Eagles Seek Interview With Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter for Play-Calling Role

Cooter previously worked with Nick Sirianni in Philadelphia as an offensive consultant.

Overview

  • Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that Philadelphia requested to interview Cooter for its offensive coordinator vacancy.
  • Coverage notes differing interpretations of league rules on whether Indianapolis can block the interview because the Eagles’ job includes play-calling.
  • Cooter was on the Eagles’ staff in 2021 and previously overlapped with Sirianni earlier in their careers, reinforcing existing relationships.
  • Indianapolis ranked eighth in scoring and passing this season, and Jonathan Taylor ran for 1,585 yards with Cooter on staff under play-caller Shane Steichen.
  • The interest raises questions about Philadelphia’s offensive direction after reports suggested the team could shift away from Sirianni-era concepts.
