Ojomo announced himself on the biggest stage \u2014 the Eagles\u2019 Super Bowl win over the Chiefs \u2014 and carried that level of play into the 2025 season. He ended the year with a higher PFF overall grade than Jalen Carter\u2019s 71.0 and a higher PFF pass-rush grade than Jordan Davis\u2019 71.1, both first-round picks. That production showed up in the box score, as well, as Ojomo recorded 54 pressures, the second most on the Eagles and the sixth most among all interior defenders. He also notched six sacks, the second most on the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/news\/169394\/brian-daboll-reportedly-wont-be-the-eagles-new-offensive-coordinator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brian Daboll reportedly won\u2019t be the Eagles\u2019 new offensive coordinator &#8211; BGN<\/a><br \/>The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly entered their offensive coordinator search with Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll as their top two candidates.

During that 2023 season, his team averaged 135.8 rushing yards per game, good for sixth in the NFL. In 2025, with Tagovailoa and the passing game having taken a massive step back, the ground game still ranked 13th with 120.2 yards per game. During his last stint as an offensive coordinator, McDaniel helped lead the 49ers offense to the seventh-ranked unit in the NFL with an average of 375.7 yards per game. They also ranked seventh in rushing yards per game with 127.4 per game. Out of all the available play-callers left on the market, McDaniel was arguably the best there was. He had several interviews for head coaching opportunities this cycle but he chose to step out of the running for those and make his way out to Los Angeles where he will get the chance to coach Justin Herbert in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/nfl\/1100930\/mike-mcdaniel-could-turn-the-chargers-into-an-afc-powerhouse\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mike McDaniel could turn the Chargers into an AFC powerhouse &#8211; SB Nation<\/a><br \/>Mike McDaniel made a move this week that we rarely see in NFL coaching circles: Understanding his limitations. The former head coach of the Miami Dolphins informed teams, most notably the Browns, that he was withdrawing his name from any head coaching considerations, which were shortly followed by reports that he is going to accept a position as offensive coordinator with the Los Angeles Chargers. It\u2019s a step backwards career wise, but also the best decision McDaniel could have ever made. Instead of ramming his head into a new brick wall trying to change the fortunes of a franchise from the top, McDaniel now gets to be a piece of the puzzle. It\u2019s a role that suits him far better for this point in his life and coaching career, with the added benefit of being a key reason the landscape of the AFC will change in 2026 and beyond. In order to understand why McDaniel to the Chargers is so exciting, we have to go back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Packers release CB Trevon Diggs, add two on futures contracts &#8211; Acme Packing Company<\/a><br \/>Joining Crumedy as a new addition to the Packers is quarterback Kyle McCord, who started for both Ohio State and Syracuse in college. He too was a 6th-round draft pick like Crumedy, going 181st overall to Philadelphia in 2025. He did not make the roster at final cuts in August, however, spending the entirety of 2025 on the Eagles\u2019 practice squad. After three years with the Buckeyes, including a 2023 season that saw him lead the Big Ten in yards per attempt, he transferred to Syracuse for the 2024 season and ended the year as the FBS\u2019 most prolific passer. His 391 completions, 592 pass attempts, and 4,779 yards all led the FBS last season and he earned a second-place and a few third-place votes for the 2024 Heisman Trophy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ganggreennation.com\/new-york-jets-depth-chart\/91070\/scouting-jets-edge-defender-ochaun-mathis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Scouting Jets edge defender Ochaun Mathis &#8211; Gang Green Nation<\/a><br \/>The Eagles then signed Mathis to their practice squad and he made one appearance, with one tackle, down the stretch. He did not play in the NFL this season, despite spending time with the Eagles, Titans and Browns. The Jets signed him to their practice squad in late December but did not elevate him for any games. They did sign him to a futures deal after the season, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggingtheboys.com\/dallas-cowboys-analysis\/195177\/nfc-east-offseason-john-harbaugh-defensvie-coordinator-search\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cowboys need to hit home runs this offseason to avoid last place in the NFC East &#8211; Blogging The Boys<\/a><br \/>Of course, there\u2019s also the Philadelphia Eagles, who are not afraid to counter their mistakes in a big way, making sure they don\u2019t happen again the following year. They are also looking for a new offensive coordinator to help elevate the offense to pair it with their championship-level defense. The Eagles are determined to pursue the top options available on the market. That\u2019s why there is enormous pressure on the Cowboys to not only nail their hire at defensive coordinator, but sign quality free agents and add two starting, A-plus rookies with their two first-round picks. Jerry Jones needs to be aggressive. Dallas is still interested in talking with Jim Leonhard in person, but the Denver Broncos\u2019 extended playoff stay has put it on hold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hogshaven.com\/washington-commanders-rumors\/399131\/washington-commanders-coaching-search-tracker-commanders-assistant-gets-head-coach-interview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Commanders Coaching Search Tracker: Commanders assistant gets head coach interview &#8211; Hogs Haven<\/a><br \/>Anthony Lynn hasn\u2019t been a head coach since 2020 when he was fired by the Los Angeles Chargers after four seasons, but has his first interview opportunity with the Buffalo Bills. He was hired by the Washington Commanders as their run game coordinator. Lynn was part of Dan Quinn\u2019s new coaching staff, and he brought a lot of experience as a former player, running backs coach, offensive coordinator, and his two stints as a head coach. The Bills gave him his first taste of being a head coach, but it was on an interim basis after Rex Ryan was fired. He was a finalist to keep the job that eventually went to recently-fired Sean McDermott, and now gets another chance to get the gig full-time. Lynn was not interviewed for the Commanders OC job which went to assistant QB coach David Blough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigblueview.com\/new-york-giants-news\/152693\/gm-joe-schoen-change-in-power-structure-doesnt-matter-john-harbaugh\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NY Giants\u2019 GM Joe Schoen says change in team\u2019s power structure \u2018doesn\u2019t matter\u2019 &#8211; Big Blue View<\/a><br \/>No one connected to the New York Giants has uttered the words \u201chead coach John Harbaugh has final say over personnel, not GM Joe Schoen.\u201d No one has to. It is understood. A Super Bowl-winning coach with 18 years of experience, 12 of those years ending with playoff appearances, is not taking a job where he will be overruled by a first-time GM with a 22-45-1 overall record. Harbaugh reports directly to co-owner John Mara. He said that \u201cmade sense\u201d and was the type of arrangement he had in Baltimore with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti. \u201cEverybody wants to make a little bit about who\u2019s making what decision, but at the end the point is that we should all agree to agree,\u201d Harbaugh said. It is a big deal, though, that in an organization that has operated with the GM at the top of the organizational chart since the days of George Young has taken that power away from a GM who had it for the past four years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Social Media Information:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BGN Facebook Page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Bleeding-Green-Nation\/57835308051\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to like our page<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BGN Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleedingGreen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @BleedingGreen<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BGN BlueSky: <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/bleedgreennation.bsky.social\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @bleedgreennation.bsky.social<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BGN Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bleedinggreeninsta\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @BleedingGreenInsta<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BGN Manager: Follow Brandon Lee Gowton on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BrandonGowton\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:347sapgyqpp2ukrikt4ipubb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BlueSky<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@brandongowton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BGN Radio Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BGN_Radio\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @BGN_Radio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eagles Question of the Day: Are you concerned about the Eagles\u2019 offensive coordinator search?
