Duce Staley had to be upset about again being passed over for the Eagles offensive coordinator job but did the omission cause the former NFL star to inquire about a coaching job?
According to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Staley, a former South Carolina star running back inquired with Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp about the running backs coach position but was turned away.
Philadelphia Eagles assistant head coach and running backs coach Duce Staley, a former South Carolina tailback, inquired with Muschamp about the running backs coach position but was rebuffed, a source told The Athletic.
Now according to NBC Sports Rueben Frank via a source familiar with Staley, the former Gamecocks running back isn’t looking to leave the Eagles.
South Carolina running backs coach Thomas Brown left the program to take the running backs job under Sean McVay with the Rams, and that left some wondering if Staley was upset about being passed over by Doug Pederson.
According to the source, Staley would never leave the Eagles for a college gig, but once again being passed over for a promotion definitely has to sting?
