Earlier this week, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown sounded off on the offense’s struggles.

“I mean, no. Where have you been?” Brown said in an answer to a question about how was during during an appearance on Janky Rondo’s Madden stream on Tuesday night. “No… like, family’s good, but everything else? No. It’s a (explicit) show. You on some ‘How you been?’ — I’ve been struggling, brother.”

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo have received the bulk of the criticism for the team’s dissatisfaction with the offense this season.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic is reporting that there is chatter in the league that former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll could be pegged as Philadelphia’s next offensive coordinator.

“Daboll is a football fanatic who knows the business, and he’s not done,” Russini wrote. “He wants to coach again, but it has to be in the right situation, in a spot that feels like the right fit.

“Some have floated the idea of him as the future offensive coordinator for the Eagles or the Texans… That’s all just fun fodder for now. There’s no doubt that he’ll be back.”

Daboll is regarded as a top offensive mind. He was the offensive coordinator for Alabama when the Crimson Tide won a national championship in 2017. He left Alabama to become the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills in 2018 and helped develop Josh Allen into one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Daboll would be an intriguing hire for Philadelphia. But he’d also be an interesting character to add to an already volatile locker room. Daboll was known for clashing with coaches and players in New York. He’d be a risky hire for Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni.
