Eagles Interview Matt Nagy For OC

By | at January 21, 2026 2:32 pm

The Chiefs’ expected rehire of Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator complicates Matt Nagy‘s path. He had been viewed as the frontrunner for the Titans’ HC job, which would have brought a reunion with Mike Borgonzi, but Robert Saleh ended up being Tennessee’s choice. Nagy resides in limbo presently.

Turning down a Chiefs extension offer in 2025, Nagy is a coaching free agent. He is still connected to a few available HC jobs — the Cardinals, Ravens and Raiders’ positions — but a coordinator post also has come up. The Eagles interviewed Nagy for their OC job, NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo tweets.

Nagy began his NFL career in Philadelphia, interning under Andy Reid before moving to the quality control level in 2011. Nagy followed Reid to Kansas City and linked back up with the coaching legend after a four-year Bears HC stint. Nagy spent the past three seasons as the Chiefs’ OC.

Reid has called the plays in Kansas City, but Nagy was nonetheless a key member of a staff that won two Super Bowls and booked a third straight trip to the dance in 2024. The Eagles wound up beating Kansas City in a lopsided affair last year, and the Chiefs’ long-running dominance of the AFC West came to a screeching halt this season. At 6-11, the Chiefs missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

The Eagles won 11 games and returned to the playoffs, but their Kevin Patullo-led offense sputtered for most of the season. As part of a passing attack that finished 23rd in the league, wide receiver A.J. Brown made his frustration known on multiple occasions. Meanwhile, with Saquon Barkley‘s rushing total falling from 2,005 yards during an electric 2024 to 1,140 this year, the Eagles’ offense ranked an underwhelming 19th in scoring and 24th in yards.

Philadelphia’s offensive struggles continued during a one-and-done postseason. The 49ers knocked the Eagles out of the wild-card round in a 23-19 contest. The Eagles gained just 308 yards that afternoon, and head coach Nick Sirianni quickly removed Patullo from the offensive coordinator position after one season.

Sirianni has been on the job since 2021, but he’s already seeking his fifth OC. Shane Steichen, Brian Johnson, Kellen Moore and Patullo were his first four choices. The Eagles lost Steichen (Colts) and Moore (Saints) to head coaching positions, while the Johnson and Patullo promotions fell flat.

Here’s a look at where the Eagles’ latest OC search stands:

Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis Among Eagles’ Extension Priorities

By | at January 21, 2026 1:14 pm

The Eagles are heading into the 2026 offseason with a number of extension candidates, and defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter could be at the top of general manager Howie Roseman‘s list, per Zach Berman and Brooks Kubena of The Athletic.

The Georgia products were drafted by the Eagles in the first round of back-to-back drafts – Davis in 2022 and Carter in 2023. Davis had a quiet rookie year before emerging as a starter in his second year. Pre-draft concerns about his conditioning seemed to be validated as the team carefully managed his snap count in 2024, but he played 61% of the team’s snaps in 2025. That corresponded with career-highs across the board, giving Philadelphia plenty of reason to pursue an extension.

The Eagles picked up Davis’ fifth-year option – worth $12.94MM – so an extension would clear up some 2026 cap space. The same is not true for Carter, who is set for a $6.94MM cap hit that could go up depending on the size of his signing bonus. The team also has to make a decision on his fifth year option, which is currently projected to be $21.04MM, per OverTheCap. Given the rapidly-escalating price of interior pass rushers, that would be a bargain for an additional year of Carter’s services,

Carter has already become one of the most dominant defensive tackles in the game, while Davis’ expanded production proves he is more than just a massive run-stopper in the middle of the defense. That should push the combined price of the duo over $50MM per year and potentially as high as $60MM.

The Eagles also have Nolan Smith‘s fifth-year option to consider. He would cost $15MM in 2027, a good price for an edge rusher. However, Roseman may not be as motivated to pursue a long-term deal with Smith as he failed to even match his 2024 breakout season in 2025.

Chargers Expected To Hire Mike McDaniel As Offensive Coordinator

By | at January 20, 2026 11:12 pm

The Chargers are close to naming Mike McDaniel their next offensive coordinator, Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington of ESPN report. McDaniel, who’s having dinner with team brass on Tuesday, is expected to take the job.

While McDaniel dropped out of the running to become the Browns’ head coach on Tuesday, he remains a candidate for the openings in Las Vegas and Baltimore, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. If he doesn’t land with the Raiders or Ravens, though, McDaniel is primed to sign a deal to join Jim Harbaugh‘s staff in Los Angeles. The Chargers have informed other candidates they’re planning to hire McDaniel, Dianna Russini of The Athletic relays.

After McDaniel’s four-year run as the Dolphins’ head coach ended on Jan. 8, the Lions, Eagles and Buccaneers joined the Chargers in showing interest in him for their offensive coordinator positions.

The Lions have since hired Drew Petzing, though the Eagles and Buccaneers each regarded McDaniel as their top target, per Darlington. However, McDaniel’s desire to return to California will win out. He previously worked there from 2017-21 as an assistant on Kyle Shanahan‘s staff in San Francisco.

McDaniel’s success with the 49ers led the Dolphins to hire him as their head coach, and the move paid dividends initially. The Dolphins combined for a 20-14 record and earned playoff berths in McDaniel’s first two seasons. Their offense impressed in finishing sixth in yards and 11th in scoring in 2022, but the unit found another gear in 2023.

During an 11-win campaign, the Dolphins scored the most points and racked up the second-most yards in the NFL. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led the league in passing en route to a Pro Bowl nod, while Tyreek Hill ended the year tops in receiving yards.

Unfortunately for McDaniel, the 2023 campaign proved to be his peak in Miami. After the Dolphins combined for a 15-19 mark over the past two seasons, owner Stephen Ross fired him. A significant Tagovailoa decline helped lead to McDaniel’s ouster. The left-hander played so poorly in 2025 that McDaniel benched him for seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers ahead of Week 16. Tagovailoa sat out each of Miami’s final three games. The Dolphins’ offense wrapped up the year 25th in points and 26th in yards.

As the fifth overall pick in 2020, Tagovailoa entered the league one selection before Chargers QB Justin Herbert. The 27-year-old put together his second Pro Bowl season in 2025 to help the Chargers to 11 wins and a playoff berth. However, after an ugly 16-3 loss to the Patriots in the wild-card round, Harbaugh fired offensive coordinator and longtime friend Greg Roman.

In Roman’s second and last year running their offense, the Chargers racked up the 12th-most yards in the league, but they struggled to put points on the board. LA was just 20th in scoring, though it hurt Roman’s cause that the team’s starting tackles, Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, didn’t play together all year.

Slater sat out the entire season with a torn patellar tendon, while an ankle injury ended Alt’s campaign after just six games. The Chargers were also shorthanded at running back, where offseason free agent pickup Najee Harris tore his Achilles in Week 3 and first-round rookie Omarion Hampton fractured his ankle and wound up missing eight games.

Although this season didn’t go according to plan for the Chargers, they’re now on the verge of reeling in one of the game’s most respected offensive minds. The 42-year-old McDaniel is slated to work with an enviable group of talent that will include Herbert, Slater, Alt, Hampton, wide receivers Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Tre Harris, and tight end Oronde Gadsden II. While it doesn’t appear McDaniel will receive his second head coaching job this winter, that could change a year from now if he revives the Chargers’ offense in 2026.

Coaching Rumors: Bucs, McDaniel, Morris, Bolts, Eagles, Vikings, Jags, Commanders

By | at January 20, 2026 3:00 pm

Mike McDaniel is still on the HC carousel, meeting with the Raiders on Monday and set for a second Browns interview Wednesday. He has landed on a few teams’ OC radars, including the Lions, Chargers, Eagles, Titans and Buccaneers. The Tampa gig could appeal given Todd Bowles‘ hot-seat status. The prospect of McDaniel joining the Bucs with an arrow toward succeeding Bowles is on the radar, per SI.com’s Albert Breer. The Bucs have promoted from within twice in the Jason Licht GM era, elevating OC Dirk Koetter and then giving Bowles the job after Bruce Arians‘ mid-offseason retirement in 2022. Bowles survived a collapse this season, firing OC Josh Grizzard. It would be interesting to see if he would hire an OC who could be in line to replace him down the line.

Here is the latest from the coaching ranks:

  • If the Chargers lose Jesse Minter to one of the remaining HC jobs, Jim Harbaugh may well look to promote from within. Defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale has a “very good chance” of being Minter’s DC successor, The Athletic’s Daniel Popper notes. Harbaugh confirmed internal staffers would be considered if Minter leaves. This would add up considering Clinkscale’s past. He worked as Michigan’s DBs coach in 2021 before being the Wolverines’ co-DC alongside Minter from 2022-23. While Minter received the DC opportunity in Los Angeles, Clinkscale came along with Harbaugh in 2024. The Chargers would need to comply with the Rooney Rule, of course, meaning one external minority would need to be interviewed before this rumored promotion becomes final.
  • Raheem Morris has interviewed for the Cardinals, Giants and Titans’ HC jobs. With New York and Tennessee moving in different directions, Morris is down to either Arizona or the coordinator level. The two-time HC not receiving a third opportunity at a top job could lead to a TV future, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. Morris has come up as a possible Commanders DC option, and other teams would surely consider the former Rams coordinator. But he could be joining Mike Tomlin in the media soon.
  • Although Nick Sirianni and GM Howie Roseman are the point men in the Eagles‘ offensive coordinator search, the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane notes both Jeffery Lurie and his son have been sitting in on interviews. Julian Lurie has recently been named to a position within the organization, being listed as a business and football strategy staffer. Via PFR’s Coordinator Search Tracker, Philly has some big names on its radar.
  • The Vikings are moving on from offensive line coach Chris Kuper, with ESPN.com’s Kevin Seifert indicating the four-year Minnesota staffer’s contract expired. Minnesota will be looking for a new O-line coach for the first time in the Kevin O’Connell era. This was Kuper’s first crack as a top O-line coach, having been an assistant OL coach with the Broncos and Dolphins previously. Kuper, 43, was an eight-year Broncos O-lineman from 2006-13.
  • Jaguars assistant O-line coach Keli’i Kekuewa is taking over as Stanford’s O-line coach, CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz tweets. Kekeuwa spent one season in Jacksonville; he will follow ex-Commanders staffer Tavita Pritchard to Palo Alto. Offensive assistant Trevor Mendleson should receive consideration to replace him, per the Florida Times-Union’s Ryan O’Halloran.
  • Pritchard’s old job as Commanders QBs coach went to D.J. Williams; Washington has since named Danny Etling as its assistant QBs coach, Zenitz adds. A Patriots seventh-round pick in 2018, Etling bounced around the NFL before being cut by the Packers in August 2023. He spent the 2024 season with the UFL’s Michigan Panthers. This will be the ex-LSU QB’s first coaching job. Etling, 31, was a college teammate of new Commanders OC David Blough at Purdue before transferring.

Packers To Interview Christian Parker For DC Job

By | at January 19, 2026 7:06 pm

With Jeff Hafley heading to Miami, the Packers are now in need of a new defensive coordinator. We’ve now got our first candidate for the opening. According to Jordan Schultz, the Packers will interview Eagles DBs coach and pass-game coordinator Christian Parker for the job.

[RELATED: Dolphins Hire Jeff Hafley As Head Coach]

This would be a bit of a homecoming for Parker, who started his NFL coaching career in Green Bay. Following a two-year stint as a Packers defensive quality control coach, Parker moved to the Eagles to serve as their defensive backs coach in 2021. He spent three years in that role before earning the added responsibility of passing game coordinator in 2024.

Most recently, Parker has been credited with the development of cornerbacks Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell. Both of the 2024 draft picks have emerged as key starters in Philly, and the duo both earned spots in the top-10 of Pro Football Focus’ positional rankings this season. Parker was also part of Vic Fangio‘s defensive staff that ranked No. 1 against the pass during their Super Bowl-winning 2024 campaign. While the defense took a slight step back in 2025 (finishing eighth overall), that didn’t do much to hurt Parker’s coordinator candidacy.

The 34-year-old has emerged as a name to watch during each of the past two hiring cycles. He interviewed for the Saints gig last offseason, and he’s expected to garner a second interview with the Cowboys this year.

If he ends up earning the Packers job, he’ll be tasked with turning around a defense that slightly disappointed this past year. The Packers ranked top 10 in points (sixth) and yards (fifth) in 2024, but the unit was less successful in 2025 (11th scoring and 12th in total defense). Part of that was due to Micah Parsons‘ season-ending injury, and Hafley’s popularity in this year’s coaching carousel proved that Green Bay’s defensive approach was still highly regarded.

Eagles To Interview Josh Grizzard For OC Job

By | at January 19, 2026 12:27 pm

Recently-fired Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard may not be on the market for long.

The Eagles are set to interview the 35-year-old for the same position in Philadelphia. He would replace Kevin Patullo, who was removed after the team’s wild card loss to the 49ers.

Grizzard came up in Miami under three different head coaches. He was first hired by Adam Gase as an offensive quality control coach in 2017. He was moved to a non-specific quality control role by Brian Flores in 2019 before a two-year stint leading the wide receiver room. Jaylen Waddle put up a then-record-setting rookie season under Grizzard in 2021, but he moved back to quality control in 2022 when Mike McDaniel brought in Wes Welker to coach the Dolphins’ WRs.

With little room to grow in Miami, Grizzard took the Buccaneers’ passing game coordinator job in 2024 under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen. The two quickly put together one of the best passing offenses in the NFL, earning them both promotions – Coen as the Jaguars’ head coach, and Grizzard as his replacement in Tampa Bay.

Coens’ 2025 season went as planned in Jacksonville, but Grizzard’s did not. His offense dealt with injuries to several key players, including but not limited to offensive linemen Tristan Wirfs, Luke Goedeke, and Cody Mauch; wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans; and running back Bucky Irving. Quarterback Baker Mayfield also played through multiple injuries.

But even when the unit was healthier, they were not playing up to their potential. The offense’s late-season struggles were a major reason they missed the playoffs, too. In their last six games, all facing defenses who were average at best, the Buccaneers only cleared 20 points once. They lost four of their six matchup and failed to qualify for the postseason for the first time in six years.

The Eagles may have reason to believe that Grizzard could succeed with a healthier roster in Philadelphia. The team arguably needs an infusion of offensive coaching from a coach that is not connected to the Eagles’ current tree. But he is still relatively inexperienced, which may not be the best fit for a team looking to quickly get back to Super Bowl contention.

Eagles Request OC Interview With Bobby Slowik

By | at January 18, 2026 9:36 pm

The Eagles have added Dolphins senior passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik to their list of offensive coordinator candidates, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Slowik, 38, arrived in Miami last offseason after a two-year stint as the Texans’ offensive coordinator. He led rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and Houston’s offense to their best finish in years in 2023, but the unit took a clear step back in 2024. However, the team’s continued offensive struggles under Nick Caley this season indicate that Slowik may not have been the primary problem.

The rest of Slowik’s resume is comprised of four years as an offensive assistant on Kyle Shanahan‘s staff in San Francisco, along with this past season in Miami. The 49ers’ passing game largely thrived while Slowik was its architect in 2021 and 2022, though he could not help Mike McDaniel revitalize the Dolphins’ air attack in 2025. If the Eagles are looking to branch out from Nick Sirianni’s coaching tree, Slowik could be an option to infuse some new concepts into Phily’s offense.

Slowik’s current competition for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator job includes several top offensive coaches, including McDaniel, Jim Bob Cooter, Zach Robinson, Kliff Kingsbury, Brian Daboll, and Mike Kafka.

Eagles To Retain ST Coordinator Michael Clay

By | at January 18, 2026 1:39 pm

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.
