It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles won't get Brian Daboll.
According to NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Philadelphia Eagles are conducting their offensive coordinator search with the understanding that Brian Daboll wants the Buffalo Bills' head coaching job.
If Daboll doesn't get hired by the Bills, the former New York Giants head coach is expected to wind up in Tennessee as the offensive coordinator for Cam Ward and the Titans.
That means the Eagles have now struck out with Daboll and Mike McDaniel.
Philadelphia won the Super Bowl last season with Kellen Moore calling plays. This season under Kevin Patullo, scoring dropped from 27.2 (ranked seventh) to 22.3 (19th) points per game; offensive efficiency dipped from fourth best in the league to 19th; and the rushing attack plummeted from 179 yards per game (2nd) to 116.9 (18th).
Patullo didn't work well with Jalen Hurts or A.J. Brown.
"I have decided to make a change at offensive coordinator," Nick Sirianni said in a statement about Patullo being let go. "I met with Kevin today to discuss the difficult decision, as he is a great coach who has my utmost respect. He has been integral to this team's success over the last five years, not only to the on-field product but behind the scenes as a valued leader for our players and organization. I have no doubt he will continue to have a successful coaching career. Ultimately, when we fall short of our goals that responsibility lies on my shoulders."
Hurts finished with 3,224 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns this season. The Eagles lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card game at home.
Philadelphia is not expected to trade Hurts this offseason, but Brown could be a potential trade target. Brown, who was a huge distraction all season, got into a heated sideline exchange with Sirianni during the 49ers game and had two big drops.
Brown had 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season. He and Hurts weren't on the same page at all.
Brown has been with the Eagles since 2022. He has 339 receptions for 5,034 yards and 32 touchdowns in a Philadelphia uniform.
