Brian Daboll: Eagles’ OC Hope Fades as Titans Loom

Brian Daboll: Eagles’ Offensive Coordinator Pursuit Takes a Hit

The Philadelphia Eagles’ search for a new offensive coordinator has hit a snag. Recent developments suggest that Brian Daboll, a top target for the Eagles, is increasingly likely to land with the Tennessee Titans. This leaves head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman scrambling to adjust their plans.

Daboll’s Focus: Buffalo or Tennessee?

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the expectation is that if Brian Daboll doesn’t secure the head coaching position with the Buffalo Bills – where he’s already been interviewed – he’s poised to become the next offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans. The Eagles are reportedly proceeding with their search understanding this is the most probable outcome.

“The Eagles are conducting their offensive coordinator search with the understanding that Brian Daboll wants the Bills’ head coaching job,” Russini reported. “If he doesn’t land it, Daboll is expected to wind up in Tennessee as the offensive coordinator for Cam Ward and the Titans, per sources.”

Eagles Miss Out on Top Targets

Initially, Brian Daboll was considered one of Philadelphia’s prime candidates for the offensive coordinator role. He was joined by Mike McDaniel, who is now expected to take the play-calling reins with the Los Angeles Chargers. This means the Eagles have struck out on both of their preferred choices, a concerning development given the team’s offensive talent.

Is Dysfunction a Factor?

Some speculate that internal issues and perceived dysfunction within the Eagles’ offensive structure may have contributed to their inability to attract top-tier coaching candidates. The team’s offensive performance has been inconsistent, and potential coordinators may be hesitant to step into a potentially challenging environment.

What’s Next for the Eagles?

The Eagles now face a more difficult task in finding a suitable offensive coordinator. The loss of both Brian Daboll and Mike McDaniel forces them to broaden their search and potentially consider less prominent candidates. The pressure is on Sirianni and Roseman to find someone who can unlock the full potential of the Eagles’ offense.
