17 offensive coordinator candidates for Eagles to consider in 2024 originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles are moving on from offensive coordinator Brian Johnson after just one season, which means the Eagles will have a new DC and a new OC in 2024.
Both searches are already under way.
On defense, the Eagles will be looking for someone to run that side of the ball. But on offense, they’ll be looking for someone to collaborate with head coach Nick Sirianni, who has run the offense since getting hired in 2021.
The unique thing about the OC job in Philly is that it comes with game day play-calling duties, which is a relative rarity under offensive-minded head coaches. Sirianni gave up play-calling to Shane Steichen during that rookie season and liked how it freed him up on Sundays. And he kept that setup during the 2023 season with Johnson.
So this is an attractive job because of the play-calling duties. But that also means the OC will have to run Sirianni’s offense and will need to convince him of any changes to that side of the ball.

Darrell Bevell: The 54-year-old Bevell has spent the last couple of seasons as the QBs coach and passing game coordinator for the Dolphins but he does has significant offensive coordinator experience with the Jaguars, Lions, Seahawks and Vikings. His longest stint came with the Seahawks from 2011-17. Bevell has worked with plenty of big-time quarterbacks in his career, including Brett Favre, Russell Wilson and Matthew Stafford.
Eric Bieniemy: In recent seasons, Bieniemy has certainly given the Eagles some fits and he’s likely available now after Ron Rivera was fired in Washington. Bieniemy still hasn’t gotten that head coaching job he’s been wanting but a chance to call plays for an offense that is supremely talented could be an appealing stepping stone to running his own team. Bieniemy played under Andy Reid in 1999 in Philly and coached under him…
