Potential Candidates for Offensive Coordinator Position with the Philadelphia Eagles

5 Possibilities for the Eagles Offensive Coordinator Job

To the satisfaction of many Philadelphia Eagles fans, the team officially announced on Tuesday morning that they would be parting ways with Brian Johnson. This decision was anticipated by fans, given Johnson’s performance scrutiny throughout the season. In 2022, the Eagles offense exhibited a fluidity, effortlessly advancing the ball down the field and posing a threat to defenses in all aspects—an aspect notably lacking this year. Here are some potential candidates for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator role who could potentially restore the team to its 2022 form.

The Longshot: Josh McDaniels, Former Raiders Head Coach

Despite facing criticism for his coaching stints with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Denver Broncos, McDaniels is still regarded as a top offensive mind in the NFL. His contribution to the Patriots dynasty highlights his ability to strategically open up receivers in the offense. Additionally, McDaniels’ commitment to the run game, an element fans felt was undervalued in 2023, makes him an appealing option. While securing McDaniels may be challenging, the Eagles should explore the possibility.

The Experienced Options: Eric Bieniemy, Former Chiefs and Commanders Offensive Coordinators

A seasoned offensive coordinator, Bieniemy, who achieved success with the Chiefs before joining the Washington Commanders in 2022, brings a track record of competence. Despite a challenging offensive year for the Commanders, Bieniemy’s experience and prestige could make him a solid choice for the Eagles, providing immediate impact and earning players’ attention and respect.

Kliff Kingsbury, Former Cardinals Head Coach

Kingsbury, recently interviewed for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator position, offers an intriguing prospect for shaking up the team’s offense. While his tenure as the Arizona Cardinals head coach included both success and setbacks with an air-raid style offense, Kingsbury demonstrated creativity in the passing game and adaptability in tailoring game plans week to week. However, there’s a concern that his heavy passing offense might neglect the Eagles’ strong suit—their offensive line.

Robinson, a sought-after name in the NFL coaching carousel, has limited coaching experience but has been involved in play-calling for the Rams in the preseason. Part of the successful Sean McVay coaching tree since 2019, Robinson poses both a risk and a high potential ceiling.

Tee Martin, Ravens Quarterback Coach

Having transitioned from wide receivers coach to quarterbacks coach for the Ravens this year, Martin’s influence on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offensive success has elevated his coaching profile. A former quarterback at Tennessee University with a brief stint with the Eagles in 2002, pairing Martin with Jalen Hurts could generate significant interest and contribute to further development.
