in 2021, receiving the opportunity to serve as a ST coordinator at an unusually young age.
Clay has enjoyed a great deal of success in that role, as illustrated by the Eagles’ willingness to retain him on multiple occasions over the years. Philadelphia’s search for former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo is ongoing. At least one prominent new voice will be present in the team’s coaching staff for next season, but Clay will still be in place.
Bring in some competition for Jake.
