As things currently stand, seven of the league’s 32 head-coaching jobs are open.
That means at some point, the Eagles could very well be competing with one or two other teams for the same candidate (admit it, you’d be intrigued by a Jeffrey Lurie/Howie Roseman vs. Joe Banner showdown).
So in this space, we’ll track which candidates are scheduled to interview with which teams. The list will be updated constantly as new reports surface.
The Eagles are one of three teams that will interview Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, according to Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie denied the report, although he very well could just be trying to keep the coaching search quiet.
“We’ve contacted no coaches,” he said. “That’s all starting today. There’s no trips planned, there’s nothing planned yet. That’s all to be done.”
Lurie did admit that the team had its list of candidates made.
