The New York Giants’ loss could be the Philadelphia Eagles’ gain with rumors suggesting they could hire their former head coach amid their offensive issues continuing despite having a strong record
Brian Daboll could join the Philadelphia Eagles in a shock move
Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll could be on the Philadelphia Eagles’ radar as a future offensive coordinator after being let go from their NFC East rivals.
Daboll was fired after three-and-a-half years with the team, joining from the Buffalo Bills as Josh Allen’s former coordinator and play caller. The former Giants head coach had won coach of the year in 2022, but saw the team struggle in back-to-back years before injuries decimated their roster this season.
The Athletic’s Diana Russini has stated that ‘some have floated the idea of him as the future offensive coordinator for the Eagles’, suggesting the rumors could have some credence.

The Eagles offense looks like it could do with some aid in that aspect, having lost former coordinator in Kellen Moore – who joined the New Orleans Saints as their head coach this past offseason.
Philadelphia hired Kevin Patullo to the offensive coordinator role as a first-time play caller, having made the move up from quarterbacks coach.
So far, Eagles fans have been less than impressed with Patullo – despite Jalen Hurts’ impressive stats of 16 touchdowns to just one interception.
AJ Brown is not happy in the Eagles’ offense
Their offense has certainly not been as potent through the first-half of the season, with wide receiver AJ Brown making himself clear that he is not happy.
Russini has stated that the frustrations are due to Hurts’ struggles so far this season, with Brown being unhappy with one aspect in particular.
Russini added: “After doing some digging and asking people inside the Eagles building, it was explained that multiple offensive players have grown frustrated with Jalen Hurts’ approach this season, particularly against zone coverage. They believe he’s become hesitant in tight windows, leaning on checkdowns or scrambles instead of trusting what’s open downfield.”
Despite being one of the premiere talents at the WR position, Brown is 51st in the league in receiving yards with just 408 – the worst he’s ever had since entering the league in 2019.
Kevin Patullo has work to do to stay in his role as Eagles OC
The Eagles have a 7-2 record despite this, but issues among their offense could see them make a hire.
Daboll is sure to be a name a number of teams could chase as their offensive coordinator, while college football teams could also eye him as their head coach.
He has previously served as Alabama’s offensive coordinator – where he had called plays for Hurts before.
While hiring him to the role as offensive coordinator would be a bold move this season, Daboll could be brought in as an offensive advisor to aid with the Eagles.
