Now that we’re three days into the process, here’s an updated list of potential Eagles coaching targets.
Multiple reports Tuesday suggested that it was a near certainty that Andy Reid would end up in Arizona. Now Kansas City appears in play. Plus, news on the Eagles’ potential pursuit of Bill O’Brien and one name that just got scratched off the list.
Now that we’re in the New Year, here’s a look at Eagles draft picks and opponents in 2013.
Soon after the Eagles find their next head coach, the attention will turn to the quarterback position.
And while Andy Reid’s replacement is poised to make the call at QB, he’ll no doubt get input from others within the organization, including general manager Howie Roseman.
Roseman met with reporters earlier this week and was asked if he thinks the Eagles are in good shape at quarterback.
The most sought-after NFL assistant on the market this week appears to be Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.
And a source confirms that the Eagles plan on interviewing him.
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.
Tim and Sheil will broadcast live on 97.5 The Fanatic from 6 to 7. They’ll discuss the Eagles’ coaching search and the direction of the franchise. Listen live right here.
For Philadelphia readers, the show will broadcast live from Smith’s at 19th and Chestnut. If you’re in the area, stop by and say hello.
The Bill O’Brien buzz is not going away. The Penn State head coach is strongly considering interviewing for an NFL job, according to a report. Plus, the latest on Chip Kelly and Mike McCoy.
Jeffrey Lurie confessed at Monday’s press conference that the organization began getting away from some of its core philosophies over the last few years in an attempt to chase down the Lombardi Trophy that always seemed just out of their grasp. Part of their methodology that was abandoned to a certain extent was: “Don’t do necessarily what is popular, but do what’s right.”
That was how Lurie approached the head coaching search the last time around. He has no championships to show for it, but you would have to say that the Eagles owner got it right when he selected the unknown Andy Reid.
The Eagles apparently like what they’ve seen from the 13-3 Falcons this season.
Earlier today, a report surfaced that they’d take a look at Atlanta offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. And now, Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com reports that the team has asked for permission to interview Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong.
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.

Yesterday, we brought you a report from Dan Pompei of the National Football Post, which suggested there’s “a good chance” of Jon Gruden becoming the next Eagles head coach.
And today, those rumors continue.
Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com reports that teams have quietly been in contact with Gruden’s representatives the past few weeks. And Gruden could start interviewing with teams as soon as today.
Andy Reid stood alone on the sideline. With his hands on his hips, in front of a half-empty stadium, he waited for David Carr to take one final knee at the Eagles’ 44-yard-line before strolling towards midfield.
The clock showed zeroes, Reid shook hands with Tom Coughlin, and another chapter in this franchise’s history came to a close.
A tale that started on Jan. 11, 1999 has reached its conclusion. Many will try today to put Reid’s 14-year tenure into perspective: 140 wins, 102 losses and one tie. Nine playoff appearances, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl appearance.
While things fell apart at the end – 4-12 this season, 12-20 in the last two – Reid’s relationships with his players will define his legacy here.
Who will be the next head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles? Here’s a list of names to get you started.
