The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a disappointing 23-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round, leading to the dismissal of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. In the aftermath of their early playoff exit, reports emerged that former New York Giants coach Brian Daboll is set to interview for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator position. Daboll was let go by the Giants after a rough start to the 2025 season.
Upon hearing the news of Daboll’s potential hiring, fans took to social media to express their thoughts. One Twitter user pleaded to “SAVE JALEN HURTS,” while another joked that it would be “Saquon Barkley’s worst nightmare” if Daboll joined the Eagles. Some fans questioned Daboll’s ability to succeed in Philadelphia given his struggles in New York.
Despite the speculation surrounding Daboll, he is also reportedly in the running for the Tennessee Titans’ coaching job and has interviews lined up with other teams for the 2026 season.
In a surprising twist, a recent report from “The Athletic” suggested that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a source of internal frustration within the team. Concerns have been raised about the team’s offensive performance, with star wide receiver A.J. Brown expressing his discontent over his lack of production.
Despite the mounting criticism towards Hurts, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, general manager Howie Roseman, and owner Jeffrey Lurie have been hesitant to publicly criticize the quarterback who led them to a Super Bowl victory in 2025. The decision on who the Eagles hire as their next offensive coordinator will likely have a significant impact on Hurts’ future with the team.
As the Eagles navigate through this period of uncertainty, it remains to be seen how they will address their offensive struggles and internal issues. The hiring of a new offensive coordinator could be a crucial step in reshaping the team’s direction for the upcoming season.
