Eagles Offensive Coordinator Search: 7 Potential Kellen Moore replacements

To the victors go swapped. For the third time in eight years, Eagles need a new offensive coordinator after reaching Super Bowl. Hopefully, Eagles have learned their lesson from the previous two attempts to promote from the inside and with hiring neophytes to call a Super Bowl practitioner.

Eagles should hire an experienced play calling. Unfortunately, picks are slim this time of year as everyone else has filled out their staff. Here are some options in addition to potential internal promotions Kevin Patullo, who is reportedly a “strong candidate” that must be stuck up from his current title Eagles passing game coordinator/associate head coach.

Lincoln Riley, USC Main Trainer

Riley has two large Eagles connections. First, he coached the jealous hurt in Oklahoma.

Secondly, he was a serious candidate to replace Doug Pederson in 2021, but allegedly rejected them. At that time, Riley had plenty of leverage as a rising star, and a year later he left Oklahoma to the USC. Things have not worked. He went 8-5 last year and 7-6 this year. His primary source of job security is that it would reportedly cost the USC $ 90 million to shoot him. But to hire him away? Surely the USC would be willing to negotiate his buyout if the Eagles rang.

Riley, traveling to an OC -job, wouldn’t be extreme. Last year then five FBS -Head coach leave for coordinator jobs, highlighted by chip kelly who ends UCLA to be Ohio State OC and Jeff Hafley ends Boston College to be Packers DC, both came in front of a hot seat season. Getting out of the USC can have a strong appeal to Riley that can potentially have its choice of jobs in a year.

Riley is probably a long shot, but somewhere in the Novacare complex he has been talked about.

Frank Reich, presumably a place on a beach

He checks a lot of boxes. Years of calling acting in the NFL. Super Bowl winner with Eagles. Nick Sirianni worked under him and their relationship is extremely strong. As a bonus, 63 years and a catastrophic ending to his main training career, there is no chance that he will leave in a year for a head coach job.

But he also has a payday of $ 36 million. From Panthers. Do Frank Reich even want to train more?

If the Eagles go with a young OC, Reich is a name to see as an offensive consultant/PAS -Game Coordinator -Type Role.

Bobby Slowik, an unemployment line in Houston

A year ago, Bobby Slowik got other interviews as the main coach candidate. Now he’s out of a job. Life moves at the speed of light in the NFL. Riding Coattails from CJ Stroud was Slowik a “warm coordinator” coming in this season turns out that the heat was from going into the atmosphere. Slowik was fired to a large extent because of his inability to protect Stroud, they also fired their Olympics coach. On the one hand, Eagles can be the perfect landing site for him pairing his weakness with the team’s strength.

On the other hand, Jalen gets hurt from the worst bag rate in his career will you marry these weaknesses? In addition, SLOWIK has some experience with an RPO -based violation, in Houston he only called 98 RPOs in total, which is approx. 6 Games worth of RPOs for Eagles, and 49ers During his time there was at best in the middle of the package in the RPO volume.

Andy Kotelnicki, Penn State Offensive Coordinator

An increasing star in the college’s circles, Kotelnicki is probably a well -known name for Eagles and not just because he is training in Penn State. Until last year, Kotelnicki spent 11 seasons like Lance Leipold’s right man and won back to back D-III titles a decade ago. Siriannis brother Mike has been a D-III head trainer for over 20 years. Kotelnicki then helped transform Buffalo and Kansas under Leipold, and this year outside Leipold’s Shadow he made Penn State’s violation into one of the most effective in the country despite not having any actual WR’s. He wants to be a college -head trainer before rather than later, and he has never coached in the NFL at any level, but he is someone team should bring in for an interview.

Darrell Besel, Dolphins QB -Coach/Pass -Game Coordinator

If you are looking for a coach who has had some success as a Play call in the NFL and not at the moment is a play call in the NFL, it is a rather short list and Darrell Bærell is on it.

Nathan Scheelhaase, Rams Pass Game Specialist

Before hiring Brian Johnson as OC in 2023, the Eagles Scheelhaase interviewed who had just been promoted to be Iowa State‘s oc after spending the previous season as RB and WR Coach. So he’s definitely on the teams’ radar.

He was reportedly in the mixture of Jaguars and under Liam Coen, but last week pulled out. Maybe something more appealing opened?

Scheelhaase would be a huge risk. He has a year of his life calling acting at any level ,. He also has no experience with an RPO overgrowth, he is coached with exclusively pocket -bipiced.

Marcus Brady, Chargers Passing Game Coordinator

There are benefits of promoting from the inside. Continuity, confidentiality, probably also a faster conversation. There are also benefits to bringing votes outside of voices. New ideas, different experiences. Brady would split the difference after being Eagles assistant in 2022 and 2023 and previously worked with Nick Sirianni in Indianapolis. Brady would also be a huge risk, but at least he wouldn’t be a blind date.
