The Eagles have requested to interview Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for their OC position, according to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter. <\/a><\/p>\n

Doyle, 30, was hired last offseason as the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL. He could take the Eagles\u2019 OC job because he doesn\u2019t call plays for Chicago, so it wouldn\u2019t be a lateral move.<\/p>\n

The Eagles likely want to hire someone with more experience, but the veteran offensive coordinators available are underwhelming. <\/p>\n

If the team is willing to take a risk on a young coach instead, Doyle could be their guy. He has learned under offensive genius Ben Johnson and could bring new ideas to Philadelphia. <\/p>\n

Declan offers a higher ceiling than other candidates, but a lower floor. Some first-time play callers succeed, while others fail terribly.<\/p>\n

The Eagles have fired two first-time play callers, Kevin Patullo and Brian Johnson, in the last three years, so going down that road again would be risky. But an outside candidate could pan out better than those in-house hires.<\/p>\n

Not only did Doyle learn from Johnson this season, he has also coached five seasons under offensive guru Sean Payton for two different teams. He was the Broncos\u2019 tight ends coach for two seasons before taking the Chicago job. He joined Denver after spending three seasons (2019-2021) as Payton\u2019s offensive assistant with the Saints.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Doyle helped Chicago finish as the sixth best total offense and rank in the top 10 of many other offensive categories. <\/p>\n

\u201cDeclan has done a phenomenal job this year,\u201d Johnson said about Doyle last week. \u201cHe\u2019s everything I thought he was going to be and some. He\u2019s got tremendous presence in front of the players, extremely smart. He\u2019s picked up the offense quickly throughout the spring and camp and has been able to augment it. We\u2019ve got such a strong coaching staff, from the coordinators to position coaches, to some of these young coaches as well. They\u2019re going to continue to ascend, and I think the future\u2019s bright for a guy like Declan. Hopefully we can keep him here for a long time, but I know he\u2019s been an asset to me, he\u2019s been an asset to our offense and all these players as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Eagles have requested to interview Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for their OC position, according to ESPN\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2070],"tags":[75435,374,692,391,2493,7,6,31185],"class_list":["post-696624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-chicago-bears","tag-a1c00808","tag-bears","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-bears","tag-chicagobears","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-nflraw25"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115939553127938578","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=696624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696624\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
