I don’t suppose it’s perfect however offensive coordinator stability is the exception and never the norm in at this time’s NFL. The longest-tenured offensive coordinators within the NFL had been employed in 2022. Three of these 4 don’t name performs and the one who does (Mike Kafka) has gone on and off as a play-caller.
If a staff has OC, they sometimes get employed to be a head coach elsewhere. If a staff has a foul OC, they sometimes don’t have a really lengthy leash (see: the Eagles firing Brian Johnson after 2023).
Given this actuality, having a play-calling head coach appears perfect. However that’s clearly not the setup in Philly. Nick Sirianni referred to as performs for a number of video games in 2021 earlier than relinquishing that obligation to Shane Steichen, who was employed away by the Colts after the Eagles’ Tremendous Bowl loss to the Chiefs. Kellen Moore was employed away by the Saints after the Eagles’ Tremendous Bowl win over the Chiefs.
Present OC Kevin Patullo might very effectively be in line for a head teaching job if the Eagles are actually profitable once more this season. If not, he might meet the same destiny to Brian Johnson. Patullo confirmed some promise early in Week 1 earlier than the Eagles’ offense went chilly within the second half.
To this time limit, it’s onerous to argue the OC adjustments have been a serious hindrance to Eagles success. Sirianni is in the end 49-20 within the common season (fifth-best profitable proportion of any NFL head coach ever) and 6-3 within the playoffs with two Tremendous Bowl appearances since he was employed in 2021.
Stability could be good. However I don’t suppose it’s ever actually going to occur except the Eagles can discover the offensive model of Vic Fangio.
