Jonathan Gannon was the perceived big name from the Eagles set to draw coaching interest, but it is offensive coordinator Shane Steichen who has the buzz early on.
According to Ian Rapoport, Carolina has requested to interview the Eagles’ offensive coordinator for their vacant head coaching job.
The Panthers fired Matt Rhule and replaced him with Steve Wilks as the interim coach.
Wilks went 6-6 as the interim head coach after Carolina got off to a 1-4 start. The Panthers were 4-1 at home under Wilks and nearly won the NFC South.
Steichen has overseen the Eagles’ offensive explosion since taking over play-calling duties during the 2021 season and has a good reputation for a run-centric approach to the offense while helping develop Chargers star signal caller, Justin Herbert.
Steichen has been at the helm of Jalen Hurts’ MVP candidacy, Miles Sanders logging his first 1,000-yard rushing season, along with two 1,000-yard receivers in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
