The Philadelphia Eagles are in need of a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with first year OC Brian Johnson. There’s a belief among NFL insiders the Eagles are likely targeting a veteran offensive mind to work with head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Here’s a running thread of rumors about the Eagles offensive coordinator search.

Eagles virtually interviewed former Arizona Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury for the vacant OC position.
The #Eagles interviewed USC senior offensive analyst Kliff Kingsbury for their offensive coordinator job today, sources say. Kingsbury recently interviewed with the #Bears, who hired Shane Waldron as OC.

Former Eagles OC Frank Reich is on the outside looking in…for now.
I’m told Frank Reich hasn’t received a call from #Eagles coach Nick Sirianni about the team’s offensive coordinator position. Obviously, it’s still early in the process. Reich was Philly’s OC for their Super Bowl run and Sirianni considers him a mentor.

Eagles OC position is going to be a tough sell.
“We’ll see what other staff changes are made. I think there are people on the staff that may not want to be there because of some of the dysfunction that went on the last few months. It could go beyond a couple coordinators.”

Eagles Coaches are not happy with the removal of Brian Johnson.
Staff members are upset about Brian Johnson being let go, says @JFowlerESPN.
“There’s some weird vibes out of there. I just don’t know that everybody on the staff is happy about everything that’s gone down – especially with Brian Johnson who was sort of caught in the middle.” pic.twitter.com/EwUNf48ufk

Eagles are NOT expected to pursue Colts’ OC Jim Bob Cooter.
Brian Johnson won’t be returning to the #Eagles as offensive coordinator, NFL sources said, confirming @RealDGunn.
Nick Sirianni will have to replace both his OC and DC. Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter was mentioned as a possibility, but he won’t be among the top candidates, I’m being…
