Though he does have play-calling experience, Gizzard doesn\u2019t exactly boast the most impressive resume.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Bucs hired Grizzard to assist Liam Coen in replacing Dave Canales as Tampa\u2019s offensive coordinator. Then Grizzard replaced Coen as OC in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Grizzard\u2019s sole season as a play-caller resulted in the Bucs ranking 19th in points and 20th in yards. He was fired after just one year on the job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In fairness, Tampa dealt with a lot of injury issues in 2025. But it\u2019s hard to ignore how the Bucs fell off a cliff and finished 8-9 after their 6-2 start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There was a point last season when Baker Mayfield was generating MVP buzz, so, that much probably contributes to the Eagles having interest in him. But one would think they\u2019re looking for either a more proven candidate or a higher upside swing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Grizzard is now one of three known candidates to meet with the Eagles for a second offensive coordinator interview. The other two are Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter and Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Eagles also previously interviewed former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, and Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson at least once.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It seems like the team is narrowing their list and getting closer to making a hire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles hosted former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard for a second interview regarding their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2077],"tags":[1842,211,25,7,345,253,8578,28058,14916,251,6,12611,109,19080,11052,209,704,250,2597,2596,425],"class_list":["post-714768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-baker-mayfield","tag-buccaneers","tag-eagles","tag-football","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-houston-texans","tag-icon-sportswire","tag-jerrod-johnson","tag-josh-grizzard","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-nfl","tag-offensive-coordinator","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-quarterbacks-coach","tag-sean-mannion","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-bay","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tampabay","tag-tampabaybuccaneers","tag-the-eagles"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115980262803146091","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714768","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=714768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
