As the Eagles’ offensive coordinator search begins to ramp up, so do the in-person interviews.
The Eagles interviewed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard for a second time on Wednesday, this time in person, for their offensive coordinator opening. He becomes the third candidate to receive a second interview, joining Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter and Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion.
Jordan Schultz was the first to report the news.
Grizzard spent the last two years under Todd Bowles in Tampa, 2024 as passing game coordinator, where the Bucs ranked third in the NFL with 250 passing yards per game, and 2025 as offensive coordinator when their previous OC, Liam Coen, packed his bags for Jacksonville to be their head coach. He was fired earlier this month and replaced by Zac Robinson, the former OC for the Atlanta Falcons and a Sean McVay protege.
This past season, the Bucs ranked 21st in total yards and 18th in scoring with Grizzard as OC, finishing 8-9 after a 6-2 start.
Before that, the 35-year-old began his coaching career in 2012 as an intern with the Carolina Panthers under Ron Rivera. After gigs with Yale and Duke, he joined the Miami Dolphins as a quality control coach. Grizzard was retained in 2020 when Brian Flores took over and was promoted to wide receivers coach. Mike McDaniel also kept Grizzard when he replaced Flores in 2022, and he stayed in Miami through 2023 until Tampa picked him up.
In Grizzard’s final year in Miami, Vic Fangio was the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator.
The Eagles have previously interviewed former Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, and Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson at least once. All other targets have been hired in other places.
But now, the Eagles’ list seems to be narrowing down, and this marathon of a search could soon be reaching the finish line.
