Indianapolis Colts’<\/a> offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter has an interview request.<\/p>\n

According to the NFL Network’s<\/a> Mike Garafolo, the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> would like to interview Cooter for their coordinator opening.<\/p>\n

Since Cooter does not call the plays for the Colts<\/a> — Shane Steichen does — and the Eagles’ opening is likely a play-calling role, this job would be a step up for him.<\/p>\n

Cooter was on the Eagles’ staff in 2021 under current head coach Nick Sirianni.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, before Steichen took over as the Colts’ head coach, he was the Eagles’ offensive coordinator. So there is a connection between the current offense that Cooter operates in and what the Eagles have done previously under Sirianni and Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n

This season, the Colts’ offense finished eighth in points per game<\/a> scored and eighth in yards per play.<\/p>\n
