The Washington Redskins former offensive coordinator, Kevin O’Connell, is popping up as a potential candidate for the open position with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN’s Tim McManus.
The Redskins allowed O’Connell to interview with other teams of the OC position, as they hired former Carolina Panthers’ QB coach and OC, Scott Turner, to take over in Washington.
O’Connell is reportedly one of two candidates for the position, alongside former Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Caldwell. Philadelphia fired OC Mike Groh and wide receiver coach Carson Walch Thursday.
It is unclear whether or not O’Connell would be interested in the job, but should he be named the OC of the Eagles — keeping him in the NFC East division along with the Redskins — he would get the chance to work with Carson Wentz, one of the better young quarterbacks currently playing in the NFL.
