Nick Sirianni still needs a new offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. Top options are dropping like flies as they take different jobs or get promotions.

Who is left for the Eagles to potentially bring in as Kevin Patullo’s replacement at OC?

Remaining Eagles offensive coordinator candidates

Sean Mannion, Packers QBs coach

The former NFL quarterback emerged as a candidate on Tuesday morning. He has only been coaching in the NFL for two years with the Green Bay Packers’ offense. He is expected to interview in person with the Eagles after already completing a virtual one with the team.

Frank Smith, former Dolphins OC

Mike McDaniel didn’t choose the Eagles, so they could bring in his former OC with the Miami Dolphins. Smith caught some OC buzz over the last two offseasons due to Miami’s offensive prowess and his impact. He is on the board for Philly right now.

Jim Bob Cooter, Colts OC

Some believe Cooter could be in the driver’s seat for this position, but it is simply too tough to tell. The Colts OC got permission to interview with the Eagles for their opening, since it would also come with calling plays. He is currently not doing that for the Colts.

Jerrod Johnson, Texans QBs coach

The Eagles interviewed Johnson in 2024 before they hired now New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore, too. Moore was impressive during his short stint with the Eagles, so that move paid off for the team. With that, the Eagles also have a deeper understanding of Johnson’s coaching mantra due to their history together.

Matt Nagy, former Chiefs OC

Nagy was receiving head coaching interviews this offseason. Now, he is looking to at least land an OC job somewhere in the NFL. The Chiefs have already hired Eric Bieniemy as their new offensive coordinator, so teams have a bit of an upper hand in hiring Nagy right now. He’s still in this race for Philly.

Brian Daboll, former Giants HC

The Buffalo Bills just hired Joe Brady as their head coach. That seemingly takes Daboll out of the running for landing in Buffalo, either at HC or OC. Accordingly, Daboll could turn his attentions toward the Tennessee Titans OC opening or Philadelphia’s. There are not many OC openings remaining right now.

UPDATE: Daboll is expected to be the next Titans offensive coordinator after not landing the Bills HC job.
