The Eagles are looking for a new offensive coordinator, and a former head coach could be just what the doctor ordered.
Dianna Russini is reporting that former Falcon head coach Arthur Smith is receiving offensive coordinator interest from teams around the league, and we believe Philadelphia should be at the top of that list.
Former Falcons head coach Arthur Smith has received serious interest from more than 7 teams about joining their offensive staff as the offensive coordinator, per sources.
He will have options.— Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) January 23, 2024
Smith was fired after a 48-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints that cemented a disappointing 7-10 season.
The Falcons had an outside chance to win the NFC South with a victory in the season finale but were outscored 31-0 after halftime. Smith finished 21-30 in his three seasons with the team.
Smith brings a lot to the table as an offensive coordinator and assistant and could be what Sirianni and the Eagles badly desire.
Before joining Atlanta, Smith spent ten seasons in the Titans organization but stood out in his last two as Tennessee’s offensive coordinator under Mike Vrabel.
Under Smith’s guidance, the Titans have been the only team in the NFL that ranked in the top five in rushing yards per game (153.5) and passer rating (107.0) since 2019, per NFL Research.
Smith would bring an efficient run-pass balance to the Eagles offense, and he could help steady Jalen Hurts after an adversity-filled 2023 season.
