The Philadelphia Eagles are taking their time replacing Mike Groh as offensive coordinator, but Adam Schefter of ESPN.com believes one former coach of the Birds NFC East rival could fit the bill.
While appearing on 975 The Fanatic’s Farzetta and Tra In The Morning show on Wednesday, Schefter stated that McAdoo could be a name to watch in regards to the Eagles offensive coordinator opening.
“Ben McAdoo is out there,” Schefter said. “The Eagles, at one point in time, were actually interested in hiring him as a head coach. I think he’s ready to come back into the game as an offensive coordinator.”
Pederson is the play-caller in Philadelphia, so joining the Eagles would be the ultimate reputation rebuilder and the chance to have potential employers see his rebuilt image.
McAdoo was the head coach of the New York Giants for less than two full seasons and was removed in 2017 following a 2-10 start that saw Eli Manning’s streak of consecutive starts at quarterback come to an end.
Pederson could turn to Duce Staley or Press Taylor for the role, although Jim Caldwell is a name that has been thrown around the rumor mill.
