Panthers have requested to interview Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby

Carolina Panthers have requested to interview Philadelphia Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby for General Manager job

The Eagles have one of the NFL’s most innovative and analytical front offices, and teams follow that blueprint.

After losing Ian Cunningham to the Bears, Brandon Brown to the Giants, Catherine Raiche to the Browns, and Andy Weidl to the Steelers, Philadelphia could lose Alec Halaby.

After cleaning the house, Carolina has requested an interview with Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby for their vacant GM position, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.

Halaby was promoted to Eagles assistant general manager in 2022 after spending six seasons as the team’s vice president of football operations.

Roseman restructured the front office after losing so many understudies.

In the Eagles’ current setup, Halaby shares the assistant GM title with former VP of football operations and compliance Jon Ferrari.

An analytical genius, Halaby is versatile and has quickly climbed the ranks in Philadelphia.

Former Eagles’ great Duce Staley fired as RB coach by Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have fired assistant head coach and running backs coach Duce Staley

The impact of Frank Reich’s firing is starting to trickle down to the coaching staff, as Duce Staley was fired as assistant head coach/ running backs coach according to Tom Pelissero.

A former Eagles running back and assistant coach, Staley left Dan Campbell’s staff in Detroit to join Frank Reich in Carolina.

Panthers owner David Tepper fired Reich on Monday morning, less than 24 hours after the owner left the locker room muttering an expletive following Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Nashville.

Special teams coach Chris Tabor has been appointed as interim head coach, while offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will assume playcalling duties with help from senior assistant Jim Caldwell.

Tabor and Caldwell made the call to relieve Staley and quarterbacks coach Josh McCown of their duties.

Reich’s tenure at Carolina ended with an NFL-worst 1-10 record — including an 0-6 mark on the road. He also becomes the first NFL head coach since the 1970 merger to be fired in back-to-back seasons after last year’s dismissal from the Colts.
