The Philadelphia Eagles quest to name a new offensive coordinator now has the team exploring a top Pac 12 club’s passing game coordinator.
According to Jeff McLane of The Inquirer, the Eagles are set to interview Southern Call offensive coordinator, Graham Harrell.
USC had recently announced a three-year contract extension with Harrell, worth $1.2 million per season, according to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, after the former college and NFL quarterback turned down Tom Herman and the Texas Longhorns.
Last season Harrell helped the Trojans rise from 63rd among FBS programs in offensive yards per play (5.77) in 2018 to 15th (6.61) in 2019.
Under Harrell, Southern Cal went from 91st in scoring offense (26.1 points) to 36th (33.2), and their passing offense ranked fifth nationally (335.9 yards per game) a year after being amongst the worst in college football.
Before landing at USC, Harrell was the offensive coordinator at North Texas and outside WR coach and offensive analyst at Washington St. under the new Mississpit State head coach, Mike Leach.
