Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson remains in the mix for the Eagles offensive coordinator job.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Johnson had a second interview with the team on Thursday.
Johnson has been coaching the quarterbacks in Houston for the last three seasons. He previously worked for the Vikings, Colts, and 49ers and does not have any experience as a coordinator at this point in his career.
Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter and Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion have also spoken to the team multiple times. A number of other candidates have also been on the radar, although some have moved on to other jobs as the Eagles have spent most of the last month trying to find the right fit for their offense.
There’s another team with interest in Jim Bob Cooter to be their offensive coordinator.
Per Peter Schrager of ESPN, Cooter will meet with the Giants to discuss that team’s OC vacancy.
The Giants were likely to hire Todd Monken to be the club’s first offensive coordinator under new head coach John Harbaugh. But the Browns interrupted those plans by hiring Monken as their head coach. So now, the Giants will have to pivot.
Cooter has been with the Colts since 2023. He was previously an offensive coordinator with the Lions from 2016-2018. He’s also spent time with the Chiefs, Broncos, Jets, Eagles, and Jaguars.
Philadelphia has also expressed interest in Cooter as a potential option at offensive coordinator.
New York has reportedly requested an interview with Broncos passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb as well.
The Eagles’ extended search for a new offensive coordinator now includes a second interview with Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Cooter had an in-person interview with the team on Tuesday. Cooter interviewed with the Eagles virtually earlier this month.
The Colts could have blocked Cooter from interviewing since it is a lateral move, but moving to the Eagles would give Cooter a chance to call offensive plays. Head coach Shane Steichen handles those duties for the Colts.
Steichen and Cooter were both on Nick Sirianni’s Eagles’ staff in 2021 with Steichen as the offensive coordinator and Cooter in a consulting role. That familiarity could help Cooter land a different role in Philly this time around.
Broncos quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator Davis Webb has received interest as a head coaching candidate this month and he’s also a candidate for another move up the coaching ladder.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Webb has received requests from the Eagles, Giants, and Ravens to interview for their offensive coordinator openings. The Giants and Ravens have new head coaches while the Eagles are looking for a new coordinator after relieving Kevin Patullo of those duties.
Any decision about pursuing those jobs could be tied to the Raiders’ plans at head coach. Webb has interviewed with them twice for the position with the most recent coming on Monday. Joe Brady and Brian Daboll were also candidates in Vegas, but Brady became the Bills’ head coach Tuesday while Daboll has signed on as the Titans’ offensive coordinator.
The Broncos also fired their offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi on Tuesday, so there could be a chance for Webb to earn a promotion without leaving Denver. Head coach Sean Payton calls the team’s offensive plays, however, and Webb would have the opportunity to do that role with the other teams interested in his services.
It looks like the Eagles are getting closer to finding their next offensive coordinator.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Philadelphia is bringing in Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion for an in-person interview this week.
This will be Mannion’s second interview with the club, as he previously met virtually with the Eagles.
Mannion, 33, just finished his first year as Green Bay’s quarterbacks coach, having replaced the legendary Tom Clements. It was his second year on the Packers’ staff, as he served as an offensive assistant in 2024.
A Rams third-round pick in 2015, Mannion served as a backup for the franchise for his first four seasons. He then bounced between the Vikings and Seahawks for the rest of his playing career. Mannion appeared in a total of 14 games with three starts, throwing for 573 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.
