The Philadelphia Eagles have had a difficult season thus far but still, control their own destiny in the weak NFC East.
The format is simple for Philadelphia, win the next four straight — all divisional opponents — and host a Wild Card one month from now. Even with a playoff run, the Eagles will most certainly make changes to personnel and the coaching staff.

On Monday, ESPN NFL reporter Chris Mortensen was a guest on SportsCenter and had this to say about the Eagles.
“Barring a run in the playoffs, I would say there’s going to be some significant changes on the Philadelphia staff.”
Mortensen was simply making a hypothesis, as there’s been no indication from inside the organization that any changes are coming.
Philadelphia is now 5-7 after a loss to 3-9 Miami Dolphins, a game in which the Eagles stopped running the ball after taking a 28-14 lead. With the Eagles signing Carson Wentz to a longterm deal and the franchise focused on returning to the Super Bowl, here are 7 potential replacements at offensive coordinator if the team moves on from Mike Groh.

1. Duce Staley — Eagles assistant head coach
Staley is currently the Eagles running backs coach and also the assistant head coach. Staley, the fifth-leading rusher in franchise history, knows the franchise, has been around some creative offensive play-callers and would have no problem holding quarterback Carson Wentz accountable.
Pederson previously promoted Mike Groh to offensive coordinator, in part because Groh was more involved with the passing game daily.
