Overview
- Philadelphia has asked to speak with Jim Bob Cooter about its offensive coordinator opening, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
- Because Shane Steichen calls plays for Indianapolis and the Eagles' coordinator would call plays, the move may be treated as a promotion under NFL guidelines that affect blocking rights.
- The vacancy follows Philadelphia's firing of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo earlier this week.
- Cooter previously worked with Nick Sirianni, serving as an Eagles consultant in 2021 and overlapping with him earlier in Kansas City, and his résumé includes stints as Lions OC and Jaguars passing game coordinator.
- Coverage notes Cooter's role on a 2025 Colts offense ranked top-10 in scoring and passing with Jonathan Taylor rushing for 1,585 yards, while some analysts question his fit with reports of Philadelphia seeking a different offensive direction.
