So who has interviewed vs who has been requested? I think I got it mixed up too

https://www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-coaching-search-rumor-and-report-tracker-nick-sirianni-kevin-patullo-offensive-coordinator/

Interviewed: Slowick, Nagy, Daboll, McDaniel (kinda), Grizzard, Cooter, Kafka, Robinson

Unclear/Asked for permission: Weiss Jr, Kingsbury, Doyle,

Sheesh, Grizzard is another "helper.” Who the hell goes from WR coach back down to Quality Control coach. The hardest pass.

An interesting note, Bills and Steelers can't interview anyone remaining in the playoffs until after the Super Bowl because the upcoming week window is for 2nd interviews only. I would assume that applies to OC interviews as well. Maybe the Eagles have their eyes on someone.

So I think he's onto something here and I wish more people would think this way, even though I disagree that the team will be substantially less talented next year.

The OC will not make Cam or Landon be able to block. That problem will have to be solved other ways.

But with some very simple adjustments that Patullo and Nick apparently can't make, this offense can look functional again in a very short amount of time.

And you mentioned the AJ Brown angle. A competent OC just might be able to salvage AJ Browns 2026-2027 season.

For these reasons, and all of the unique circumstances you mentioned previously about the job, we don't need a total overhaul of a genius innovator to take over the offense. We just need competence and a good fit

I could be completely wrong and I hope I’m completely wrong, but I just think AJ Brown is gone. I want him here because I know how hard it is to get another AJ Brown. But I just kind of think those reports that came out that he asked for trades was not done by the Eagles. That came from him and his camp to try to push the envelope so that he could get himself out of here. And I could see the eagle saying well in 2027 we weren’t giving him an extension at 30. He only has $4 million guaranteed at that point so it was very likely we were moving on anyways. Let’s just move on now when he’s unhappy and get nice haul for him. it hurts the cap situation now but helps our cap situation in the future and we get picks to help the team.

I also think goedert is gone. I tend to lean to the fact that Lane is going to be back. But if all 3 of those guys are gone, that is three starters gone. We can say can just replace them, but I don’t think it’s easier said then done and hard to replace those guys with as much talent as those guys were in one off-season. plus you still have to go get a second corner, maybe a starting safety, potentially another past rusher and then fill in the depth on this roster.

It’s kind of why I like Berman‘s thinking. If I’m not going to be as talented which at the moment is questionable i might want the higher upside schemer than just the competent high floor guy

Berman made a great point about college coaches, a lot of times you don’t hear it unless it’s going to be the guy. Because it can screw with recruiting so they don’t want it out there.

This made me laugh. 

Imagine how many more kids he’d have being HC in Buffalo and taking Jordan Matthews advice

The only way AJ is gone before 6/1 is of they extend Goedert before the league year starts and reduce the $20mm cap hit in 2026. Otherwise, they can't afford it and build out the roster. They'd also need to extend JD and cut MC2 before the league year starts to free up space.

If Goedert hits FA, AJ is basically staying.

So he’s buddies with the Shanahan tree and was around when the #2 overall pick flashed and then nosedived right after. Got it.

Pass.

The exceptional OCs are still employed for a reason.

The ones available either

a. have some flaw or perceived flaw with something to prove.

or

b. have a lack of experience as OC or at least with play calling.

Slowik was a big name very recently and now has something to prove. If you are ruling him out based on having something to prove, youre basically ruling out almost the entire list. You are down to Declan Doyle or Weiss Jr as your choices.

I have to be honest, I've kind of morphed over the last week and am now more in favor of someone younger. Daboll -- I'd be fine with it, and I put zero stock in Russini's report about the Titans. But I think Daboll is going to get the Bills job. So the names I would be happy about: Brady, Slowik, Kingsbury, Doyle. Names I would be OK with: Cooter, Weiss Jr, Grizzard. Name that would be disappointing: Kafka. Name that makes me set fire to all my jerseys: Nagy.

Well....there's a couple ways to look at this.

If we want to get back to 2022...the order of importance is 1. AJ Brown 2. Lane Johnson 3. Dallas Goedert.

If we want to get back to 2024...the order of importance is 1. Lane Johnson 2. AJ Brown 3. Dallas Goedert.

If we want to marginally get better than 2025, then I'm not sure how much any of them matter. Lane wasn't available last year and will probably just be in and out of the lineup if he doesn't retire. The passing offense sucks with or without AJ. And Goedert's blocking, interestingly, is what fell off a cliff with age. So I'm just not sure how important it is to have any of them back. 2022 and 2024 aren't coming back.

I also think with Slowik, we can know confidently say that CJ's regression was because of CJ, not him. Slowik's work in 2023 looks even more impressive now.

I really am intrigued by Doyle. Bring in a consultant to help with play calling if you have to, but man...the 2 guys he worked for have done a great job of scheming open inferior weapons for lesser QBs.

I think Aj would be dealt as a post June 1st. As much as it would suck to not get draft picks for this upcoming draft, the Eagles might also look at the 2027 draft and say it has more prospects and potential to be a better draft than this one. So they might just be OK taking future pics. And maybe they get a player back that helps him now because they did it that way. I mentioned Buffalo. If I was dealing with buffalo and I had to trade and post June 1, then I would ask for somebody like Dalton Kincaid. He’s on the last year of his contract. He’s kind of been banged up through his career. So there’s a chance Buffalo doesn’t want to extend him anyways (albeit Knox needs to restructure his deal too). Meanwhile, if you let Dallas go, he can be your replacement at 27 years old. That’s just a hypothetical, but I’m guessing teams like New England they also could discuss something similar with.

You’re viewing it as last year they sucked with or without them this year so it didn’t really matter. I am questioning if you had a better OC they wouldn’t have sucked without them. That they would’ve looked a lot better. If that is the case, then you hiring a new OC and then them not being back you could be just as underwhelming next year on offense because you have the lack of talent, but the OC is actually better than what it was in 2025.

If this is what it has to be all about, we might as well just stockpile resources for the inevitability of an entirely new coaching staff a year from now anyway.

Well that's what I mean with 2022 and 2024, when, ostensibly, we had those better OC's. Which year are we trying to recapture? I just don't think a better OC is going to be able to do it. But those were two very different offenses.

The counterpoint is dealing him after June 1 just leaves a massive hole at WR - Dotson is gone, so basically it's Smitty and a bunch of unknowns. We don't have the money to sign anyone, and I'm not sure we spend a high pick on a WR. Moreover, if you do pick a WR high or sign someone, then the whole league knows you have to trade him and you get pennies on the dollar. Unless he skips all offseason activities and tries to force your hand, dealing him after 6/1 is a recipe for getting screwed.

Someone said Doyle and Nagy combo with Nagy helping out with the play calling aspect. Sounds solid.

I also hope Loeffler is as good as everyone was believing when they thought he might be the savior of our season. He has play calling experience and maybe hes the guy to step up and help a young OC.

I heard yesterday that a post-June 1st trade can be designated, which would be big if true as it would allow the FO to handle FA and the draft with the knowledge that they need to fill that hole in the roster (and maybe with some additional resources).

I don’t disagree with you. However, I don’t see the Eagles keeping somebody around that doesn’t want to be here. We can say oh he’s never come out and say it. Most players aren’t gonna just come out publicly and say it. I think it’s pretty obvious who leaked the story that he asked for multiple trades this year. And I think it’s pretty obvious who was telling Diana Russini that he was unhappy and didn’t want to be there anymore. I don’t think changing the OC is necessarily going to fix everything that ails him or making him unhappy.

Also I kind of viewed it this way that they probably if they know they’re trading him, they are drafting and developing a wr relatively high in this draft. You’re probably gonna sign a veteran that’s not making a lot of money in for agency. I also kind of think they’re probably going to ask for some player back in that trade. Like if I’m dealing with New England, I’m asking for boutte coming back in that trade.

That is incorrect. You can't trade him before June 1 and designate it like a cut.

Would not be happy if we use a high pick on WR instead of Oline
