The Philadelphia Eagles are in need of an offensive coordinator and having Carson Wentz as the franchise quarterback should make the job interesting to a number of candidates.
According to Tim McManus of ESPN.com, former Lions head coach Jim Caldwell and former Redskins offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell have emerged as candidates for the job.
The Eagles fired offensive coordinator Mike Groh and wide receivers coach Carson Walch on Thursday, just one day after Doug Pederson said that they’d both be back. After meeting with owner Jeffery Lurie, that was not the case.
Groh had been the Eagles offensive coordinator for the past two seasons after joining the Eagles as wide receivers coach in 2017. He ascended to the job after Frank Reich landed the Indianapolis Colts head coach job.
Walch was with Groh in Chicago, before making the move to Philadelphia with him. He was the assistant wide receivers coach in 2018 before being promoted to the full-time wide receivers coach this season.
