The Philadelphia #Eagles have four assistant coaches make a list of 2024 head coaching candidates to watch

The 3-0 Eagles are one the hottest teams in the NFL right now, and with success comes poachers from the opposition looking to lure your best coaches away.

When hiring Nick Sirianni, Philadelphia assembled one of the NFL’s youngest coaching staff, and that dynamic group has already been broken up thanks to their versatility and vast talents.

Shane Steichen took his talents to Indianapolis, and he’s doing wonders with Anthony Richardson.

The much-maligned Jonathan Gannon is in Arizona, and his Cardinals just upset the top-ranked Dallas Cowboys.

Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr listed the top 65 potential NFL head coaching candidates for 2024. The Eagles had four assistant coaches on the list, with their offensive coordinator as a two-time nominee.

Nick Sirianni to hand over playcalling duties to Eagles next offensive coordinator

During his end-of-season press conference, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that Philadelphia’s next offensive coordinator will continue to call the plays

The Eagles have yet to start interviewing potential offensive coordinators, but whoever does land the job will be tasked with calling the offensive plays as well.

During his end-of-season press conference, head coach Nick Sirianni said that even with Shane Steichen leaving to become head coach of the Colts, he has no plans to resume calling offensive plays next year.

Quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson is the candidate that is expected to replace Steichen as offensive coordinator, although the Eagles haven’t made it official yet.

“It does help me manage the game better in my opinion,” he said. “It, helps me interact with the players more on the sideline. And it helps me be able to discuss something with som, ebody upstairs to get on the defensive headset when the offense is up or vice versa. Yes, that will be my intent, to let the next offensive coordinator call the game.”

Sirianni ceded play-calling duties to Steichen two months into the 2021 season and Philadelphia never looked back, establishing an offensive identity while finishing the season 7-2 in their last nine meaningful games to reach the playoffs.

The Eagles are 21-5 since Sirianni relinquishplay-callinging duties and it allows the head coach to better manage the overall product.
