The past week has been nothing short of a rollercoaster for the Philadelphia Eagles. In just a few days, they’ve experienced the high of winning the Super Bowl and celebrated with a victory parade, only to quickly pivot as their offensive coordinator departed for the New Orleans Saints to become the new head coach.
Amidst these developments, there’s talk of more changes on the horizon. Ian Rapoport brought attention to the situation on X, noting that Doug Nussmeier, who serves as the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach, is set to interview with the Saints for the role of offensive coordinator.
On the bright side, this could be an ideal stepping stone for Nussmeier, who would be joining a team where he already has a rapport with the head coach. The Saints are facing some struggles, particularly on the offensive end, and Nussmeier’s expertise could be a significant boon.
However, should Nussmeier depart, the Eagles would find themselves needing to fill yet another critical position within their coaching staff, a task that could present challenges as they prepare for the 2025 season. Nick Sirianni will still be at the helm as head coach, but the team’s strategies on both offense and defense might undergo significant changes with new coordinators stepping in.
Despite these potential hurdles, there’s a silver lining. The Eagles plan to keep the core of their top players intact, which should provide some stability as they gear up for the 2025 season. While leadership may shift, maintaining player motivation under Sirianni’s guidance leaves the door wide open for success in the coming years.
