Head Coach Nick Sirianni made it very clear speaking with the media what he was looking for in his next offensive coordinator – someone with a new way of looking at this side of the football, a coach who would add new elements to help maximize the top-tier talent the Eagles possess.
Someone to take the offense to another level in its growth.
“There’s going to be things that they bring that are going to be fresh ideas for us to help our players grow and help our players play at the top level, and there have been some things that we’ve done really well on offense, too, in the past that you’ll mesh in some of that together, as well, I think with some of the success that we’ve had these last three years and the things that our guys do well,” Sirianni said. “So I’m excited about that, the new ideas meshing with some of the old ideas.
