Also, the #Eagles are expected to hire a formal offensive coordinator after a year without one. QBs coach Press Taylor had pass game coordinator added to his role last year and took on many of the OC responsibilities. His future with the team remains uncertain. https://t.co/cADxySlelt

Press Taylor was supposed to bring a new level of innovation to the Eagles offense when Doug Pederson promoted him to the position of passing game coordinator.
The brother of Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, Press had gained accolades from around the league for his football intelligence and according to The Athletic, he was expected to play a “vital” role shaping the Eagles offense in 2020.
Taylor became quarterbacks coach in 2017 when John Defilippo moved on and Pederson had the insight to know that he needed to give his young assistant coach more responsibility or risk losing him.
Now, fast forward some 3-years later, and Pederson could give Taylor his walking papers as he reshuffles the Eagles offensive coaching staff.
Jeff McLane of The Inquirer is reporting that Taylor’s future with the Eagles is uncertain, and it comes on the heels of a report that Doug Pederson will, in fact, hire an offensive coordinator.
Pederson is moving on from Rich Scangarello and Marty Mornhinweg as he looks to regain full control of the Eagles offense.
