The Eagles are still in the hunt for their next offensive coordinator, and while the coaching carousel continues to spin across the league, one name remains at the top of Philadelphia’s wish list: Brian Daboll.
With the Buffalo Bills officially promoting Joe Brady to head coach, a potential roadblock to the Eagles’ pursuit of Daboll has been removed. Brady, who had drawn interest for both offensive coordinator and head coaching roles around the league, will now stay put in Buffalo. That clears one major domino from the board-and keeps the door open for Philly to make its move.
Now, let’s be clear: landing Daboll is far from a lock. He’s reportedly a hot commodity this offseason, with interest from multiple teams.
He’s already completed a second interview for the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching job, and he’s also been linked to the Tennessee Titans’ OC vacancy. But for the Eagles, the fit is hard to ignore.
Daboll has a strong track record of elevating quarterbacks and designing offenses that maximize talent. He’s worked with Jalen Hurts in the past and helped mold Saquon Barkley into one of the league’s most dynamic backs. That kind of familiarity-and success-carries weight in a city like Philadelphia, where expectations are always sky-high and the margin for error is razor-thin.
If the Eagles can somehow land Daboll, it would be a major win for a franchise looking to bounce back after a turbulent finish to the season. His offensive philosophy, built on adaptability and quarterback empowerment, aligns well with what Philly wants to be: explosive, efficient, and unpredictable.
For now, though, it’s a waiting game.
The Eagles’ current list of candidates includes Jim Bob Cooter, who brings experience but hasn’t generated the same level of buzz, and Sean Mannion, the Packers’ quarterbacks coach, who is reportedly heading into a second interview with the team. Mannion is a rising name in coaching circles, but he’s still unproven in a coordinator role. That makes the potential of landing Daboll all the more tantalizing.
Eagles fans are holding out hope. And while there’s no guarantee they’ll get their guy, the possibility alone is enough to keep the fan base engaged. Daboll remains the dream hire-and until he signs elsewhere, the dream is still alive in Philly.
