Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is quickly emerging as a top candidate for the Philadelphia Eagles’ vacant offensive coordinator position.

Multiple NFL insiders, including Adam Schefter, have reported that the Eagles are expected to interview Daboll in the coming days. Daboll brings notable connections to the organization, including a long-standing relationship with head coach Nick Sirianni, as the two crossed paths more than a decade ago in Kansas City. He also has direct ties to quarterback Jalen Hurts, having served as Hurts’ offensive coordinator during his time at Alabama.

While questions have surfaced about whether the fiery Daboll and equally intense Sirianni could coexist on the same staff, it appears the Eagles’ behind-the-scenes messaging is already working to downplay any concerns about potential friction.

Jan 14: An Update!

According to reports, the Philadelphia Eagles are targeting big-name offensive coordinator candidates and are willing to offer complete autonomy over the offense as they reshape their coaching staff.

Jan 14: Daboll and McDaniel

According to Dianna Russini, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially begun reaching out to candidates in their search for a new offensive coordinator, signaling that the process is now actively underway. As the organization looks to stabilize and modernize its offense, early outreach suggests the Eagles are casting a wide net that includes experienced play-callers with head coaching pedigrees.

Among the names emerging as top targets are former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll and recently fired Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. Daboll’s success developing quarterbacks and tailoring offenses to his personnel makes him a particularly intriguing option, while McDaniel would bring recent head coaching experience and familiarity with high-level offensive systems. As the coaching carousel continues to move, Philadelphia appears positioned to be aggressive in identifying its next offensive leader.

According to multiple reports, the Philadelphia Eagles will consider Kliff Kingsbury and Kevin Stefanski for their open offensive coordinator position should either candidate fail to land a head coaching job this offseason. With the organization continuing to evaluate long-term offensive stability under Nick Sirianni, the potential availability of two accomplished play-callers with very different—but proven—offensive philosophies immediately places the Eagles in a favorable position as the NFL coaching carousel continues to turn.

Kliff Kingsbury

Kingsbury brings a quarterback-driven, modern offensive background that would immediately stand out in Philadelphia. A former Texas Tech quarterback, Kingsbury rose to national prominence as one of college football’s earliest and most successful adopters of the Air Raid offense made famous by his mentor Mike Leach. His time coaching Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech helped cement his reputation as an innovative play designer, ultimately leading to his hiring as the Arizona Cardinals’ head coach in 2019.

During his tenure in Arizona, Kingsbury oversaw the development of Kyler Murray and led the Cardinals to a playoff appearance, consistently fielding offenses built on spacing, tempo, and explosive passing concepts.

While his overall results as a head coach were mixed, Kingsbury remains widely respected as an offensive mind. In a coordinator role, without head coaching responsibilities, he could focus entirely on scheme design and quarterback development, making him an intriguing option for an Eagles offense built around speed, versatility, and matchup advantages.

Kevin Stefanski

Stefanski represents the opposite end of the offensive spectrum, offering structure, balance, and proven NFL efficiency. Stefanski spent years rising through the coaching ranks with the Minnesota Vikings before earning his first head coaching opportunity with the Cleveland Browns in 2020. He made an immediate impact, winning NFL Coach of the Year after leading Cleveland to its first playoff victory in more than two decades.

Stefanski’s offenses are defined by physicality, a strong run game, and heavy play-action usage designed to keep quarterbacks on schedule. His ability to tailor his system to available personnel and produce results without elite quarterback play has been a hallmark of his coaching career. That adaptability would align well with the Eagles’ emphasis on offensive line dominance and scheme flexibility, making Stefanski a compelling candidate should Philadelphia prioritize stability and consistency.

Both Kingsbury and Stefanski have interviewed for head coaching jobs during this cycle. In Stefanski’s case, he is only weeks removed from his tenure with the Browns, which could make him particularly attractive to teams seeking experienced leadership. For the Eagles, the risk is clear: if either coach revitalizes the offense, Philadelphia could find itself back in the same position next offseason.
