The Philadelphia Eagles, for all intents and purposes, are in the desperation phase of trying to hire a new offensive coordinator — a prime opening for an up-and-coming assistant to step in and make an impact with an already-assembled group of Pro Bowlers and NFL All-Pro talent.
It also seems like the one job in this hiring cycle no one wants to touch.
The latest to turn his back on the job is Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who has informed the Eagles he’s staying put.
“Bears OC Declan Doyle has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator vacancy, per sources,” The Athletic’s Diana Russini wrote on X on Monday. “Doyle opts to remain in Chicago, working with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.”
Doyle wasn’t the only potential OC candidate to tell the Eagles “Thanks but no thanks” this week.
“LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. spoke to the Philadelphia Eagles about their offensive coordinator vacancy but informed the team he has chosen to remain with Lane Kiffin and the Tigers, per sources,” Russini added.
The Eagles’ courtship of Doyle didn’t last long — they only requested to interview with him on January 22.
“Eagles have requested to interview Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for their offensive coordinator position,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on his official X account on Thursday. “Doyle was hired last off-season as the NFL’s youngest offensive coordinator and he previously coached under Sean Payton in New Orleans and Denver.”
