Eagles reportedly have had some initial talks with coaching candidates

It remains quiet in Philly on the offensive coordinator front nearly two days after the Eagles parted ways with Kevin Patullo

The Birds have yet to announce any interviews with potential candidates, though the team began reaching out to coaches Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.

Two candidates are reportedly at the top of the team's list – former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel (columnist David Murphy's favorite) and former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who spent time with Jalen Hurts at Alabama.

Ex-Eagles coach Jonathan Gannon gets an interview

A familiar name to Eagles fans might not be finished as a head coach yet.

Former Arizona Cardinals head coach and ex-Birds defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon will reportedly interview with the Tennessee Titans Sunday, according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.

Gannon went just 15-36 (.294) in three seasons with the Cardinals, and his team was completely uncompetitive in the NFC West (0-6). In fact, the Cardinals lost more games last season (14) than the rest of the NFC West combined (13).

Potential Eagles offensive coordinator target heading to the Giants

Giants set to hire John Harbaugh as new head coach: reports

What about QB whisperers Josh McCown or Cam Turner?

The Eagles don’t just need an offensive coordinator. They need a quarterback whisperer.

They need Josh McCown. Or maybe Cam Turner.

Kevin Patullo wasn’t ready for the OC job in Philly, but then, Bill Walsh and Sid Gillman wouldn’t have won a Super Bowl the way Jalen Hurts played in 2025.

Jason Kelce clarifies Kevin Patullo comments

Former Eagles center Jason Kelce played under Kevin Patullo after he became the team’s passing game coordinator in 2021. A year after Kelce’s retirement in 2024, Patullo was promoted to offensive coordinator for this season.

“The expectations [for the offense] should be much higher than what they put out this season,” Kelce said on the latest episode of New Heights. “I know I made some comments on Monday Night Football, and I do love Kevin Patullo. I’m not trying to absolve him of blame. … The offense wasn’t up to the task this year. It regressed. The main reason it regressed was the run game, and the offensive line’s inability to stay healthy, and to open up holes.”

While removing Patullo as coordinator was one of the franchise’s first moves after Sunday’s 23-19 playoff loss to the 49ers, Kelce suggested that players should also take accountability for the disappointing finale.
