NFL.com says Eagles OC Mike Groh is emerging as a head coaching candidate to know

Mike Groh named a head coaching candidate to know by NFL.com

The NFL is a what have you done for me league and Black Monday — the day after the final regular-season game — usually includes a handful of firings.

NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport broke down the NFL head coach candidates to know before the carousel gets going and Eagles’ offensive coordinator Mike Groh landed on the honorable mentions list of “other guys on the radar.”

Th 48-year-old Groh started his NFL coaching career with the Bears where he was named the team’s wide receivers coach in 2013.

In 2016 the Los Angeles Rams hired Groh as their passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach.

In 2017, the Philadelphia Eagles hired Groh to be their wide receivers coach.

After the 2017 season when the Eagles won Super Bowl LII, Groh was promoted to offensive coordinator to replace Frank Reich after he took a head coaching job with the Colts.

Doug Pederson calls the plays, but Groh has caught most of the flak in the media for the Eagles offensive struggles this season. The Eagles offense has improved over the past month and it’ll be interesting to see how much Groh played in the improvement.
