Eagles Offensive Coordinator Hot Board: 5 Candidates to Replace Kevin Patullo

After relieving Kevin Patullo of his duties, the Philadelphia Eagles are once again in need of an offensive coordinator. With Nick Sirianni firmly in place and the organization still built to win now, the next hire will be about stability, quarterback development, and maximizing an elite offensive core.

Here’s a look at five candidates the Eagles could look to for the gig as the coaching carousel continues to spin.

Frank Reich

Frank Reich’s familiarity with the Eagles organization makes him one of the most logical and cleanest fits on the board. Reich served as Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator during the Super Bowl LII run and was instrumental in Carson Wentz’s MVP-caliber 2017 season. His history in the building, combined with his understanding of what works in Philadelphia, would make for a seamless transition.

Just as important is Reich’s relationship with Nick Sirianni. Sirianni worked under Reich in Indianapolis, and the two share a similar offensive philosophy built around adaptability and quarterback-friendly concepts. After stints as a head coach in Indianapolis and Carolina, Reich may not be eager to jump back into a head coaching role immediately, making the Eagles’ OC position an appealing opportunity to reset while remaining on a competitive staff.

Todd Monken

Todd Monken has quickly become one of the most respected offensive minds in football thanks to his work at both the college and NFL levels. Currently serving as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator, Monken helped modernize the Ravens’ attack, blending spread concepts with a physical run game tailored to Lamar Jackson’s strengths. His offenses are aggressive, versatile, and quarterback-centric — all traits that align well with the Eagles’ personnel.

Monken’s ability to evolve his scheme based on his quarterback is particularly attractive for Philadelphia. Whether it’s RPOs, quick-game concepts, or deep play-action shots, Monken has shown he can design an offense that keeps defenses on their heels. With head coaching buzz continuing to follow him, the Eagles would need to act decisively if they view Monken as a top-tier option.

Mike Kafka

Mike Kafka has quietly built a strong reputation as a rising offensive mind around the league. Having served as the Giants’ offensive coordinator and previously working under Andy Reid in Kansas City, Kafka brings a blend of West Coast principles and modern spread concepts that would translate well to the Eagles’ roster.

Kafka’s background with quarterback development and his ability to scheme around personnel limitations have stood out during his time in New York. For Philadelphia, he would represent a forward-thinking hire who could grow alongside Sirianni while helping maintain continuity on offense. Like others on this hot board, Kafka’s upside could make him a short-term solution if head coaching opportunities arise.

Brian Daboll

Brian Daboll’s track record as a quarterback developer makes him one of the most intriguing names on the Eagles’ offensive coordinator hot board. From his work turning Josh Allen into an MVP candidate in Buffalo to stabilizing offenses in difficult situations, Daboll has consistently shown an ability to design quarterback-friendly systems that blend structure with creativity. His experience calling plays at the NFL level would immediately bring credibility and clarity to Philadelphia’s offense.

What elevates Daboll even further for the Eagles is his prior relationship with Jalen Hurts. Daboll served as Alabama’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2017 season, working closely with Hurts during a critical stage of his development. That familiarity with Hurts’ strengths, leadership traits, and growth areas could allow Daboll to hit the ground running in Philadelphia. With head coaching opportunities always looming for successful coordinators, the Eagles would once again risk being in the same position next offseason but the potential short-term payoff could be well worth it.

Greg Roman

Greg Roman remains a name to watch for Eagles fans, and we already took a deep dive into why he makes sense HERE. Roman’s success building dominant run games and tailoring offenses to mobile quarterbacks has been well documented, and his experience could offer a stabilizing presence for a team looking to reassert its physical identity.

Final Thoughts

The Eagles find themselves in a familiar position: searching for an offensive coordinator while still operating in a win-now window. Each candidate on this hot board brings a unique blend of experience, innovation, and risk. The challenge for Philadelphia will be finding the right balance between immediate impact and long-term continuity because whoever gets the job could very well be a head coaching candidate again this time next year.
